Best place for bathroom vent?

[0Floz0]

Hi

As title suggests. Unsure where to place my vent. I’ve got an inline vent, plan is to vent it out of a roof tile and so it needs to be on the ceiling.

I’ve attached a drawing of the layout. Wary I don’t want it between the spotlights as it’ll look odd. But the steel from our loft conversion could be an issue as well. The roof slopes down to the window.

It’s an L shaped bath/shower.

I’ve read conflicting things on the forum. Some say over the shower head (steel may be an issue), some say between the door and the shower head. The steel could be an issue in either. I’ll need to check when I take the roof off (waiting for better weather) if the steel is in the way.

How would I stop the draft coming back through? I put one of those one way vents on my other extractor but it’s not massively effective and constantly makes a tapping sound when it’s windy.

Thanks all

Over the shower or as near as possible to the source of the steam. Angle the duct so it goes out sideways , that should reduce blow back

I wouldn't, a wall mounted fan is much more efficient, both energy wise, and at clearing moisture. Mounted on the window wall, it would draw air across from the door, clearing the entire room effectively.

As near as source of steam as possible, wall mounted fans are feeble by comparison and less than ideal .

Near the shower and make sure you have a decent gap under the door so it can draw dry air into the room from the house

I disagree, they tend to be more effective, because the distance between input and exit is much shorter, much more direct. Ceiling fans tend to be used, because there is no alternative.

I disagree because that statement makes no sense , very vague and ambiguous .

I’ve got a wall mounted one in that sort of location upstairs in the en suite and it seems to do very little if I’m honest. May just need turning up in fairness. But the inline does seem to be quoted as shifting much more in volume versus the wall equivalents.

That’s correct , in-line tends to be far more powerful and often quieter as the fan is remote from the room.
