rumi 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Top hung meaning the windows flip outwards? Then must u open the the windows by flipping outwards during installation and also in use? If there is rain then what happens? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
applefreak 1 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 yes the window flips outwards think they will install the fan onto the glass then the glass onto the frame only installing this sat so i'll know more when the time comes when using just switch on, no need to flip outwards it's only when not using then can choose to flip outwards my toilet windows are sheltered so rain no rain no difference Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rumi 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 hmm then how does the air flows out if the window is closed? Can I keep the louve windows intact without removing. Then attached acrylic board on top of the louve windows then attach the fan on the acrylic baord? But how does the air get out during circulation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then attached acrylic board on top of the louve windows then attach the fan on the acrylic baord? But how does the air get out during circulation? by mounting the fan on a acrylic panel(then onto the lourve window) - you cant achieve a 100% exhaust effect cos the lourve panels will block and "blow" back the air. which also means your acrylic panel will be dirty in the long run. by mounting on the glass = 100% exhaust cos nothing blocks. Long run only need to pull out the fan blade and wash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rumi 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 hi Mace, My toilet windows is louve kind. how to mount directly to windows? Do u mean remoeving each window glass pane, get someone to cut a hole on the glass window and mounting the fan up itself. Can this be done for louve windows? If it does, does it mean the louve windows have to be opened at all times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rumi 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Mace, sorry to ask so many questions. Since I have a lourve type window and I do not wish to spend money to change the window to a top hung. Can i just remove part 1 section of the louve windows and then mount an acrylic board to replace the windows and then mount the fan on the board. Need to cut a centre hole in the acrylic board right? In this case need to submit to HDB reno permit? But i see the KDK website says in hdb is not allowed. Is it true? "Other methods would be removing the window pane and fixing up an acrylic board or wooden board to replace the existing window panel. However, if you are staying in HDB, you are not allowed to do this due to HDB regulations. " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest our-home Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Hi MaCe and applefreak, Just wondering if it's a good idea to get a piece of acrylic, cut a hole, install the KDK fan, then mount the whole thing over the existing window - leaving the window permanently opened? Ours is a resale apartment. According to the Mgmt Office, it's ok to install at the window - they "think". But we want to try to keep the window intact without cutting the glass. Window is just one small top-hung (common bathroom): Hubby's on leave tomorrow, so we're heading to Kelantan Road to get the KDK fan and other stuff. What do you think?

What do you think? oops sorry didn't see your post if you leave the window permanently open, better don't get the fan coz the fan basically works best when the 'room' is sealed so the fan can suck out the moisture just like drinking with a straw that's got a lot of holes no suction power hey folks, I would like to have this done for 2 toilets 1. change existing louve windows to laminated glass top hung window, with the existing window frame remaining intact. not sure if the rest of u replace the entire glass and frames.
