Ask your QuestionWhat does an extractor fan rate mean and how can I tell what applies for any given fan?
Asked by Patrick on 10th May 2022"The extraction rate refers to the amount of air that the extractor will remove, this is usually measured in cubic metres per hour. As a rule of thumb the bigger that number is the better the extractor is. Something else to consider is the noise levels, the lower the dB is the quieter it will be."
