Hi!
In desperate need of an extractor fan for our bathroom and would hugely appreciate some advice in which one to get and where best to position it for maximum efficiency.
As the walls by the shower are all tilled I thought maybe mounting in the ceiling, directly above the shower and ducting into the attic above and out the wall – but am I losing efficiency by skirting the hassle of mounting on the wall? If I went into the attic would I have to use a centrifugal fan because of the length of ducting (2 or 3m)?
As I said, im just after efficiency so any advice on the below would be most appreciated…
Mount on the wall/ceiling/window ?
Which wall/where on ceiling ?
Type of fan - Axial/centrifugal/ones that mount in the ceiling but the fan sits in the attic (I guess these would be quieter?)
Direct links to any suggestions would be great, iv mainly been looking at Vent-Axia and Xpelair. Not fussed about humidity sensors id rather just control manually. Id rather pay a little bit more and know it’s going to do good job (£100 - £150) than waste money getting the electrician to fit a useless fan !
Thank you in advance !
