Ventilation fans and extractors
Bathroom extractor fans and ventilation fans are designed specifically to remove moisture, steam and odours generated in the bathroom. Due to the high humidity, mould can easily develop in these spaces, so reliable ventilation is essential to keep the air fresh and protect surfaces and joints from damp.
Main functions:
-
Dehumidification: Their primary role is to remove excess moisture generated in the bathroom, for example after showering or bathing. By reducing humidity, they help prevent the growth of mould and bacteria that can develop in persistently damp environments and damage surfaces, joints and paintwork.
-
Ventilation: They ensure continuous air circulation by extracting warm, humid, stale air and allowing fresh air to enter the room. This improves overall comfort, reduces the feeling of stuffiness and supports a healthier indoor climate in enclosed bathrooms or toilets.
-
Odour removal: Effective extraction also helps to remove unpleasant odours quickly. This keeps the bathroom air fresher and more pleasant for the next user, which is especially important in frequently used family bathrooms or guest toilets.
Types:
-
Classic bathroom extractor fan:
- The simplest, most widely used solution for basic bathroom ventilation.
- Typically switched on manually with a wall switch, and in many installations operates together with the room lighting.
- Ideal for smaller bathrooms or toilets where straightforward, reliable extraction is required without extra features.
-
Timer-controlled extractor:
- These fans are equipped with an integrated timer that keeps the fan running for a pre-set period after the light or main switch is turned off.
- This extended operation helps remove remaining steam and moisture even after leaving the bathroom.
- Particularly useful in bathrooms without windows or with intensive use, where thorough moisture removal is important.
-
Humidity-sensor extractor:
- A bathroom extractor fan that automatically monitors the humidity level in the air.
- When humidity rises above a set threshold, the fan switches on by itself and runs until the level drops back to normal.
- This smart control helps maintain consistent air quality, reduces the risk of mould and offers convenient, energy-conscious operation without the need for constant manual switching.
Within this category you will find a wide range of bathroom ventilation solutions, from simple on/off models to advanced, sensor-controlled extractors. This allows you to choose the fan that best matches the size of your bathroom, its usage patterns and your comfort preferences.
