Bathroom Extractor Fan

[agardener]

I have to fit an extractor fan in our small bathroom, the type that is fitted to a window ( wall and ceiling fittings are not an option). Anyone care to recommend one please? Also I'm getting conflicting views about a switch, again any opinions?

Hi, I'm afraid I can't help, only, do you really need one? We had a new bathroom and shower fitted. The bathroom fitter said they are a waste of time and it would be just as effective opening the window. We never had condensation problems then or now so it makes sense not to bother.

I have a bathroom with no window and an extractor fan that it operated by the light and the relative humidity. This works really well, but I have never known the window sort work well.

Whenever it has to be fitted to glass, I've usually used a standard bathroom extractor fan. The same as fitted to walls and ceilings.
It means having a double glazing unit made with a 100mm hole for the fan. Somewhere in a corner of the glass, to keep the flex as short as possible.

Something like this...

Switching is from the light switch as normal.

We used to have an Expelair in our kitchen, in a former house, and we were very pleased with it. It was easy to clean, never broke down, and was very quiet. If you can still get that brand, I think that you'll be pleased with it.
