installation instructions for all heaters are usually available on line and should include any restrictions for a sloping ceiling and/or contact your electrician and/or the customer services for each light manufacturer for advice

Yes, unfortunately I can’t find one that can be fitted on a pitched ceiling

bathroom lighting and heating?
Q
Comments (3)
I'm also wondering about makeup lighting. As far as heat lamps go, I installed 4 x 275W heat lamps (IXL) even in my small ensuite. I know it is recommended to only have the 2 in this space, but in winter I use all 4 and love it. In my bigger main bathroom I put the 4 x 375W heat lamps and I don't think it's enough heat in that space.

Do a Google search for images. Then make sure lights are LEDs. We had problems with two stylish ones before which were then taken off the market.

Thanks oklouise. I love your ideas and the ensuite layout is great. However, I don't think I made my dimensions clear enough and I don't think the rest of your design can work Bed 1 - 3600 X 3600 Bed 2 - 3700 X 3000 Current bathroom - 1960 X 2600 Current laundry - 1820 X 2600 Current toilet - 1340 X 1100 So if we keep the current bed 1 and bathroom space and convert that bathroom to the ensuite, that leaves approx 3200 X 2600 for the bathroom/toilet/laundry. Ideally we would leave the current windows ( a 1000x1100mm sash window 1200mm from the floor in the laundry area) and a high (550x700mm window in the toilet area) which makes juggling the space a bit challenging. Thanks so much for your help with this!

exhaust fan in the bathroom
Q
Comments (3)
Hi, If the exhaust is to be vented outside and is not being mount on an external wall then consider using an in-line fan. This is an exhaust fan that has the motor and fan blade element located inside the ducting. Because the motor and blades are not located directly beside or on top of the opening, the result is considerably quieter than conventional fans of similar performance. In-line fans come in many sizes including very powerful units that have blades far bigger than most ceiling mounted units can support. To ensure the fan is sufficiently sized you need to determine the volume of the bathroom. With some inline fans it is possible to have multiple inlets (exhaust openings), so one fan can cover multiple areas/rooms. An in-line fan can only be used if there is sufficient void to carry the ducting. Important to consider access to the void in case the fan blades and/or motor require maintenance. Finally an in-line fan will cost more to buy and install. Hope the above is useful.

i'm now wondering if the problem isn't the sloping ceiling but the lack of a ceiling cavity to allow for the necessary air exhaust? ...maybe a ceiling or wall mounted heater plus separate window or wall mounted exhaust fan might suit

I wondered if the moving parts don't work as well on an angle? Or the manufacturers simply don't want to offer a warranty for anything not installed in the most typical way because it's not specifically designed for it. Our 3 in 1's have always become more rattly within a few months of installation, which does make me wonder how well they are built.

Reading oklouise's reply I agree with that too, how much cavity is there to work with in the sloping ceiling?

What about a fan with the motor separate to the ceiling vent, I think they are called inline exhaust fans. I've read they tend to be more efficient. I don't know if any come with heating as well. Separate ventilation and heating might be the way to go.

Yes, it is because of the fan needs to be horizontal or the bearings wear incorrectly, Also cavity size. I am now looking at seperate air vent to light and heater.
Thanks for your thoughts
