Featuring the best bathroom extractor fans in Australia

Don’t skimp on quality when it comes to bathroom extractor fans. The only way to keep your bathroom free from humidity, stale air and unpleasant odours long-term, is with a high quality bathroom extractor fan, alongside other heating products like heated towel rails. ArchiPro only sources the best bathroom extractor fans from trusted suppliers in Australia, so you can enhance your next bathroom experience and maintain a healthy environment. They are an important part of a wider range of high quality bathroom heating and ventilation products available on ArchiPro.

Types 

Inline 

Inline bathroom extractor fans are usually mounted inside the ducting and don't sit directly on the wall or ceiling. They have reduced noise and are one of the most effective ways of purifying the air.

Axial

Axial bathroom extractor fans contain rotating blades that help to pull the air in, to flow in an “axis” motion. In Australia, they are commonly mounted through the wall and ceiling.

Centrifugal

Centrifugal bathroom extractor fans are highly energy efficient and provide constant airflow, making them great for sustaining a larger bathroom area.

Advantages

High-quality bathroom extractor fans have numerous advantages over lower-quality options. First, high-quality extractor fans can purify and process a larger volume of air faster, and more efficiently, than lower quality fans. Some high-quality models even have set timers, which allow you to control when and how often it’s used. If you have a larger bathroom, ensure that every corner of air is being sufficiently purified with large and powerful extractor fans of the highest quality. These extractor fans generate more cubic feet per minute (CFMs) allowing for better airflow. High quality models also tend to have better noise control, so the whole house isn’t disturbed when anyone takes a shower.

How to choose bathroom extractor fans that are right for you

When deciding the right bathroom extractor fan for you, take into account the size of your bathroom, noise levels and when you want it to operate. Some bathroom extractor fans will have set timers that automatically turn on and off when someone enters the bathroom, while others will need to be manually operated. Fans with exterior grills can be noisier than those with fixed grills, which can pose a problem if your bathroom is close to a bedroom. Next, consider the amount of CFMs generated. CFMs measure the volume of air and how fast it moves, so if you have more humidity or a larger bathroom, choose an extractor fan that has a higher CFM measure to accommodate this. It might be also good to invest in a different bathroom heater.  Finally, you need to decide where to place the fan. Ceiling exhaust fans are the most common. However, exhaust fans can be placed on the walls too.

What other accessories can you use to control heat in your bathroom?

Alongside extractor fans, there are other features you can look at that can help control heat and air quality in your bathroom, such as:

Heated towel rails 

Heated towel rails not only warm your towels but also contribute to the ambient temperature of the bathroom. By radiating heat, they can help maintain a comfortable temperature, especially in smaller bathrooms or during colder months.

Bathroom heaters

Bathroom heaters directly address the challenge of keeping your bathroom warm. Whether it's a wall-mounted unit, a ceiling heater, or underfloor heating, they provide immediate warmth, making your bathroom more comfortable. These heaters are particularly useful in rapidly changing the room's temperature before and after showers or baths, ensuring the space is always cosy.

Mirror demisters

While primarily designed to keep mirrors fog-free, mirror demisters also contribute to a more comfortable bathroom environment by slightly warming the area around the mirror. This can help reduce the chill in the air, especially in bathrooms where the mirror is situated near the shower or bath.
