We're having your main bedroom fan in our living/ meals. It likes great, we bought it without seeing it and very pleased with how it looks.

Yes it's a great looking fan and performs well in the Choice tests. Will be good to turn it on in a few weeks and see how it performs. Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 1872Oct 26, 2015 6:31 pm Are you putting A/C in Trixee or just using the fans? I guess because your house is an eco home you have positioned it such that you won't need A/C?

We'll live with it for a year and see how we go! Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 1874Oct 26, 2015 6:36 pm Funny you say that Trixee, that's how I picked the fan in the end based on choice tests! Is it the antique bronze?

Yes it's the antique bronze. Had a look at the other colours but didn't like them as much.

Oh and apparently I got the ceiling height in the entry wrong. It's actually about 37 course. The bulkhead is at 34 course and then we raised the middle bit about 30cm. Re: Trixee's Passive Solar Build Perth 1878Oct 26, 2015 7:25 pm Black fan is a good choice, I think bamboo would be out of place.
