Kitchen Wall Fan in Pakistan: Bracket and Oscillating Wall Fans That Move Air, Sizes, Grease-Proof Guards, Mounting Height and Rates
A kitchen wall fan is a bracket fan fixed high on a wall to circulate air in a hot kitchen, and it is different from an exhaust fan, which removes air. It cools the cook by moving air across them, which helps on a hot day, but it does not take smoke or smell out of the room. This page explains where a wall fan helps, sizes, guards, mounting height, indicative rates and safe fitting. Pair it with an exhaust fan where smoke must leave. See also kitchen ventilation.
What a wall fan does
A bracket or wall fan sits high on a wall and swings from side to side. It moves air across the cook and across the room, which lowers the felt temperature and keeps air from stagnating. It does not remove heat, steam, smoke or smell. Think of it as comfort, with an exhaust fan as extraction.

Sizes
A 12 inch fan suits a small kitchen, a 16 inch fan an average kitchen and an 18 inch fan a large one. A larger fan moves more air at a lower speed, which is quieter and gentler. Ensure the swing does not hit the wall or cabinets.
Grease and guards
Kitchen air carries oil droplets that coat blades. Choose a fan with a guard that opens easily for cleaning, plastic or coated metal blades and smooth surfaces. Avoid fans with deep crevices. Clean monthly with warm soapy water, and keep the fan away from the stove flame and direct oil splash.
Mounting height and position
Fix it about 7 feet above the floor, high enough to avoid splashes and heads, and angled slightly down. Place it so the breeze crosses the cook and does not blow out a gas flame. Use a strong wall bracket and wall plugs suited to tile or brick. See ceiling fan length for clearance ideas.
Wall fan or ceiling fan
A small ceiling fan, as in small ceiling fans, gives even air without floor or wall clutter. A wall fan is easier to fit in a flat with a low or false ceiling. Use whichever fits your layout, and add an exhaust fan for extraction.
Wiring and safety
Fixed wiring should be done by a licensed electrician. Fit the plug point or switch out of reach of splashes and steam, use a protected circuit with an RCCB and keep the cord tidy and away from the stove.
What to check before buying
- Size and swing. Check wall clearance.
- Guard. Easy to remove and clean.
- Cord length. Reaches the socket safely.
- Watts. Compare similar fans.
- Warranty. Ask for it in writing.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. A wall fan moves air around the room and cools the cook, while an exhaust fan removes air, heat, steam and smell to the outside. A kitchen often benefits from both. Ask for the specification in writing so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
