Bathroom Extractors for rentals
- Product description
- Product details
Bathroom steam and constant humidity causes mould and mildew which is unhealthy. There are many products that can temporarily remove mould and mildew, but it will still continue to grow and breed if you don't take care of the base cause.
A small exhaust fan mounted in the ceiling or high on a wall pulls the moist air out of the room and leaves the air too dry for mould spores to grow. The ideal places are in your bathroom and kitchen as they are the areas that have the most moisture.
There are several types of extractors available depending on your preferences and your house design. Download our extractor fans factsheet here.
For rentals, the Healthy Homes Standards makes it a requirement to fit extractor fans in high moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

3 questions & answers about this product
What size extractor do I need for my kitchen, bathroom & laundry?
The size of extraction units is often connected to the number of "air-changes" per hour which is the number of times the total air volume of the room would be extracted in an hour.
The number of "air changes" needed from your extraction unit depends on the amount of steam created.
- Toilets and laundries without a clothes dryer need 6-10 air changes
- Bathrooms, ensuites and showers need 10-15 air changes
- Kitchens and laundries with a clothes dryer need 15-20 air changes
Where should my extractor be placed?
Extractors should ideally be placed close to the source of steam. Sometimes the location is also influenced by access to external venting.
Can my extractor vent into the ceiling?
No. Air extraction systems cannot vent into a ceiling or roof space. They need to be vented to the outside either through the roof, through a wall or ducted to a suffit.
