Small Shower Room Ventilation.

Zoomup
I was talking to a developer this morning. His son is a sparks. The two have installed a new 4 inch ceiling fan in a small upstairs shower room that has no windows. The building roof has been renewed recently and new breathable "felt" installed under the tiles. I had previously mentioned that the roofers could install a new roof vent for the fan ducting, but nothing has been done about this.


The developer says that the son advises terminating the air duct in the loft onto a bucket to catch moisture, which I said was not acceptable.


Bearing in mind that the new roofing "felt" (membrane) is breathable, is there any reason these days not to terminate the air duct directly into the loft space with no external grille?

    ... this is a stupid idea !!.


    Mike, please stop beating about the bush and let us know what you really think. (I agree.)




    Apologies if you find my style overly laid back and unclear, but please be assured that if I do hurt people's feelings it is not with intent.

    I have been known to be a bit fierce in design reviews where the background reading has clearly not been done however. ?

    this however is most unwise. and trouble awaits them in a few years time. I'm surprised building control signed off on it. Perhaps they did not see it.
