Frequently Asked Questions
How do I size an extractor fan for my bathroom?
Calculate the room volume in cubic metres (length x width x height), then multiply by the recommended air-change rate. For a standard family bathroom, aim for at least 8 air changes per hour. For a shower-only en-suite or steam-heavy space, allow 10 to 15. Our 105m3/h fans suit bathrooms up to roughly 12m3, while the 169m3/h models handle larger or steamier rooms. Ducting length and bends also affect performance, so add 10 to 20 percent capacity for longer runs. Speak to the Bella Bathrooms team for a sizing calculation tailored to your project.
What is the difference between humidity-sensor, timer, and standard models?
A standard fan runs only while the switch is on, which often means homeowners turn it off before moisture has fully cleared. Timer models keep running for a set period after the light or switch is turned off, typically 5 to 30 minutes. Humidity-sensor models activate automatically when relative humidity rises, then shut off once the room dries, which is the most reliable way to prevent mould. For shower-heavy or windowless bathrooms, a humidity sensor combined with a timer override gives the best of both worlds.
Do these fans need professional installation?
Hard-wired bathroom extractor fans must be installed by a registered electrician in line with SANS 10142, particularly because they are mounted in zoned wet areas. Ducting also needs careful planning: aim for the shortest, straightest run possible to an external wall or roof outlet, with smooth-bore ducting and a backdraft shutter at the termination to prevent reverse airflow and pest ingress. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles can recommend qualified installers in Gauteng, and our consultants will brief them on the specification at handover.
Are these fans suitable for South African supply?
Yes. Every fan in our extractor range runs on 220 to 240V at 50Hz, matching the standard South African residential supply, and ships with SABS-recognised wiring connections. Models with integrated LED lights use long-life modules rated for tens of thousands of hours, so bulb replacement is rarely needed. For installations subject to load-shedding, the fan resumes its programmed cycle automatically when power returns, so timer and humidity logic continues without manual intervention.
