Bathrooms and kitchens are damp rooms by definition, so providing proper ventilation is imperative, both for the occupant's health and for the bathroom itself. Extractor fans renew the ambient air in a room, which limits the emergence of any condensation and the appearance of mould all the while reducing the humidity level.

Our team of experts has put together a comprehensive list of axial, inline, continuous, and centrifugal extract fans to help you find the best fan for your needs.Extractor fans by design eliminate excess moisture in the air which in turn removes condensation keeping your home well ventilated. High power inline fans work hard at eliminating this moisture and keeping your home condensation free. You could easily spend a whole lot more on a kitchen extractor fan that won’t perform any better than this model. As long as you’re prepared to put up with the noise, the Zanussi ZHC62352X comes highly recommended. Extractor fans are a functional and practical solution for controlling excess humidity, smoke, heat removal or unwanted odours. Fans for bathrooms are generally smaller than those used in kitchens but do come with a timer for more efficient use. Would you prefer a different version of the bathroom extractor fan? You can also opt for our standard or luxury bathroom extractor fan. If you haven't considered a ceiling fan before, the near silent gentle breeze provided, is enough to cool in all but the hottest of conditions. A ceiling fan is able to perform much more efficiently than a noisy traditional cooling fan, and removes the need for placing on the floor or side table.

Key Specs – Type: Extraction and recirculation; Canopy size: 60cm; Extraction rate: 368m³/h; Noise level: 47dB During a free home survey your local expert will assess any condensation, damp, and mould problems that you may be facing in your property and take readings of the relative humidity levels throughout the property. What size extractor fan for a bathroom?Extractor fans come in different sizes. For example, you may see the size of the impeller being referred to. The impeller is the revolving part inside the fan that moves the air stream. Impellers usually come in two sizes; 100mm or 150mm. 100mm (4 inch) fans will be suitable for most domestic bathrooms, although a larger 150mm (6 inch) fan would be needed for a larger room and are even suitable for kitchens.If you would rather go down the simple route and avoid having holes drilled into the wall, perhaps consider a recirculating model like this fine canopy example from the house of Bosch. The Serie 2 simply mounts to the wall above any 60cm hob (cooker style or integrated) and recirculates cooking vapour through its charcoal filter at a rate of up to 350m³/h. You can rarely go wrong with a Bosch and this one’s a case in point. It performs the task of expelling air without sounding like an aircraft, and it looks extremely elegant while doing so. It’s easy to work this out yourself. Simply multiply your kitchen’s width, length and height in metres to get your kitchen’s volume in m³, and then multiply the result by ten. Make sure that whichever hood you choose has a flow rate that matches or is above that figure, as that will allow the hood to filter all the air in your kitchen at least ten times per hour. With the models here ranging from around 350m³/h up to 500m³/h, you will find something to suit all but the very biggest of kitchens. Anything else I should be aware of? Do you need an extractor fan?Every bathroom needs some form of ventilation - either a window or an extractor fan. This is especially the case for new build properties, as they generally have a much lower level of natural ventilation. Beyond fulfilling the requirements of building regulations, bathroom ceiling extractor fans have numerous other benefits. This includes reducing the amount of condensation that can build up due to steam from showering, preventing mould and generally extending the life of your bathroom. We know that no two properties are the same which is why it is important to ensure the right product is specified and installed correctly. This is why we offer a free home survey as standard to ensure the correct product is installed and you have the best extractor fan.
