We stock an extensive range of bathroom extractor fans from household names such as Manrose, Vent-Axia, Everything Ventilation and more.
Our experts have selected their recommendations for the best bathroom extractor fans, from basic models to more advanced options.
This understated extractor fan from respected brand Vent Axia combines efficacy and versatility for any bathroom or toilet in both domestic and commercial projects.
This extractor fan can be mounted in various ways, including on walls, panelling and even windows and can be operated either via a remote or a light switch.
An IP44 rating ensures that the fan is equipped to deal with the moist and humid conditions that are commonplace in bathrooms.
Moving on to a slightly more advanced model, this extractor fan is perfectly suited for both bathrooms and kitchens, thanks to its zone 3 IPX2 rating.
Designed to be installed in either ceilings or walls, the sleek and unobtrusive design of this extractor fan ensures that it does not interfere with the aesthetics of any space.
Better still, the 24 hour replacement warranty attached to this particular product provides you with extra peace of mind.
The fan that packs the most power of our choices, the Manrose MixFlo Bathroom Induct Fan, as the name suggests, features a mixed flow fan which is ideal for commercial applications with either rigid or flexible ducting, thanks to its increased efficiency and decreased noise.
Due to being able to withstand consistent use in large buildings, this extractor fan is equipped with a high quality motor that is built to last, warranted for a minimum of 30,000 hours.
Choosing the right fan for the right job takes more than just picking a finish - you need to think about the air extraction rate, the noise, and how much space it will take up.
The average domestic extractor fan extracts 21 litres of air per second, or 75.6 m3/hr. While this is fine for most basic shower rooms, for larger commercial units or homes with multiple occupants, you might need to consider something capable of more. You should also look to see if the fan comes with an integrated humidistat, as this could help prevent moisture build up in bathrooms that are regularly in use.
The noise extractor fans make is also important. Some older models will hum away long after the bathroom is empty, potentially keeping occupants awake at night while using excessive energy.
Newer brands are designed to only run when necessary and come with built-in noise reduction technology that prevents both internal and external sounds from becoming a problem.
Finally, check the room you’re looking to install the product in, some larger units might not be practical in tight spaces or buildings with thin walls and floors, and smaller units may not be as effective in larger rooms.
If you’re in the market for a bathroom extractor fan, look no further. We stock units from brands known across the trade world, guaranteeing you excellent performance for a fair price. Whether you opt for one of our recommendations or a different model that better suits your needs, we’ve got you covered.
