There is no room in the average household where it is more important to install a Highly Efficient Variable Inline Fan 12″ than the bathroom. Preventing condensation build up, damp, mold and odor, a simple 4″ to 20″ model will help to keep your bathroom beautiful! The choice of bathroom extractor fan has never been greater, including those with timers, those with PIRs, those with humidistats, low voltage fans, low energy fans, slimline fans, and inline fans. This huge choice of extractor fan can be bewildering. The following article is intended as a guide to help the domestic buyer choose the right bathroom fan.

1. Sizes of bathroom fans

Domestic bathroom Ultra Quiet Inline Duct Fan 12″come in different sizes: 4 inches/100mm and 6 inches/ 150mm. 12-inch fans need only be considered in bathrooms greater than three meters squared, or where special circumstances require a more powerful fan, such as bathrooms with no natural ventilation or particularly cold, north facing bathrooms.

2. Air Extraction Rate

Measured in 'Litres per Second' (L/s) or 'Metres Cubed per Hour' (m3/hr), the air extraction rate of a bathroom extractor fan is one of the most important considerations. The Building Regulations stipulate that a bathroom extractor fan must extract at least 15L/s in a standard domestic bathroom. Most Ultra Quiet Inline Duct Fan 12″ bathroom extractor fans far exceed this minimum requirement, and nowadays the standard is 203 to 2000 CFM.

3. Operation

Bathroom Ultra Quiet Inline Duct Fans have a range of operational features to suit different applications. The most simple is on/off via the bathroom light switch or integral pullcord. Bathroom fans with integral timers are great in bathrooms where large build ups of steam cause condensation problems, as the overrun timer, will keep the fan running for a specific period once it has been turned off....particularly useful if the fan is wired into the lighting circuit. Parents may prefer a bathroom Ultra Quiet Inline Duct Fan 12″with a variable which will operate the fan automatically when anybody enters the bathroom, whilst Landlords like those with humidity sensors, which switch on automatically when the relative humidity reaches a set level.

4. Noise

Whilst Ultra Quiet Inline Duct Fan 12″are quiet, it should be remembered that they are housed in the loft space and so are insulated and further away, lessening the volume somewhat.

Just remember these above-noted points to make your bathroom the best place in your house. The bathroom is the only place where you get your own time and don’t just sweat and come out. Be cool with Highly Efficient Variable Inline 12″ Fans.
