Bathroom Fans

[jamesbates87]

Hi,

Hoping someone could give me a bit of advise on the below.

I have a two bedroom terrace house, that has a bathroom on the top floor in the middle of the two bedrooms. At current I have a bathroom fan located in there that works off the light and stays on around five minutes after the light is switched off. The problem that I'm having is that it is doing enough, as when I'm having a shower the bathroom is very damp, along with the other two bedrooms upstairs. The bathroom fan is very new and got fitted in January 2012.

I believe that the problem is that the ducting that was put in, is far to long for the fan power. The ducting goes from the fan towards the back of the house. Traveling around 5 - 7 meters.

What I was looking at was, buying a "In-Line" fan and placing this half way between the ducting to help with the flow of air. Would this would a good thing?

The only other thing would be to buy another fan and place it into the bathoom then join them both up and a "In-Line" fan that helps both of them.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

Jimmy

I use a 6inch in line fan attached to two 4inch inlets, works very well.

Thanks

Yes, important thing is the rate the fan works at, some of the cheapies are feeble.
