Hi,

This is the KDK recommended installation, the link here



Your sketch shows you have
- 10cm ceiling to fan blade clearance (need another 20cm)
- 2.3m floor to fan blade clearance.. (need another 20cm)

You could probably install as your sketch but it might have problems with short circuit air flow and noise.

Is there space for a 16" dia. wall fan? It might be a better option..

I would think that 20cm would be about the minimum clearance for good installation practice. The criteria being the fan blades giving good air circulation around its working area.

Whether this is reliable, running wise i would think it would be as reliable as one with 30cm clearance all other things being equal. Meaning physically installed properly with gi wall plugs, safety wire connected and electrically wired correctly.

I've not heard of Deka Fans being more familiar with Panasonic/National/KDK but doesn't mean its bad. The catalogue shows a large range so they would have a local service centre for repairs.

Just make sure your fan comes with a Sirim quality and JBE safety sticker and fill in the warranty card.

Seriously I'd still recommend you consider a wall mounted fan. Properly positioned it should give you that cooling breeze and you can have a nice clear European style ceiling. Hang a chandelier with crystal shard lighting would be an idea..
