shower fan/light

[terence7556]

any advice on selection of a fan/showerlight for directly above a shower? in the screwfix catalogue they offer makes by xpelair,vent axia and manrose.
i.m confused by the extraction rate, and noise levels required. also is a humidistat a good or bad option.
my son has a fan and complains about the time it runs for, about 15 minutes.
my fan is for a new ensuite ,probably with the motor in the loft area above with a two metre run to an outside cavity or a possible second option is wall mounted on this outside wall. the room is 2.7mts x 1.6mts .
thanks in advance

Hi Terence,

I recently fitted an extraction fan bought from Screwfix, Vent Axia (28935-90) Luminair with Overrun Timer. It has been in since June of this year and so far has been excellent, however we still have the winter to come.

The light on the fan is ideal above the shower tray but you will require more lighting for the bathroom area, the noise level is acceptable and the overrun time can be adjusted to suit yourself.

I can only give you my opinion of an Item that cost me over a �100, I am more than pleased with it and in the new year I am having to instal another one in a second shower room.

vent axia are a very good make but manrose are just that little better a humiidistat is a must have option really or you could get one with a timer overrun which you can adjust.

But make sure that it is a selv one, safety extra low voltage ie 12 volts

Sorry have just seen that you might put the motor in the loft if so you dont need a selv one but if it is put in the shower room then it has to be
