Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Ceiling Exhaust Fan 250mm | White
The Clipsal Airflow CE250N is a ceiling-mounted exhaust fan rated 240V 50Hz, delivering 385m³/h airflow to effectively remove moisture and odours from bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries. The CE250N is supplied with a flexible cord and 3-pin plug, and fits a 287mm ceiling cut-out. It features a heavy-duty ball-bearing motor and comes complete, ready to install.
Moisture control is a critical issue in Australian bathrooms. Steam and humidity from showers can damage plasterboard, promote mould growth on walls and fittings, and create uncomfortable conditions in enclosed spaces. A properly sized exhaust fan installed as a direct ceiling replacement tackles the problem at the source, pulling damp air out before condensation settles. The CE250N's 385m³/h airflow works quickly and handles the high-moisture periods after bathing when demand is heaviest. Tradies routinely specify this model for replacement installations and new builds where moisture management is non-negotiable.
Licensed electricians choose the CE250N for its direct fit with standard 287mm ceiling cut-outs and fast sliding clamp mounting system — no fumbling with multiple bolts, just lock into position in seconds. Time savings add up on volume jobs. The removable, dishwasher-safe grille cuts maintenance time; customers unclip it, wash it, and reinstall. The quiet motor and low vibration protect the installer's reputation and prevent unhappy-customer callbacks.
