Designed for rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens, the popular Monsoon UMD ticks all the right boxes when electricians are looking for exhaust and supply ventilation systems that require a fan that is powerful, energy efficient and quiet. Made in the UK, the market-leading UMD offers a high extract performance of up to 198m3/h allowing it to easily clear steam from bathrooms.
