Bathrooms are prone to excess moisture and dampness, which can lead to the growth of black mould. Having an extractor fan in your bathroom helps reduce humidity and condensation, prevent this from happening. This not only saves you from the hassle of cleaning but also helps maintain a healthier environment for you and your family. As excessive mould buildup can even lead to respiratory issues and allergic reactions according to the NHS.

To comply with UK building regulations, your bathroom must have proper ventilation through either an openable window or an extractor fan that vents outside. If you did not vent the air outside, moist air could be directed to other spaces in your home and cause mould or rot.

UK regulations stipulate ventilation requirements for bathrooms, outlined in the Building Regulations Document F. To comply, your bathroom must have proper ventilation through either an openable window or an extractor fan that vents outside. New build properties with both a bath and shower must use an extractor fan due to increased airtightness. The ventilation requirement is 15 litres per second/54m3 per hour. All extractor fans from Pebble Grey meet these regulations.

Extractor fan noise is measured in decibels (dB). Pebble Grey's extractor fans range from 30dB to 48dB at a distance of 2 meters. 38dB is similar to a whisper.
