Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has supplied one of its Silent Fans to a Victorian cottage renovation in Cambridgeshire.<\/p>\n
Gemma Waterhouse, a fulltime working single mum of three kids, bought the two-bedroom cottage at auction. When it came to overhauling the bathroom, Gemma knew she needed a sleek, discreet fan as it is one of the first things you see as you enter the bathroom.<\/p>\n
Installed by PJB Electrical Services, Vent-Axia\u2019s Silent Fan\u2019s discreet design fitted the bill perfectly, offering visual silence, as well as silent operation. With any bathroom refurbishment, ventilation is key to ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ) and freedom from condensation and mould.<\/p>\n
But with the Silent Fan, electricians can offer \u2018visual silence\u2019 and acoustic silence too, overcoming the problem of noisy, obtrusive bathroom fans. The aesthetics of the Silent Fan boast simple, clean lines with an attractive, slimline fascia that looks like a bathroom tile.<\/p>\n
An average extract fan operates at 35dB(A), which is loud in a confined space. Vent-Axia\u2019s whisper-quiet Silent Fan offers ultra-low sound levels from just 12dB(A), making it the quietest fan on the market.<\/p>\n
The range also offers electricians flexibility, making install a breeze, since it is available with 17 different models. The range includes an IPX5-rating, variable speed models, humidistat options and both intermittent and continuous ventilation models, as well as the option of open and closed grilles. For a customer\u2019s peace of mind, as well as a peaceful bathroom, the Silent Fan has been awarded Quiet Mark certification, which recognises the quietest solutions to unwanted noise.<\/p>\n
Complying fully with the current Building Regulations Approved Document F and L the Silent Fan is designed for wall, ceiling, window and panel mounting. Plus, the Silent Fan will fit into existing 100mm ducts, and is fully compatible with existing silent fan installations making it ideal for replacement applications.<\/p>\n
Households will be keen to keep energy bills to a minimum and so the Silent Fan\u2019s energy efficient motor with an energy consumption of between 1.7 to 7.5 Watts is another great selling point.<\/p>\n
