Shower/Bathroom Ventilation

[nick]

Dear plumbpages user,

I've recently bought a 2 bed flat in the basement of a large Victorian house. I'm currently renovating my bathroom and adding a built in shower.

I would like to provide ventilation in both the [u]bathroom[/u] and [u]shower[/u] cubicle to extract condensation, my problem is that the bathroom is in the centre of the property with no immediate outside walls for ventilation.

Being a basement, my floor is concrete and my neighbours flat is directly above.

Please could anyone advise what my options are? I must install some form of moisture extraction otherwise the room will rot.

Thanks is advance,

Is the shower cubicle in the bathroom or is it separate?

To ventilate the cubicle separately with it being in the centre of the property, I would suggest the a centrifugal fan, such as the Premier DX200 that was mentioned in a separate thread, together with flexible ducting or, if space is tight, flat ducting.

Darren,

Thanks for your response, to answer your question, my shower is indeed a cubicle within my bathroom. Narrow ducting will be essential (space is at a premium), I will take a look at the fan you suggested. I suspect I will need around 8 meters of ducting though.
Is this my only option? I was wondering if there might be an electrical unit on the market which circulates/dehumidifies air without the need for outdoor connectivity?

Many thanks,
