I have a customer who is requesting that the bath fans be extremely quiet. I generally use Broan QT series which operates at 1.5 sones.
Customer has heard these operate and wants a considerably quieter unit.
I am looking into the Panasonic line which says they operate at .3 sones.
In looking at the mounting, it appears the flange of the housing attaches directly to the bottom of the I joist. That does not allow for the conventional (Broan at least) 5/8" portion that hangs down allowing a flush surface when drywall is installed.
Seems odd that the housing would set up into the ceiling 5/8".
Has anyone here used Panasonic? If so, any feed back would be appreciated.
Always leary about using a new product, especially something that can't be easily replaced if it does not perform well.
Thanks
