About the Tesla WF100 Exhaust Fan

The Tesla WF100 is a compact 100mm exhaust fan designed for the wet area ventilation requirements found in Australian residential and commercial buildings — bathrooms, toilets, ensuites, and laundries where moisture, odour, and stale air need to be extracted efficiently and quietly. The ball bearing motor is the key specification that distinguishes the WF100 from lower-cost alternatives — ball bearing motors run more quietly, generate less heat, and last significantly longer than sleeve bearing motors, making them the preferred choice for continuous-duty applications where the fan runs frequently or for extended periods.

The integral back draft shutter closes automatically when the fan is not running, preventing cold drafts, insects, and external air from entering through the duct when the fan is switched off. This is an important feature in bathroom and toilet installations where the duct path can otherwise act as a conduit for cold air, particularly in cooler climates or where the duct run terminates at an exposed external wall.

The slimline design minimises the fan's protrusion from the wall or ceiling surface, keeping the installation neat and unobtrusive. The Ø100mm installation hole suits standard 100mm circular cutouts in walls, windows, and ceiling surfaces — the most common fan cutout size in Australian residential wet area installations. The WF100 is the 100mm version in the Tesla WF range. The WF125 (125mm, 180 m³/h) and WF150 (150mm, 220 m³/h) are available for larger spaces requiring higher airflow rates.

Q: What is the benefit of a ball bearing motor over a sleeve bearing motor?
A: Ball bearing motors use rolling element bearings rather than plain sleeve bearings, resulting in lower friction, quieter operation, lower operating temperature, and significantly longer service life — particularly in applications where the fan runs frequently or for extended periods. Ball bearing fans are the preferred choice for bathroom, toilet, and laundry exhaust applications where reliability and quiet operation are priorities.

Q: Can the WF100 be mounted on the ceiling as well as the wall?
A: Yes — the Tesla WF100 can be mounted on walls, windows, and ceilings. The slimline design and Ø100mm installation hole suit all three mounting surfaces.

Q: What size duct does the WF100 require?
A: The WF100 has a 100mm fan diameter and requires a Ø100mm installation hole. Standard 100mm flexible or rigid ducting is used with this fan size for the duct run to the external termination point.
