Hi foxhole, There is no shutter. But its a continuous volume fan that remains on all the time (wish I had known this before electrian fixed it) the fan has humidistat built in as well? Even the duct cover has only got the open grills and not the shutter that closes down.

I have a ducting pipe connects to an exhaust fan that goes all the way touching air bricks to let the steam out of the shower. Would I need to remove the air bricks and put a duct grill or air bricks would do the job? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
