Best extractor fan for a damp bathroom

Manrose is on the cheaper side of things but is still recognised as a decent brand. I would be inclined to assess how your fan ducting has been installed to ensure that it is correctly done. Incorrect installation of the ducting can have a big effect on the performance of the effective rate of extraction on any fan that is in place. Vent Axia are a premium brand synonymous with quality. Airflow brand is also very good and all their fans exceed the minimum ventilation rates that are specified in Part F of the building regulations. For a bathroom the minimum requirement is 15 l/sec (54 m3/hr). So ensure any fan you buy exceeds this ventilation rate.

I think you should be looking at whats causing the damp and address that first. I prefer fitting the Vent Axia Lo-Carbon range, they continuously run and will boost via a switch or humidistat. Loads of options out there.

hi jo you need to buy a inline extractor fan, you need to look at the amount of extraction they do. look at screwfix website that will give you a idea. regards jeh

Ideally the best sort of fan would be an inline fan that sits in the roof space. If this is not possible then a Vent Axia centrifugal fan such as the Solo T (which has two speed options and the ability to run on trickle aswell) is well worth considering. http://www.screwfix.com/p/vent-axia-solo-23w-centrifugal-bathroom-extractor-fan-with-humidistat-timer/81214

Hi, you can now buy fans that run constant, but really quiet and low powered but they definitely do the job. Hope this helps Peter chamera
