Jilly Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The builder and I are having conflabs: The kitchen extractor fan exits exactly into the cavity wall off the extension (my design fail!). Sooo, we have fashioned a duct with 100mm Manrose ducting to get round the awkward space, and stuffed insulation round it. (I thought the flimsy stuff could tear). However, I don't want it to exit close to the eaves vents of my precious cold roof under the porch overhang (builder and BC didn't mind but it seems counterintuitive to me). I want a chimney to duct away from the roof vents. However, I can see that we need it to be insulated (builder doesn't think so) as I think we could get condensation in the ducting. We are struggling to find a suitable 100mm product which looks good (Conservation Area) and doesn't let rain etc in Any ideas? It will have to have a total of 5 right angles (2 in the wall).

Mr Punter Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 If you have a duct running upwards in a cold space, there is a good chance that condensation will form and run back down. The insulation may not stop this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
