In single glazing a glazier can cut the hole in the existing pane. In double glazing you cannot cut an existing sealed unit, so a glazier makes a new unit with the hole built in. The hole size is on each product page, and varies between manufacturers, so order the fan before the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size window fan do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a guide, a 6 inch (150mm) fan suits a toilet, bathroom or small domestic kitchen, a 7 inch (180mm) or 9 inch (230mm) fan suits a larger kitchen, café or small workroom, and a 12 inch (300mm) fan suits bigger commercial rooms. For a domestic kitchen, Approved Document F asks for 60 l\/s of intermittent extract where the fan is not over the hob, and 15 l\/s for a bathroom, so check the fan's extract rate against the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWindow fan or wall fan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bathroom-extractor-fans\"\u003ewall or ceiling fan\u003c\/a\u003e is usually neater and quieter, and is the better choice wherever you can core drill an outside wall. A window fan makes sense where the wall is too thick, is shared, or cannot be drilled, such as in rented or listed buildings, or where the only outside face of the room is glazing. It is also usually the quicker install where the glass is being replaced anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePull cord or wall switch?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull cord models, such as the Xpelair GXC9, have the switch built in, so they need only a fused spur and no separate switch wiring, which suits a quick replacement. Wall switched models are controlled from a separate switch, which is more convenient in a commercial kitchen or anywhere the fan is out of reach. Some models also run in reverse to bring fresh air in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo window fans close when they are switched off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost window fans include an internal or external shutter that closes when the fan stops, which keeps out draughts, rain and insects. Check the product page for the shutter type, particularly on an exposed elevation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit a window extractor fan in a bathroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, a 6 inch window fan is a common choice for a bathroom or toilet with a window and no outside wall to drill. Check the fan's position against the bathroom zones: within reach of the bath or shower it needs a suitable IP rating.
