Loft conversion bathroom extractor
I previously have bought the Kair K-HRV150 from yourselves and that works well for an ensuite refit, compared to a standard extractor.
Currently I have a loft conversion underway and would like another heat recovery extractor and this looks like it fits the bill. It's likely the extraction needs to go out to the roof. Is this suitable? Could you recommend pipe/ducting and vents (internal + external) that would be suitable and additional items that would be needed with this for fitting?
My builder specialises in loft conversions but has never heard of these heat recovery units.
I am assuming this can be fitted into the new ceiling which will be quite thick due to insulation fitted these days.
Thanks,
Giles
