Bathroom extractor fan
Discussion
Hi
I built my own house around five years ago and at the time I didn't spend much time on the extraction fan setup in the downstairs bathroom/shower room. It currently has a 4" inline fan which isn't particularly powerful, which combined with a longish run of flexible pipe means it's not very effective. The room is 1.8m x 1.9m (x2.4m) but the shower is particularly powerful and consequently creates a lot of steam.
I'm thinking of replacing it with a more powerful fan - http://www.extractorfanworld.co.uk/airflow-icon-30... with a shorter duct and a humidity sensor and timer.
I just wondered if anybody has any experience of shower room fans and can advise/comment?
Cheers
Tim

I ended up going for the Airflow Icon 30 which I would highly recommend - it's incredibly powerful compared to the previous fan, especially now that I have shortened the run and used semi-rigid aluminium ducting. I went for the timer module but on reflection perhaps should have gone for the humidity sensor.
