The iCON60’s shutter design helps reduce external noise ingress. Ideal for kitchens, it can be recessed or surface mounted into a wall or ceiling and there are a variety of coloured covers available to complement different surroundings.
One of the standout features of the QuietAir QT150 is its particularly low noise level. The VS model also offers various speed control when combined with the company’s speed controller dial.
“While the air quality of a home is of the utmost importance, the aesthetics can be too,” says marketing manager Grace Fraser.
“The iCON and QuietAir are part of a range of fans that have similar design features allowing for consistency across different rooms.”

New from Vent-Axia is the Lo-Carbon Calido, decentralised mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (dMVHR) unit, designed to help social housing landlords tackle condensation and mould while reducing energy bills. Offering up to 80% heat recovery, the Calido is designed for retrofit properties, allowing landlords to install discrete decentralised mechanical ventilation with heat recovery in existing homes.
Providing continuous ventilation, the new dMVHR unit is designed to remove stale air from any habitable room and replace it with fresh filtered air. Ducting enables the Calido to benefit more than one room at a time. If installed in a bathroom, for example, stale and moist air can be extracted and fresh filtered air then supplied to other habitable rooms.
The unit’s integrated cross-flow heat exchanger helps reduce the amount of heat lost from the property, as well as lowering carbon emissions. It recovers heat from the stale air that is being extracted to warm up the air that is coming into the property.
With changeable filters, the Lo-Carbon Calido can help provide clean air all year round. The unit comes with a replaceable filter that can be changed depending on the selected interval (three to 12 month options are available). A filter replacement indicator helps ensure continuous good indoor air quality.
With three air flow options, the Calido can be installed in many types of properties and its compact design means it will ventilate and recover heat quietly in the background. It can also be wall or ceiling mounted depending on space availability, making it ideal for many retrofit applications.
