Manrose is one of the most widely recognized ventilation brands in the UK, heavily favored by electricians and DIYers for their reliability and straightforward installation.

Their key fan products span several core categories depending on where and how they need to be installed:

Wall & Ceiling Axial Fans (Intermittent Extract)

These are standard, surface-mounted extractor fans designed to pull air directly out through a short wall duct or ceiling.

• XF100 & XF150 Series: The workhorses of the Manrose range. The XF100 (4-inch / 100mm) is the go-to standard fan for bathrooms and toilets, while the XF150 (6-inch / 150mm) provides the higher airflow rate required for kitchens and utility rooms.

• Gold (MG100) Range: Built with long-lasting ball-bearing motors, designed for high-performance use, and backed by a 5-year warranty.

Quiet & Low Profile Fans

Designed for modern homes where homeowners want minimal noise and a sleek, flush aesthetic.

• QF100 (Quiet Fan) Series: One of Manrose’s most popular lines. It significantly reduces noise levels (down to roughly 25-27 dBA at 3 meters) while keeping a strong extraction rate.

• Low Profile (LP100) Series: Features an ultra-slim front fascia tile that sits almost flush against the wall or ceiling, available in both white and chrome finishes.

Inline Mixed-Flow Duct Fans

Installed out of sight inside a loft space or ceiling void. They are connected between two lengths of ducting, keeping the noise out of the room entirely.

• MF100T / MF150T (Mixed Flow): The MF100T is widely considered one of the fastest-selling inline fans in the UK. Because they use “mixed-flow” technology (combining axial airflow with centrifugal pressure), they maintain high extraction power even across longer, winding duct runs.

• SF100 / Showerlite Kits: Complete installation bundles that include an inline fan, flexible ducting, external grilles, and sometimes an integrated LED downlight to mount directly above a shower enclosure.

Specialty & Continuous Ventilation

• Continuum (dMEV) Series: Decentralized Mechanical Extract Ventilation fans. Unlike standard intermittent fans that turn on and off with a light switch, these run continuously at a low “trickle” speed to combat ongoing dampness and boost to max speed when humidity rises.

• Window Fans (WF100 / WF150): Purpose-built kits with secure external housing designed to be mounted directly into a pane of glass.

Control Option Suffixes

When buying a Manrose fan, you will usually see letters at the end of the model numbers indicating how the fan is controlled:

• S (Standard): Operated via a remote switch (like your main bathroom light switch).

• T (Timer): Runs on for a set period (usually adjustable from 1–20 minutes) after the light switch is turned off.

• H (Humidistat): Automatically triggers or boosts when moisture levels in the room reach a certain percentage.

• P (Pullcord): Features a built-in pull-string on the chassis.

• PIR: Operates automatically via an infrared motion sensor.

• LV (Low Voltage / SELV): 12V fans supplied with a transformer, designed for safety when installing inside Zone 1 (directly above a bath or shower).
