Impact on health

Noise can have a detrimental effect on the health of householders. Being woken up in the night by a noisy fan affects our sleep patterns which creates potential health issues. In the UK Chief Medical Officer’s 2017 Annual Report; ‘Health Impacts of all Pollution’ he states; “Noise stands second to poor air quality in terms of the burden of ill health caused by a single pollutant.” Noisy fans also encourage people to turn off the unit which in turn has a detrimental effect on indoor air quality.

Household comfort

During our everyday activities we are often exposed to noisy appliances but ventilation does not need to be one of them! The maximum sound pressure requirement suggested in regulations (ADF:2010) for a kitchen/ bathroom fan is 35dB(A). Choosing an innovative ultra-low noise ventilation solution such as our Silent Fan, you can achieve noise levels as low as 12dB(A), this will positively impact your comfort and ensure indoor air quality is maintained without disturbance. While we cannot eliminate all noise, there are things we can do to manage our exposure.

Tranquil home

With the importance of good indoor air quality now recognised by the Government’s Clean Air Strategy and the NICE draft guidance on Indoor Air Quality at Home it is more important than ever before that our homes are comfortable with the best possible air quality. Efficient and quiet ventilation will provide this while creating a tranquil environment. The ideal fan shouldn’t disturb the family as they sleep, it should slash nuisance running and as we relax in a bath at the end of a busy day it should be last thing on our minds. Vent-Axia is perfectly placed to offer the ideal quiet solution that will ensure household comfort

Nuisance running

Nuisance running is where your ventilation product is operating when it doesn't need to. 40% of people surveyed by Vent-Axia revealed they, their partner or their children have been woken at night by a noisy bathroom fan leading to some households turning off their ventilation. You can remove nuisance running and see the benefit of improved ventilation by selecting models with features designed to avoid this happening, delay timers, adjustable timers, intelligent humidity controls and time of day restrictions are all features that can help. Choosing a fan designed for low noise ventilation is a must.

Avoid over ventilating

Over ventilating is delivering more ventilation than is required to remove pollutants and manage the moisture generated in your home. Running fans at higher speeds than necessary uses more energy and increases noise levels, choosing a fan with variable speed settings ensures your family has the best indoor environment at the lowest noise levels all whilst reducing your energy consumption. Coupled with clever humidly controls a variable speed fan will protect your family and adjust the ventilation to the number of people in your home.

This range of fans is not only compact, powerful and very quiet but has the added benefit of moving the source of noise away from the room into a ceiling void or loft space further enhancing its low noise benefits. Suitable for continuous or intermittent operation the ACM fan has 3 integral speed settings and a run on timer version. The non timer versions can be controlled by a separate remote humidity sensor.
