Extractor fan

[StevieTee]

Lads,

Looking for a good powerful extractor fan for the toilet. Been looking on a few websites and to be honest, with the ones I've currently seen I would be better off getting the people to just blow the steam out the toilet themselves...

Anyone know anywhere good to buy one?

cheers,
Stevie

I'd suggest a change in diet if you have steam coming out your toilet.

Steam? You talking about a bathroom or a single WC? Regs suggest (dictate on a new build) 15l/s for a bathroom, 6l/s for a WC.

Generally speaking, all 4" extractors are way more than that, but they're all pants in practice. A lot can be influenced as well by how well they are installed, too.

have a look if you can fit inline fan up somewhere, with some proper ducting installed. they do make a difference compared to cheap wall fitted ones.

It's for a bathroom and another for a en-suite in a house. The ones that are in the now are totally mince.

Main in toilet is straight through the outside wall and the en-suite has to go up through the loft then outside. Looking for something more powerful to do the job.

Vent Axia in-line fan. Not cheap, and worthless if you don't install it to the letter of instructions, but probably best of the bunch in 100mm.

In-line Mixed Flow Fans ACM (100mm - 315mm) - Vent-Axia

Don't forget that you need a supply of 'fresh air' as well, it's no good just bunging a fan on a wall and expecting it to draw out the fumes of a decent ruby.

Cutting a small strip off the bottom of the door would certainly help!

I was thinking of telling them to just open the door, but what do I know.......

Anyways, thanks. Will have a look at those types.

Installed a few of these Vortice Lineo Inline Fans - 100, 125, 150, 200, 250, 315 T VO
100mm inline Vortice Lineo w/timer, Denmans do these
or you could try the centrifugal type, found these to be pretty effective if a little noisy Xpelair DX200T Premier Fan - 91014AW

I f its straight through the wall an axial fan.if there is length on the extraction duct then you need a centrifugal fan
In the end.especially with fans,you get what you pay for
A bog standard axial toilet fan will give bog standard performance and cost anything up to 20 quid

A decent make and one that will perform will cost at least 4 times that amount.it depends on how much value is put on the ventilation to determine how good the extraction will be

High pressure inline fan in the loft, Icon 15 or 30 in the cloakroom

Vortice inline fans are very good.. Installed a few.. 125mm 150mm sound like a jet when they start up..
