Best bathrrom Extractor fan

[jassdhali]

Guys,

I have a 11.6 m3 bathroom - can you suggest on your experiences best extractor fan for this room. Of course the quietest

Thanks

The best one would be a very large opening window and also possible the quietest, but that would depend on your location, considering vehicular and environmental noise and the behavior of your neighbours!

Does the bathroom have a shower?
Is the fan to be wall or ceiling mounted?
Is the a loft space or simular above?

The quietest extractors are often the ones where the impellers are in-line and can be located in a loft space as this reduces the noise within the room, these will normally be ceiling mounted and access will be required to the impeller and any electrical connections, so it would need to be accessed and confirmed what your options are.

I have a Vent Axia ACM100T, which is an in-line fan mounted in the loft. It's a very quiet fan, but overall it's not quiet - the flexible conduit I used due to space restraints (and desire to not go out through the tiles) generates a fair amount of noise.

Looking back, I'd have used rigid pipe and paid extra to get a roofer to install a tile vent. Air noise can have far more impact than the fan itself.

Thanks gents,

I have had a loft conversion so may be able to break into the ceiling for extra space but will need to establish that once I start ripping everything out. Of course will need to provide an access panel too.

Cheers

Any thoughts on the Vent Axia Lo-Carbon Centra fans? They purport to be the world's quietest!

No thoughts, but a question - what on earth is "Lo-Carbon" about it?

Kind Regards, John

And quite how a fan that run continuously could be classed as such!

Perhaps it contains less carbon than others.

That's certainly one possible meaning (indeed, probably the only possible meaning if it really does mean 'low carbon'!), but I'd still like an explanation!

Kind Regards, John

That's a bit dated.

It's unlike you to be so accepting of less-than-correct/precise language! "low carbon" and "low carbon emissions" are certainly not the same thing!

Brushless motor?

Or perhaps, most of the carbon it does contain is at the bottom.

I have to confess that I hadn't thought of that particular possibility
