wooden door vent

[gregd72002]

Hi,

I would need some advice on what vent to use and how to install it..

Basically, I need a vent in my bathroom door so my bathroom fan can draw air from outside the bathroom...

Knowing that the door are 35mm wood doors, what vent can I use? What size should it be?

I was wondering of getting these vents: http://www.gu3supplies.co.uk/70mm-circular-vent.html

Though, do you think I can install them in a wooden door? How many of them do I need?

gap under the door is what you want.

isn't there one?

Not really.. my hall has higher floor than my bathroom so when bathroom door are closed there actually actually leave no space between the door and the hall floor so no space at all...

pretty much sealed

Maybe a brass louvre vent is what you need - obviously you'll need one on both sides of the door (Screwfix 96148).
Won't be particularly pretty though but may be acceptable.

thanks Burnerman... yeah, it will not be particularly pretty and therefore I was rather thinking of 2 or 3 holes with this inside:

Any opinions?

Yes just trim 10mm off the bottom of the door, no need for a vent at all.

freddymercurystwin, trim? This sounds like hard work... Actually I trimmed the door already to fit the door frames with a plane.. took me half a day.. I do not fancy doing it again.

Drilling two or three holes of 70mm sound to me like much better/easier option..

What's wrong with the vents I suggested?

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Nothing if you like the idea of a couple of attractive vents or can't be bothered.

These vents look like they are an interference fit?
In which case you'll need the exact size holesaw, and of course a ventilator on each side of the door.

[gregd72002]

why do you need 2 ventilators?

I do have exact holesaw and yeah, they look like interference fit ones.. I do not have problem with this

I think my one is big enough to get the air moving throughout the whole bathroom
