Ducted extraction versus individual fans
A single wall or ceiling fan in each bathroom is cheap to install and expensive to live with: it is noisy, difficult to service and usually the first thing to fail. A ducted system with one inline fan and several ceiling grilles distributes the work, keeps noise out of the room and gives maintenance a single point to service.
For larger facilities — gyms, change rooms, multi-cubicle bathrooms — ducted extraction is effectively the only sensible route.
Humidity, not just smell
The ventilation rate should be based on the number of fixtures and the traffic the bathroom actually sees. A washroom that satisfies a minimum air change on paper can still be damp all day if it is in constant use.
We look at the fixture count, the layout and whether the space has external walls before setting exhaust volumes and grille positions.
Grooming, longevity and access
Ceiling grilles are positioned so extraction works across the room rather than only above the door. Fans are mounted where they can be reached for cleaning, and the duct route is kept short and insulated where it passes through warm voids.
