The torsion springs grille mounting allows for a quick and easy installation without any tools required.

Furthermore, the white polymeric grille is paintable, enabling you to seamlessly integrate the fan with your existing decor and wall color. From eliminating humidity, tobacco smoke, and cooking odors, to continually cycling the air in enclosed spaces, the Broan's Duct-Free Ventilation Fan is a versatile and practical solution for your home.

The story of Broan-NuTone LLC begins during the Great Depression, when two ambitious young men emerged with innovative products that would significantly contribute to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured the Motordor Fan, a quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation system that launched the company. Four years later, J. Ralph Corbett introduced a melodious door chime, replacing the obnoxious door buzzer, and founded NuTone, Inc.

Both companies, headquartered in the Midwest, started with a simple product and a few employees. As they expanded, they created revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. The two companies quickly became global competitors, continuing to offer innovative and superior products to meet the evolving needs of consumers.

In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was renamed the Broan Group. During this period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. In January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC, with NuTone Inc., Aubrey Manufacturing, Inc. and Rangaire LP as subsidiaries.

Today, Broan-NuTone LLC is headquartered in Hartford, Wisconsin, and employs more than 3,200 people across eight countries on three continents. It is North America's largest producer of residential ventilation products, such as range hoods, ventilation fans, and indoor air quality products. The company also holds major market positions in chimes, central vacuums, intercom systems, medicine cabinets, built-in electric heaters, whole-house fans, attic ventilators, paddle fans, ironing centers, trash compactors, and speakers.
