hi
bathroom is in a basement flat and central. living room to one side, bedroom, party wall, corridor to the rest. house is three storeys. currently fan vents in to a chimney breast. possible flats above do the same if they above each other. not sure on that.
any one think of options to remove moist air from bathroom and were to?

Any ceiling void space for to run ducting? Unlikely I guess.
Maybe take a look at air conditioning option.
Also, - and this might seem a strange comment, but keep bathroom as dry as possible after showering to help avoiding excess moisture from evaporation.
After having each shower best to dry off most of the water on shower doors and tray etc.

hi
thanks for reply.
ceiling may be a possibility, not sure which way rafters run or if the void is sound proofed in some way. would be a long trunking run to get to the outside in any case.
"Maybe take a look at air conditioning option" not sure how that would work.

hi
yes a possibility but not going to clear the steam in a hurry i wouldnt think.also position and wiring in a wet room would need careful thought.
