Room with no window...how to circulate air!

barginboyrob

Thanks for the replies! The room is bigish and has ensuite, it doesn't have proper extracter fan really,just some air vents which don't move, none of the 3 rooms have windows as such because none of the rooms face the outside, i.e. if i knocked my wall down it would lead to the corridor

My room is upstairs but the balcony space is on the downstairs of the apartment, the wall facing the outside downstairs is basically one Massive Window

Let us hope you never have to escape from a bedroom because there's a raging inferno of a fire in the corridor.

Well yeah true, there would be no escape..though even if there was a window i would be 50 meters up! oh well, touch wood

Out of interest, what about the other wall? And the other other wall? And, unless the room is triangular in shape, the other other other wall?

As for ideas, apart from fans, aircon and knocking down walls (LL would not be happy!) not much you can do. Did you not realise there were no windows when you signed the contract?

One wall would knock into my flatmates room,

One wall would knock into my neighbours room

One wall would knock into my own staircase, (it has one of those semi see through glass panels there atm)

One wall would knock into the communal corridor (albeit higher up)

Bizarre, sounds like a breach of builing regs.

Yeh, I thought it would be as well actaully. Is just I was stuck and I had to get somewhere quickly.
It seems a legit operation, it's here if anyone is interested

I quite like it. Can you speak with the letting agency? Maybe others have had the same problem. Or find out who the architects were, and have an informal word with them. If it's a design flaw they may like to know about it (politely).

Seems?

You know things aren't always what they seem.

I can not believe that a bedroom is permitted with no windows.

The only thing I can think of is that the air ducts aren't performing properly. If the bedrooms are on the mezzanine they are always going to be stuffy as the hot air from the lower level will rise up to them and won't have anywhere else to go.
How about trying one of those standalone aircon units which blast out cold air but don't need to be vented? Argos had them in the summer.
