hi.
i am presently redoing my bathroom and want to fit an extract fan. because it is a downstairs bathroom we tend to get a nice lot of condensation build up which means we have to leave the window open a lot after people use the electric shower.
The external wall already has the old type air vent installed above the bath at approx 2.1m from floor to center of vent which puts it just inside Zone 1
The bath has been Re-installed with both electric shower and taps located on the opposite wall to the vent.
The size and layout of the bathroom does not allow me to fit an extract fan anywhere else in the room and because it is also a downstairs bathroom i can not fit a ceiling mounted fan either.
what i wanted to do was replace the old air vent location with an extract fan, i was looking at something like-
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/35139/Heating-and-Ventilation/Extractor-Fans/Low-Profile-Extractor-Fan
although this is rated at IP24, what i am not sure about is the fact that the existing Vent location will put the new fan center just inside the Zone 1 reg of 2.25m.
Because i have re installed the bath with all taps and shower fittings on the opposite side (mainly because i knew i would be fitting some sort of extract fan), can i replace the old air vent with this fan or similar low profile type?
any help is appreciated. thanks.
