hen installing a bathroom, no one wants to spend thousands of
pounds on a beautiful design for it to be ruined by an inadequately functioning extractor. Often an afterthought for the homeowner, proper ventilation and condensation management should be central to a bathroom’s design and be a top priority to ensure the durability of the space.

fan ineffective in reducing condensation. This is why when sourcing the right extractor, it is important to consider a number of factors to ensure that the system can successfully remove humidity from the room. As the shower is one of the primary sources of condensation, a fan situated above can often be the most effective. Thoughtfully located ventilation with integrated lighting and run on timers can also be a benefit, as it not only offers maximum efficiency, it also provides better illumination.
For larger bathrooms and wet rooms with
higher moisture levels, homeowners should consider using an inline extractor to eliminate the damp, as they’re more powerful and are housed neatly away in the ceiling. Alternatively, for smaller bathrooms and ensuites, a good quality wall fan can work wonders. No matter what the bathroom size, the use of run on timers and humidistats should also be considered as it allows the continued extraction of condensation after the user has left the space. Many extractors are now designed to be
discreet which makes all the difference to the overall experience. The market for aesthetically- pleasing, quiet extractors has grown and the requirement for stylish finishes such as matt silver, chrome and white, with varying power levels has become ever more part of the overall planning process and will allow homeowners to enjoy their bathroom for years to come.
HiB’s Cyclone is a must-have for effective bathroom ventilation W
hen planning a bathroom design, proper ventilation should be one
of the first considerations. For many homeowners, installing a new bathroom is a substantial investment and therefore every effort must be made to ensure that the standard of finish lasts for years to come. Persistent moisture formed during day-to-day
bathroom activities can, when left unmanaged, cause structural issues over time. By installing a quality ventilation system, such as HiB’s Cyclone, homeowners can guarantee that their new bathroom will remain free from unsightly mould and damp.
