Velux Skylight with Extractor Fan,

Brianboy · 2019-11-11 20:40:01

I have a velux skylight that I want to have an extractor fan on the skylight, velux say that third parties do this and not them, any suggestions of anybody that would do this in Ireland?

I'd be wary of a field upgrade, the space between the glass panels needs to be an inert gas like argon and bone dry so you avoid condensation and mould. Can't see how this could be achieved by someone coming to your house to fit a fan to an existing skylight.

I'd look for a replacement skylight with a factory-fitted fan.

Thanks for your response, where did you source the skylight with a factory-fitted fan, Velux say they do not do them.

why do you want to put the fan in the window, why not in the ceiling?

I didn't, I was just giving my observation.
