Extractors


HiB – Silent and Stylish R


ecent years have seen the bathroom transform from a practical necessity to a place of everyday luxury, where homeowners can relax, unwind and escape their busy lifestyles. It’s therefore unsurprising that consumers are becoming more and more discerning when it comes to the finer details of creating their dream space.


With this in mind, quiet and efficient extraction power which removes any lingering steam or damp is now seen as an essential in maintaining the tranquil ambience of the room.


However, aesthetics are just as important as effectiveness, and in line with this, HiB’s latest SELV fans – Hush and Breeze – combine powerful, muted extraction with contemporary style – perfect for the modern bathroom sanctuary. Featuring sleek, minimalist design available in white or chrome with matt options, these fans provide a sophisticated ventilation solution suited to any bathroom. With the added option to mount these fans on either the ceiling or the wall, consumers have the freedom to choose what works best for their particular bathroom, without interrupting their carefully planned décor.


To ensure the bathroom remains damp-free, Hush and Breeze offer extraction rates of 86m³/hr and 77m³/hr respectively, exceeding the minimum requirement of 54m³/hr. What’s more, the fans also operate at near silent noise levels of only 25dB and 32dB, ensuring the atmosphere of the bathroom is undisturbed.


Franke extends its award-winning Maris Plus hood range


Franke has extended its award- winning Maris Plus extractor hood range with the addition of a lustrous white glass colour option in addition to the existing black glass version. The new hood is available now in three sizes of 60, 80 and 90cm to offer wide design flexibility.


The elegant hood has three speed settings and an ‘intensive’ speed setting for short, powerful bursts to remove unpleasant odours quickly and efficiently. The touch-screen ghost controls on its digital display, which are not visible when the hood is turned off, add to its smooth and streamlined aesthetics.


All Maris Plus hoods feature Franke’s ‘Greenline’ technology, with their brushless motors and LED lighting providing up to an 85% energy saving compared to a standard motor and earning them an A+ energy rating.
