Cover for bathroom extractor fan

evoke

Today was a chilly morning and my bathroom was freeeeeeeezing! There's an extractor fan which allows a lot of cold air to come into the bathroom as the external grille isn't louvred.

So, does anyone know if you can buy push-on or clip-on covers for extractor fans to provide a bit of insulation when they're not being used?

The best option is to get a louver fitted to the outside.

Hello!

You could try here http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/bathroom-and-shower-17-0000 or Screwfix - or even somewhere like Homebase or B&Q. In the spirit of money-saving though, I'd probably Blu-tack an old floor-tile/sturdy bit of card or plastic over the vent and remove it when the bathroom's in use.

Good luck! x

The thing is that I don't want it to look like a bodge! The bathroom is brand new. Just to clarify the louvre - what I meant is that there are no backdraught shutters but the grille on the outside is louvred, but it's always open so you can see straight through to the outside.

Changing a brand new fan when all the decorating has been done will be a pain in the proverbial! I've sent an email off to Vent-Axia to see if they offer covers.

Ah! OK - I understand. Hopefully Vent-Axia will be able to sort you out.

Best of luck. xx

You can get back draught shutters that will fit inside the duct to the outside.
