I acquired a home that had two Casablanca Delta 4 blade fans. Both fan motors and housings are in beautiful condition. However, one was hung in the kitchen and that didn't work for us. So, I took it down and stored it in-house for a while. We brought along a Hunter fan we really like that we had in our living room at the previous home. It will replace the Delta in the living room. We're renovating now and I intend to relocate the two Delta fans to two twin bedrooms. The blades from the stored fan have been lost and we'd like for the two fans to match but finding these exact blade replacements seems rather difficult. Will the blades from a Lady Delta fit the older Delta model? There seem to be plenty of these available online. The hole pattern looks to be close to the same although I have no measurements for the Lady Delta blades, only photos online. Does anyone have any experience or advice with/for this?

Hello,
The Lady Delta blades are made to fit a Lady Delta, and I believe have different spacing, however, you could use the Lady Delta blades and blade brackets on a Delta (they're just going to be shorter in length). The blades for the Delta are known as the "Standard Series" blades, so if you still have the brackets, you can find a set on eBay very affordably. Another option is to purchase generic replacement blades at Home Depot or Lowe's, although they are made of a cheaper material (MDF) instead of real Plywood, and you'll likely have to drill holes in the blades to match your Delta's blade brackets. Hope this helps you a bit.

Casablanca blades for their traditional fans of that era essentially got into three categories standard blades for the Ventura, Panama, Delta, etc.
The lady delta style blades
Both of varying sizes and different blade brackets for the lady delta. If you have blade irons and standard blades from day a Delta II you could use that on a lady delta as it all is interchangeable as the motor and flywheel is the same.
As for generic universal blades they will most likely not be wide enough for Casablanca blade irons.

As for generic universal blades they will most likely not be wide enough for Casablanca blade irons. The 3 series of blades are Standard (which use the "Open Crescent" style of blade bracket, and mount directly to the bracket with a more generic "Three-Hole" mount... what fans such as the Delta I/II/III, Panama 5/I/II, Four Seasons I, and Ventura I/II used), Badge (where a decorative "Badge" appears to be "Floating" on the edge of the blade, and the blade uses four holes to mount with the blade "Sandwiched" in between the "Badge" and the actual bracket), and Lady Delta, which is similar to the Standard, but uses a slightly different hole pattern, and the blade arms are shaped like a "Pretzel", or "Tulip"). The only exception are some of the early "South Seas" wicker blades, and the Avalon blades, which have their own attached bracket to mount to the fan motor/flywheel. |
