Yes, vintage-style ceiling/wall exhaust fans are still available. We installed this model above our kitchen stove, in exactly the same spot we tore out an old, plastic one. The finish is a brushed stainless-style — and it looks fantastic!
There are enough CFM’s (exhaust of air) to meet current code in our state - so we didn’t need a range hood, which would have looked out of sorts. Also - this exhaust fan was much less expensive than a range hood! Great find!
Also - I’ve seen these installed in the wall, where they can look great. And, they can be installed in bathrooms, but not above the tub/shower, the instructions say.
[...] Nutone range top hood like this one - nice, and 42″ wide, like most vintage stoves - or, this new Nutone ceiling fan, still available in a retro look. Happy [...]
If you’re going for the exhaust fan, better start looking now. The latest revision uses a plastic grille. The good news? The stainless grilles (both the “round” and “round in a square” covers) still bolt into place if you have one (or can find one separately).
I need a pull chain for mine. Circa late 40’s early 50’s. Nutone through wall exhaust fan
