flexi vent slows the airflow down. Longer runs are far better using soil pipes
Yes if not straight eg not supported so duct rises and falls

Can you push a length of 4” soil pipe in from outside, where your current grill is?
Then connect up a centrifugal fan to that, this would not entail pulling any ceiling down and may be enough to solve the problem.
I'm sure you're right but you'd think it wasn't beyond man to produce a decent one.bad idea. Those are rubbish imho
I’ve used the shower light but put a decent mixed flow in-line fan with it and binned the rubbish they come with.I'm sure you're right but you'd think it wasn't beyond man to produce a decent one.
If shower doesn’t clear you could extract from it just into the main room and let the beast clear it.Here’s what I’d do. Remove a tiled column by the bath, replace with hollow structure connected to low level 150mm waste then out through the wall at low level. Slight drop on the 150mm pipe. Plenty of room at side of bath for a beast in-line fan. Replace column and hide a large grill at the top of the back of it.
How do you mean? extract from the shower to the main room?If shower doesn’t clear you could extract from it just into the main room and let the beast clear it.
100% get rid of flexi duct. I won’t even use it for a meter run.
How are you going to change the ducting?
PS I do think you should talk to the installer so they are aware of the issues you are having, so they can learn
If you think it’s bad now, just wait until the winter
Sure - but if the problem is fixed, i'll stop there.Flexi vent is 100% rubbish on anything other than runs that are short or need to go around corners
concorde was shaped as it was for airflow reasons
We appreciate your replies/updatesSure - but if the problem is fixed, i'll stop there.
if it comes back with a vengance in the colder months as you rightly pointed out - i'd swap the ducting then I guess.
I thought you said the red lines were marking where the vent runs ????????
extractor fan swapped over to a Vent Axia Lo Carbon Quadra, Centrifigual type extractor fan.
At maximum speed setting (220 m3 per hour), it is preventing moisture in the room, but by god is it loud, its deafening when you're in the room at round 50decibels.
You haven't been using it for long enough to draw any conclusions - and remember its a warm dry time of year
20 minutes minimum for the over run timer IMHO
Yes, i'll update shortly doing the work now - we've added an access hatch for the ACM 125T Vent axia.Fwiw concealing an inline fan above the ceiling needs access
thanks - don't have any where near the width for that. So notching out it is!204 x 60 is 5” equivalent
220 x 90 is 6” equivalent.
