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?

    Yes, and not for the better!

    As DZ says, if there is not adequate ventilation, a flue will not draw and your fire simply will not get going. The adjustment in my wood-burner is quite remarkable - it is almost as instantaneous as a control on a gas cooker. So if I cut off the air, the fire goes out. Hardly surprising really!

    I suspect that a greater risk arises from partial blockage of the flue.
