Draft from Extractor fan
Hi all,
This summer I installed a batroom extractor fan to reduce the condensation when showering, etc - particularly in winter. It's one of thos B&Q / Greenwood kits, ie through the ceiling to loft, flexible pipe, out through soffit board under the eaves. It was only £23 as I bought the version without "run-on" and operate it simply from the bathroom light. It seems to be doing a good job, but during the recent windy weather particularly, I feel quite a draft entering the bathroom. I think this will lead to significant heat loss and a less than hot bathroom which I like. Does anyone know if there is a "louvre" end cover that I can buy on its own and ideally has the same 5" hole and screw footprint as the B&Q/Greenwood. Will the fan be powerfull enough to suck open the louvres if installed at bathroom end, or blow them open if installed outside under soffit ? Which end is preferred ? Thanks. David |
