Shower extractor fan with light
Hi,
B&Q, Wickes etc sell not to pretty looking shower fan/lights. They all about £40 mark. Vent Axia does one for about £100. It looks better but is it really 100% better? Could you recommend other manufacturers or are they all this same? Thanks Rafal |

I had a cheap one in my cloakroom that came with the house and lasted three years or so. This was replaced with a DIY store one that also lasted three years. I now have a Vent Axia that has been there for ten years and is still going well and running quietly. The failure mode on the cheap ones seems to be bearing wear which causes them to become noisy. ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

strung together this: Hi, B&Q, Wickes etc sell not to pretty looking shower fan/lights. They all about £40 mark. Vent Axia does one for about £100. It looks better but is it really 100% better? Could you recommend other manufacturers or are they all this same? I have always fitted the Vent Axia Luminairs, I haven't had one fail since the first one went in a few years ago. They're worth paying the extra for, I've had many of the cheap fans failing prematurely, and the Vent Axia fans are a lot quiter. -- SJW A.C.S. Ltd. |
