Kitchen & Bathroom Fans

Hobby rooms, cellars, and workshops are also ideal locations for compact ventilation fans. Many common pastimes and work activities such as painting, woodworking, and car repair create fumes as a natural part of the process. Add to this fumes from cleaning supplies and a room’s poor air circulation has the potential for creating significant health and safety risks. The installation of a ventilation fan can help regulate the temperature in the room whist removing harmful fumes and annoying odours from the area. This can help keep your work or hobby space fresh, clean, comfortable, and ready for your safe continued use.

Any room that hosts someone who smokes tobacco is probably a good location for adding a ventilation fan. Unlike desk and pedestal fans that do a great job moving air around the room for adding comfort and temperature control, our bathroom, wall, and window fans are designed to move air from inside the room to the outdoors. This can help keep the air in the room fresher whist removing smoke and other odours from the room before they can permeate the room’s furnishings and décor. Help keep the occupants of your home or business comfortable by removing annoying smoke from the air with one of our efficient small room fans.

Continued high humidity levels, particularly when combined with fairly warm temperatures, can provide ideal conditions for the growth of mould and mildew. Mould can develop in clothes, curtains, and other fabrics. Paper products can be particularly susceptible to mould and mildew but walls, wood, grout, and other areas within the room can develop mould growth. Once mould has become established, it can be difficult to treat and remove. Mould can reach well inside porous materials like fabric, wood, and drywall. These means a surface cleaning will typically not be adequate to remove mould once it has become established. As mould grows it releases mould spores that help spread the mould infestation into other areas of the room or building. For many people, spores produced by mould cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory complaints and possible other serious health issues for both humans and pets. This can make preventing and eliminating mould a priority.

Adding Ventilation in Windowless Rooms

In order to provide relief in damp locations without windows such as bathrooms and guest WCs, we offer modern fans that can be used as dedicated exhaust systems. These types of fans are both affordable and easy to install. Some models are designed to be soundproof so that adjoining rooms and apartments are not disturbed by the operating noise.
To balance pressure in the room it is vital to ensure a corresponding amount of supply air. Depending on the size of the room, it may be unnecessary to install an additional air supply system or other openings to the room. In smaller bathrooms, particularly in older buildings, there may be adequate air supply thanks to less than air tight seals in the room’s construction. Another option is to bring air in from adjoining rooms or the corridor using an overflow valve. Existing pipes and ducts can be used as easy and low-priced installation locations for added ventilation systems. This can ensure controlled, continuous air circulation, while incoming air is filtered for allergens, dust, and contaminants. Modern, efficient air filters can even prevent germs and bacteria from entering your home or business. Air filtration can be highly beneficial for people with allergies and anyone with a weakened immune system. These types of systems can be particularly important in public areas like WCs in medical offices and hospitals.

Fan Accessories, Care & Maintenance

When purchasing and installing your fan, please keep in mind that fans for small rooms must installed to allow adequate air supply. The fan intake area must not be covered by objects that interfere with the air flow. For example, do not place potted plants in front of window fans to screen them from view. Usually, sensors that automatically determine the required amount of air should only be deactivated except during maintenance.

Each fan comes with an instruction manual with more information. On the outside a grid prevents objects, such as insects and leaves, from being blown inside the fan by the wind. The practical seal also transports condensation water away to the exterior wall of the house. Easy-care housings made of special synthetic material are designed to prevent yellowing. A wet sponge can be used to wipe away dust, water spots, and other debris from the fan. On the inside of the air supply regulator unit of the fan, a dust filter absorbs even smaller contamination. Regular replacement or cleaning of the filters, in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, ensures a constant supply of good breathing air.
