For the ceiling installation, a pitch of 12/12 is desirable, while a minimum construction space of 2 inches by 6 inches is necessary.

The 2.5 sones rating means this fan has the ability to deliver on relatively quiet operation. Even when it is operating at full power, the fan still doesn’t give out the type of noise that will distract you.

 

Airflow efficiency

The airflow efficiency rating is 50 CFM which is sufficient to clear the build up of steam in the smaller sized bathrooms. Also, this model of ceiling fan is available with the higher CFM limits, which includes 80, 110 and 150.

Use this ceiling fan in the smaller bathrooms with a size in the region of 60 square feet.

Conclusion

The installation is fairly easy for the avid do-it-yourself enthusiast; there is no need use an electrician to complete the set up. For the price of this bathroom fan it is surprisingly quiet, but there is still the option to get the much quieter unit if you are willing to invest a little extra. The styling of this fan is pretty typical to other choices in the market. However, it is finished in brilliant white, which make to easy to go with most decorating styles.
