Vectaire has now launched its "Microbox" range of two speed fans, designed to meet the parameters of apartment ventilation.

The new models will be smaller in size than any of those currently available making it easier than ever to install in the restricted space of a ceiling void.

They provide a balanced extract system, giving continuous, energy efficient, quiet ventilation in several rooms simultaneously. Each of the three models has a choice of four capacities for the lower (continuous running) speed. This feature allows precise adjustment on installation to ensure that the speed chosen meets all the regulations. Boosting to the higher speed can be controlled manually, or can be triggered by humidistat, air quality sensor, thermostat or PIR sensor. All models incorporate an overrun timer. A range of three models ensures there is a fan suitable for properly ventilating up to 1,000 cubic metres.

The "ASPlus" range are slim profiled axial fans with near centrifugal fan power. They can be ducted up to 6 metres, and are available in standard or timered versions with white or chrome finishes. The fans have an improved performance/power ratio allowing them to extract powerfully but quietly. They can easily be installed in walls or ceilings and are IPX4 rated for safe installation in Zones I and II. One fan for all bathrooms and shower-rooms.
