Hi Adam
Good looking build and it's nice to see another UK member on here.

Could you share the fan you purchased? I'm struggling to find a good one over here for my slightly smaller build than yours.

Also, I note you haven't gone for a mini-split unit. How are you heating the room? I've been musing over this for my build which will be in the ground floor of our 3 storey town house. It's currently heated with central heating radiator but it's always cold and I doubt I'll ever need to use anything to cool the air in there.

Thanks
Gareth

Hi Gareth,

I went for a Soler and Palau TD Silent fan: https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/S ... 0wodYCAIGQ

They do a range of sizes/power so you should find something suitable. Note that the fan itself is not silent though! I wouldn't want it in the same room, i have it in a separate partition.

I currently don't have any heating in the studio, I wondered about an electric heater when it started to get colder over winter, but I actually just changed my cloud lightbulbs to Halogens instead of LED and the place is so well insulated that the heat off them is enough! If my budget would have allowed a mini-split that would have been the ideal option, but what I have ended up with is certainly workable.
