Axial Fans are suitable for wall, window and roof applications where they can extract directly to the outside.Centrifugal Fans are pressure developing fans, capable of overcoming the resistance encountered in a ducted system. This is particularly useful in applications such as internal toilets, bathrooms or washrooms where there is no direct access to the outside.

 | Condensation Control Fans...
are designed to alleviate condensation problems in kitchens and bathrooms whether domestic or commercial. Not only is condensation unhealthy, but it can also cause structural damage by encouraging mould, wood rot, damp and decor deterioration. Always check that any apparent problems are caused by condensation and are not the result of another form of dampness i.e. rising damp or rain penetration |
