In a bathroom or toilet where the ventilation opening is located in the ceiling, you need to install a ceiling extractor fan designed to remove stale air upwards.

The “Ceiling Exhaust Fans” category covers the Blauberg Ultra EC, Ceileo, Compact Ceileo, Ceileo DC and Ultra models — low-noise centrifugal fans with EC or DC motors. Depending on the model, the units may be equipped with backdraught shutters, lighting, various control types and other functional options. Specifications, available modifications, configuration options, connection methods and other details are provided in the documentation available to download on the relevant product pages.

What is a ceiling extractor fan

A ceiling extractor fan is a device for removing stale air from a bathroom or toilet. Unlike wall-mounted models, a ceiling mounted extractor fan connects to a duct routed through the ceiling void, so such solutions are more often used in internal bathrooms with a suspended or plasterboard ceiling.

Blauberg ceiling fans use centrifugal impellers, which provide static pressure sufficient for operation in long and complex duct systems. Depending on the model, the fan casing can be made of galvanised steel or plastic.

The units may have LED backlighting and be fitted with a backdraught shutter, a timer, and motion and humidity sensors — making the device more convenient and economical to run.

Bathroom ceiling extractor fans — why and where to use them

A bathroom ceiling extractor fan is needed to capture stale air and remove it through the ventilation opening in the ceiling into the ventilation system. An extractor fan in the bathroom ceiling maintains healthy air exchange in the room and helps quickly reduce humidity after bathing. This lowers the risk of excess condensation, mould and unpleasant odours.

A ceiling exhaust fan for bathroom suits rooms where the ventilation opening is located in the ceiling and stale air needs to be removed through a duct above the ceiling.

A ceiling bathroom extractor fan is worth using:

  • in bathrooms with no external wall, where air can’t be exhausted directly outside;
  • in rooms with a suspended or plasterboard ceiling, where there is space to route a duct;
  • when wall mounting is impossible or undesirable from a layout point of view;
  • when you need to combine extract ventilation and ceiling lighting in a single device.

All ceiling mount bathroom exhaust fans from Blauberg have an IPX2 or IPX4 (Ingress Protection) rating, meaning they are protected against dripping and splashing water.

Ceiling-mounted exhaust fan features by Blauberg

A ceiling mount exhaust fan for bathroom is selected not only by capacity, but also by motor type, control method and the required functionality.

Fans with DC motors stand out for low energy consumption and quieter operation, which matters for the regular ventilation of bathrooms and toilets. EC motors are also geared towards energy-efficient operation, but additionally provide more precise control of fan capacity, which matters for models with sensors and timers.

Humidity sensors and motion sensors, turn-on timers and overrun timers let you automate the fan’s operation: ventilation will start and stop without manual control.

Models with integrated lighting let you combine extract ventilation and ceiling light in a single device. This helps save space on the ceiling and cut installation time in the bathroom.

Units with a backdraught shutter prevent air from the ventilation duct flowing back into the room when the fan is switched off.

Blauberg ceiling extractor fan series

Depending on the series, Blauberg ceiling exhaust fans differ in design, motor type and functionality:

  • Ultra EC — a powerful series with an EC motor, decorative panels, three-colour LED lighting and a timer (in selected modifications).
  • Ultra — a powerful series with decorative panels, three-colour LED lighting, a timer and a humidity sensor (in selected modifications).
  • Ceileo — a versatile series of ceiling extractor fans with LED lighting, a timer, and a humidity or motion sensor (in selected modifications).
  • Ceileo DC — a series of versatile fans with a DC motor. May have LED lighting and a built-in timer. A humidity or motion sensor option is available.
  • Ceileo Compact — a low-profile series for installation in a confined ceiling space; has modifications with LED lighting, a timer, and humidity and motion sensors.
  • Ceileo Compact DC — a low-profile series with a DC motor for a confined ceiling space; has LED lighting in selected modifications, a timer, and an optional humidity or motion sensor.

Toilet ceiling exhaust fans — a brief use case

A toilet ceiling exhaust fan is structurally no different from the bathroom models. The models presented above are suitable for any washroom where the ventilation opening is located in the ceiling.

For toilets it makes sense to choose models with a timer overrun. In this mode the fan keeps running for a set time after the light is switched off, helping to clear unpleasant odours, and then stops ventilation on its own.

FAQ — ceiling extractor and exhaust fans

What is a ceiling extractor fan?

A ceiling extractor fan is a device for forced extract ventilation, installed in a bathroom or toilet. It speeds up air exchange, captures stale air from the room and directs it into the duct of the ventilation system. Ceiling solutions suit rooms where there is no external wall for wall mounting a fan and the ventilation opening is located in the ceiling.

How is a ceiling exhaust fan installed?

A bathroom ceiling exhaust fan connects to a duct that runs from the ventilation opening in the ceiling to an external ventilation outlet. Installing ceiling models requires space above the ceiling (for example, in a suspended or plasterboard structure) or a loft above the bathroom.

Can a ceiling extractor fan be used in a bathroom with no window?

Yes. A ceiling extractor fan can be used in internal bathrooms with no window or external wall. The device removes air upwards through a duct to an external ventilation outlet.

Do ceiling exhaust fans come with a light?

Yes — the Blauberg Ceileo, Ceileo Compact, Ceileo Compact DC and Ceileo DC models combine an extractor fan and lighting in a single device. To view these solutions, use the filter for lighting availability.

What toilet ceiling exhaust fan should I choose?

Classic ceiling extractor fans are suitable for toilets. When choosing a model you need to know the required capacity, the duct connection diameter and the functionality you need. A toilet ceiling exhaust fan is best chosen with an overrun timer, so the device keeps running for a set time after the light is switched off.

What size duct does a ceiling exhaust fan need?

Blauberg ceiling exhaust fans connect to ducts with a diameter of 100 mm or 150 mm. The fan model is selected according to the ventilation project.
