Quick Answer

KDK dominates Singapore bathroom ventilation because its motors last 8–12 years in tropical humidity. For a standard HDB toilet the 20WHCT ceiling model is the default; larger or master bathrooms need the 24CDHR or an inline unit, and humidistat models suit bathrooms used by several people. Choose by CFM against your floor area — the wrong model in the wrong bathroom is the main cause of recurring ceiling mould. Installation is from S$380 all-in.

KDK 20WHCT — the default HDB toilet fan
200mm sail, ~93 m³/h. Fits most HDB toilet cut-outs. Quiet (~32 dB), 5-year motor. Best for 3–4 m² HDB toilets.
KDK 24CDHR — larger master-bath ceiling fan
240mm sail, ~135 m³/h. Upgrade when 20WHCT keeps steam on ceiling >15 min after hot shower.
KDK 15WUA / 15WAA — window / wall mount fans
150mm blade, ~180 m³/h. Used when no ceiling duct (older shophouses).
KDK 25TGQ / 32CHH — inline / cabinet ceiling fans
Silent inline, ~200 m³/h, ~28 dB. Gold standard for master en-suites.
KDK 30AUH — kitchen / heavy duty ceiling fan
Bigger blade, higher static pressure. Only if a pro confirms 20WHCT can't cope.
KDK 24JBAR — with humidistat + timer
Same body as 24CDHR + built-in humidistat and 30-min run-on. Set-and-forget pick.
The sizing rule
Floor area (m²) × 25 = min airflow (m³/h). 4 m² HDB toilet → 100 m³/h.
