Bathroom Extractor Fans

[raymar]

I am in the process of renovating my bathroom. I am taking out the bath and replacing it with a shower. I want to put in a ceiling mounted fan with an integral light fitting directly over the new shower. I already have a ceiling mounted extractor fan, but not in the right place, which is vented out through the roof. Can I install a new fan and connect it up to the existing outlet connection in the roof? All the new fans I have seen all recommend they are vented out through the wall or through the soffit. All advice and recommendations gratefully recieved.
Many thanks
Ray

yes you can though this type of fan not as efficent so if lenth of duct quite short say 1.5m max

Personally i prefer not to use the integral type units, always prefer seperate. It goesnt matter how you duct, distance is the issue. 2mts plus a lot of standard fans will run out of steam. If longer than that use a ccentrifugal fan, looks the same just move more air.

run out of steam.

I thought that was the whole idea?
