Hi, any advise to a keen DIYer would be appreciated.
I have fitted a shower cubicle in the corner of my bathroom which measures approx 2.4 by 2.5m. I want to fit an extractor fan above the shower to pull the steam away during showering, the fan I was going to fit to the ceiling almost above the shower. I don't want a fan which comes on when the light is turned on, only when manually turned on when the shower is in use. I am therefore thinking about a wall plate switch to turn it on and off when needed. The switch would be located just outside the cubicle. With a 20 or 30 minute delay on the switch all that would really be needed would be a button to activate the shower then it would run until the delay runs out. Does such a switch exist for a bathroom? For the isolator I could fit it to the ceiling or can the isolator be located in the roofspace above the bathroom? Does the fan switch need to be a pull-cord or is a rated wall plate version available?
Thanks guys.
