1. How does the adjustable over-run timer improve ventilation effectiveness?
The timer keeps the fan running for a preset period (2-30 minutes) after the light is switched off, continuing to extract moisture-laden air and preventing condensation and mould growth - particularly important in bathrooms without windows.
2. Is this fan suitable for installation directly above a shower or bath?
With IP45 rating, it is protected against water jets and suitable for use in bathroom zones where water exposure may occur. Always follow manufacturer instructions and IET wiring regulations for specific zone requirements.
3. What is the advantage of the low 28.5dBA noise level?
At just 28.5dBA, the fan operates quieter than a library (30dBA), ensuring it won't disturb relaxation in bathrooms or conversation in utility rooms while still providing effective ventilation.
4. Does this fan meet current UK Building Regulations?
Yes, it complies with Part F (means of ventilation) and Part L (conservation of fuel and power), making it suitable for new installations and replacements in regulated premises.
5. What is the recommended room size for this 24 l/s extraction rate?
24 l/s is suitable for small to medium bathrooms, ensuites, and utility rooms up to approximately 15-20m³. For larger spaces, multiple fans or higher capacity units may be required.
