Not sure if this is in the correct forum, but not getting any comments form the electric forum and it is kind of water related :confused: .....

I am installing a new bathroom suite in a pretty small room (1.5m x 2mish) which has a lowered false ceiling. I wish to install a ventilation fan to help clear the mist when showering but am unsure on the best position. My options seem to be:
1. Install in the ceiling (above the shower bath?) to maximise steam removal at source and vent it through the ceiling void (18inches depth) and into the loft space - not overly keen on this due to putting damp air into loft and seems abit of a botch job.
2. Install at some point in the ceiling (not necessarily over the shower bath), across the ceiling void and create a hole in an exterior wall and make good - seems like the belt and braces approach but considerable effort
3. Install in the glass of the window - only a shortish solution as intend to replace old single glazed unit with DG in 2-3 years.
4. Leave as is and just open the window when showering.

Can anybody give me any advice please?

You answered your own question the only real option is to go out through the wall or roof.
