I'm renovating the bathroom in a central (no window) mid-floor apartment with flat-channel ducting and a long duct span (6-7 metres) to the external wall vent. I've removed the original centrifugal fan (c.25 years old) and need to decide on a replacement.
(The 1500mm x 700mm shower tray is fitted in the old bath recess with a fixed glass panel open at the end so shower tray is not in an enclosure)
Inline fans seem to be the most effective but there is no room above ceiling level to install it. I'm considering installing the fan below ceiling level mid-way along the duct-which would be in a bedroom-with the existing flat channel ducting above ceiling level and then boxing-in the fan.
Other options I'm considering are a modern centrifugal fan or a dMEV (continuous running) fan.
Obviously having a fan boxed-in below ceiling level is not ideal!
Can anyone advise on the most suitable and effective option?
Thank you in advance.
