Hello people,
Need some help on shower room extractors. I have an ensuite room (6"x6") with no windows. It also has a very low ceiling hence there is lots of condensation build up and mould forming on the ceiling. There is a 100mm fan in there at the moment with approx 2.5m ducting to an outside vent.
Can anyone recommend a more powerful fan (not in-line fan as the floorboard/ceiling is too low)?
I really need some BIG sucking action, please help.

| Ask any manufacturer - you need a centrifugal one rather than axial for pumping down a duct. |

I reckon an easy way to fix it, is to have two fans-one that should be right above the shower(12 v) and then you could even join the ducting in a Y joint to make sure it won't cancel each other out.
Also , have a look at the ceiling, is it foil backed plasterboard or acrylic paint? Having a bigger fan it won't look good.

no matter how much suction you put into this room i don't think it will solve the problem.
think about getting some air into the room before you try to suck more out.
maybe another vent to allow fresh air in, and then think about more extraction.
if possible at the opposite end of the room to give circulation |

Ginger has understood the problem.
You might find that two fans one blowing in and the other sucking out.
Fans are more efficient when they blow!
