best extractor fans!

Knollys

So we've got some seriously urgent extractor fan requirements:

1. We've got a shower room (5 by 5ft) with a small window. My wife likes 3 hour showers and with it being a small space with a small window, well you can imagine what its like

So was thinking an axial extractor fan - any recommendations on a good one?
Happy to spend around £100 to get a good one...

2. Main bathroom doesn't have a window and I think its got quite a long duct (3-5 metres), with a crappy axial fan on it at the mo.

Was thinking a centrifugal extractor - again, any recommendations?

And again, don't mind spending around the £100 mark for a good one

Anything like Vent Axia or Xpelair and you won't go wrong.

Shower room - go for a high volume centrifugal fan with an over run timer and possibly even a humidistat.

Main bathroom - yes go for an in line centrifugal one, most will specify the length of run for the fan.

Centrifugal for shower room too?

I thought as the fan is placed directly on an external wall that I should stick with axial?

The centrifugal fans have a much better extract rate than Axial fans http://www.electricpoint.com/ventilation/xpelair-fans/premier-range/fan-wall-ceiling-cond-control.html designed for bathrooms and shower rooms

As far as I know a centrifugal fan is designed for long runs. If possible an inline fan for long runs is more suitable. Vortice do a good quality inline fan with high cubic meter extraction rates. For your small bathroom an axial fan might be better but most small bathrooms have 4" fans, where a 5" fan will have massive extraction rates in comparison to 4" fans. Humidistat and over run timer as standard. Min extraction rate 75/85 cM2. Automatic backdraught shutters to keep out the cold.
