Why is it compulsory to have a fan fitted in a new bathroom?
The bathroom has a window.
The other bathroom in the house does not have a fan.

These things are ugly and noisy and i can't for the life of me think of a logical reason why you have to have them in new bathrooms.

read part f, l of the building regs and that'll explain it all.

don't change anything.

>The other bathroom in the house does not have a fan.

how old's the house ?

>These things are ugly and noisy

only when you use cheap ones.

then leave it to someone who does.

I've looked this up on the internet and all i can understand is that the fans are to remove excess odours and humidity. I have a window and airspray for this.

> how old's the house ?

100 years plus, but the new bathroom was refitted only a few years back. Should a fan have gone in then?

> only when you use cheap ones.

Happy to pay money for a nice one although i suspect it will only improve the look and i'm still going to have to put up with the noise.

> then leave it to someone who does.

Apologies if i've come across as ignorant, but i like to understand why things have to be a certain way when i'm spending money on my house.

Thanks for your help.

As a painter i regularly come across mould and lifting paint in bathrooms, and its usually because there's no fan fitted.It really does make a difference.
