Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Mar 10, 2011 6:54 am Hi All, Looking for some valued input into a problem we have with our ensuite. As it has no direct sunlight entering (other than through the open door), the ceiling above the shower recess is prone to mould. We currently have a 'Hellier' exhaust & lighting combo in the centre of the ensuite. Ensuite size is about 2.5 m x 1.2m I have been thinking about having an additional exhaust fan installed above the shower recess itself. Can anyone recommend an exhaust fan that they are happy with? In particular, is there one that is more quiet than the others? Interested in your thoughts!

Sadly, we dont even have a pane of glass. No ventilation at all. Generally, the fan & light combination in the centre of the ensuite works well. Dont tend to suffer from steam on mirror or sweating on walls. However, the mould on the roof above the shower recess is terrible! Hence why I would like to install an additional extractor fan. I was hoping to get some recommendations in regard to quiet fans. As I wake early for work and get ready in the ensuite, I dotn really want anything that is going to wake the wife & kids!
