The Best Value-for-Money Bathroom Ventilation Fan: Silent yet Stylish

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

We did some research recently into what is the best bathroom fan, especially when it comes to these three criteria’s: silent, stylish, and value for money.

The Best Value-for-Money Bathroom Ventilation Fan: Silent yet Stylish [in the picture: Silent 100 from Envirovent]

We asked both our customers and our consultants over the counter, and the result is unequivocally the Silent 100 from Envirovent (sorry to spoil the surprise).

And here are some reasons why we came to this conclusion.

A Bathroom Fan that is Silent!

The SIL100T Silent 100mm bathroom fan is a 26.5db(A) at 3m fan – which mainly means that it is very silent.

It is so annoying when you go to the bathroom and the fan – which comes on automatically – is loud in its operation! Believe me, I know what I’m talking about. You don’t even want to be there.

But with the Silent 100 fan there is no such problem: it’s incredible silent running will insure you virtually don’t even hear it – it simply operates in the background.

People pay attention to style, but sometimes in the bathroom you may not even need too much style (unless you’re planning to spend a lot of time there). In our research and comparison, we have found other bathroom ventilation fans that are more stylish, but the Silent 100 with timer was alright.

The white or silver finish gives it a plus – it can match the design of the bathroom.

Best Value for Money

This is the tricky part: who wants to pay close to £100 for a bathroom fan? At this point in our research we realized that there’s no other fan yet that can match the value for money Silent 100 Fan from Envirovent can.

A little less than £50 (VAT included) will insure you will have a wall, window, or ceiling mounted fan with timer included, with a full IP45 rating for bathroom use.

Other Gold Stars

Style, silence, and value for money is not all EnviroVent has to offer with SIL100T.

Question: if you purchased and installed one of these, or if you have seen them in action, what do YOU think? Are they as good as this article says, or better?

The Silent 100 Extractor Fan Faces the Envirovent Fan Power Challenge

The Silent 100 extractor fan faces the Envirovent "fan power challenge" - will it pass?

 The Silent 100 is the latest fan to undertake Envirovent’s gruelling Fan Power Challenge. It’s a fun video, and full of great information for installers. Did you know that a flat cover is the natural enemy of the extractor fan?

A Silent Fan by Name and by Nature

It’s hard to convey in words just how quiet the Silent extractor fans run, so it’s nice that Envirovent have uploaded some videos. Compared with competing products, the difference is so great that at first, we weren’t sure it was plugged in – the microphone can’t pick up the sound!

Sparks Direct stocks Silent 100 extractor fans, optionally with integrated timers and humidistats. They’re great in bathrooms, utility rooms, and

kitchens, where a great deal of extraction is required.

(In the video, the silver model is put to the test: you can purchase one here with a timer and humidistat.)

These fans are extremely reliable – out of all the items we’ve sold, we have had only one return! When it comes to high-power air extraction and humidity control, the Silent 100 is the clear choice for architects, contractors, and ventilation enthusiasts.

Earlier today, Envirovent dropped off a display unit, and we’ll be playing with that in the weeks to come. Keep your eye on this blog for the results!

innovation with style – the new Envirovent Silent 100 Design bathroom fans

The interior designs have influenced the way we choose items for the home from wallpaper to practical electrical appliances.  From cooker hoods to shower curtains, current trends have an effect on what we buy and even in a recession consumers still want to furnish and enhance their homes. For the style conscious certain appliances, such as extractor fans, still provide a challenge.

Extractor fans are a necessary part of modern day life. As we construct or refurbish our homes in-line with stringent building regulations to become more energy efficient by adding measures such as cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and double glazing, we effectively  ‘seal –up’ our homes and by doing so create poor ventilation, which can lead to condensation and mould problems. Conventional extractor fans are not ‘fashion friendly’ and for a number of people this is not a problem. However, the consumer who has just spent a small fortune on a fabulous bathroom with a trendy walk-in shower will require something extra special that is pleasing on the eye. EnviroVent have the perfect solution – the stylish SILENT 100 Design.

The SILENT 100 Design is a new range of domestic axial fans suitable for utility rooms and bathrooms available in two colours, white or silver, complete with four smart interchangeable front panel trims in four evocative shades.  By incorporating whisper-quiet silent technology, the presence of the SILENT 100 Design fan promises never to ruin the ambiance of the room it has been installed in.

Innovative Silence – the SILENT 100 Design

The SILENT 100 Design is the result of extensive and scrupulous development by EnviroVent’s R&D team, who have patented a refreshing new concept by developing an extractor fan that is designed to extract the maximum airflow with the minimum noise possible. This is achieved by motors mounted on silent elastic blocks; the elastic blocks absorb the vibrations from the motor and prevent the noise being transmitted into the area where the extract fan is installed. This not only significantly reduces the noise from the extractor fan, but also any noise from the surface that supports the fan.

The SILENT 100 Design has been tested for noise and vibration by ENAC/ILAC, an independent research centre in Europe. Here, a benchmark study was carried out on the market’s most popular domestic axial extract fans to test their acoustic benefits against the patented ‘silent’ technology of the SILENT Range.   Each appliance went through sound power level testing using sound pressure. At the time of testing the results showed that out of all the axial fans tested, the most popular ‘quietest’ model on the market emitted twice the noise level of the equivalent SILENT model.

Some Great Ideas for your new En Suite – the Ideal Lights for your En-Suite

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Many homes in the UK are undergoing renovations, and it would seem that the bathroom is one of the most commonly redecorated rooms in any household. Reasons for redesigns will commonly be based on the fact that a bathroom is seen as a place to put the stresses of life behind you for half an hour. It is also the first room you turn to when you start a new day, therefore homeowners want to create a chilled sanctuary in order to get away from the stresses of their busy life.

One of the most fundamental features in your bathroom will be the bathroom lights, and you are spoilt for choice when it comes to the array of bathroom lights and fittings to choose from. You can now choose from bathroom ceiling lights, bathroom wall lights and bathroom mirror lights. Many contemporary fitted bathrooms now come fitted with motion sensors so that you do not have to constantly flick the light switch on and off. Mirror bathroom lights can fit to your wall in a cabinet style, or they can be mounted to the wall with a fully adjustable arm. Some of these lights even come with switch sensors so again you do not have to flick a switch or yank on a cord.

A popular money and energy saving idea for your bathroom is under floor heating, which can be fitted on all types of flooring including timber, concrete or laminate floors. The benefit of this form of heating is that it requires less energy to heat a particular space, saving you money, and can help in preventing dangerous slippery surfaces in your en suite. On top of that, you also have the ability to control the temperature of the heat emitted, ensuring the correct room temperature, and you are able to save space in your en suite, which would have previously been taken up by the radiator.

It is also important to ensure that your en suite has an extractor fan fitted, as your bathrooms interior décor could deteriorate without this appliance fully installed. The options available to you are Airflow Extractor Fans, Manrose Extractor Fans or just your standard run of the mill Extractor Fan. They may not sound too glamorous, but they are a fundamental requirement if you want to save yourself money on redecorating your en suite.

Away from the design side of things, there are other efforts you can personally make in order to create your bathroom’s desired atmosphere. Many would look to scatter candles around their en suite, and light them when they are looking to have a relaxing bath. Also, you may want to put some flowers or popery around your bathroom to enhance the room’s aroma and aesthetics. To create that tranquil atmosphere, many opt to play music in their bathroom in order to help them unwind and relax. Although it should be noted that appropriate caution should be taken when lighting candles and taking electricals into your en suite. So there you have it, take advantage of this free advice and create your desired en suite.
