Hi, hoping this has probably been done many times and someone will have
a quick answer

I am just finishing off an extension which has left me with a
bathroom in the middle of the house with no external walls, so no
windows.

Can anyone suggest an extractor fan that would be suitable and upto the
job
of keeping the bathroom relatively dry from the steam.

Extractor will be vented through the roof

any tangential fan designed to be used with ducting. See screwfix or
toolstation .com
4" will give you garbage flow rate, 6" has real use.

The other qestion is, are 18mm water resisitant Tongue & Cheek chipboard
panels
suitable for 1st flooring (especially in a shower room)

no way Jose. Use WBP ply

NT

Thanks for the replies

Looks like my options are either 18mm wbp plywood or aqua panels over
the top of the chipboard that
has already been laid.

BTW, is the chipboard ok for other rooms like bedrooms, or a definite
no-no and just stick to 12mm
wbp plywood for these.

Thanks
