Bathroom moisture isn't just uncomfortable—it's destructive. Old, corroded extractor fans frequently fail because they lack proper insulation and positioning, allowing cold air to cause condensation that drips back into the room, damaging ceilings and walls.
The solution? A vertical in-line extractor fan paired with properly insulated ducting changes everything.
Why Insulated Ducting Makes All the Difference
When moist air travels through cold, uninsulated ducting, it cools rapidly and turns back into water—exactly what you want to avoid. Insulated ducting maintains consistent temperature throughout the system, preventing this condensation cycle entirely. The vertical positioning also ensures moisture flows downhill and out of the property rather than pooling inside the pipe.
Real Protection Against Mould
Extractor fans remove moisture-laden air before it condenses on walls, windows, and fixtures. This keeps humidity levels down, which denies mould the damp environment it needs to grow. Properly working ventilation also prevents paint peeling, wallpaper bubbling, and structural damage caused by trapped moisture.
How It All Works Together
The combination of a quality vertical in-line fan and insulated ducting creates an effective system that actually performs when you need it. Regular use after showers removes the steamy air quickly, keeping your bathroom fresh and dry.
If your bathroom ventilation is showing signs of age or corrosion, upgrading to an insulated system solves the problem properly rather than patching the symptoms. Get in touch to discuss what your bathroom ventilation needs.
