Complete 2026 Guide: How to Choose the Perfect Casals Axial Extractor for Bathroom and Kitchen
Humid air, condensation, mould and persistent odours in the bathroom and kitchen are not just annoying – they affect your family’s health, hygiene and even the value of your property. A good axial extractor solves all these problems quickly and discreetly.
As the official exclusive importer of Casals in Romania, for over 33 years, at Ventilation.ro we know every model inside out and we know exactly which one works best in Romanian homes.
In this detailed guide we present all the popular Casals models: Erelis, Lidero, Kubalik, Kuvio, Tekstur and Tekstur Plus. You will discover the real differences, advantages of each model, how to calculate the required airflow and which extractor is the best fit for your needs.
Why proper ventilation in the bathroom and kitchen matters more than you think
- Prevents mould and condensation (main causes of allergies and asthma)
- Improves indoor air quality by up to 70%
- Quickly removes cooking smells and steam from showers
- Protects finishes, furniture and walls from excessive moisture
- Increases thermal comfort and reduces heating costs
A weak or poorly chosen extractor can create more problems than it solves. That is why Casals has developed a complete range – from ultra-slim models to high-airflow reversible fans.

5. Tekstur & Tekstur Plus – The luxury line Double textured front panel (no classic grille) – dust and grease stick much less, cleaning is extremely easy.
- Tekstuer 100 T comes with built-in timer.
- Tekstuer Plus has long-life bearings (>30,000 hours). The choice of customers who want premium quality and minimum maintenance.
How to calculate the required airflow in 3 simple steps
Practical rule used by installers:
- Small bathroom (4–8 m²) → minimum 50–80 m³/h
- Large bathroom or intensive shower (8–12 m²) → 100–150 m³/h
- Small kitchen → 150–250 m³/h
- Intensive kitchen (restaurant/canteen) → 400–1000+ m³/h
Simple formula: Room volume (m³) × 6–8 air changes per hour = minimum required airflow.
Example: Bathroom 6 m² with 2.5 m height = 15 m³ × 8 = 120 m³/h. → Choose a model of at least 150–200 m³/h for real comfort.
Common mistakes when choosing an extractor (avoid them!)
- Choosing a model with too low airflow for the room size.
- Ignoring the backdraft damper – odours from the sewer.
- Installing the fan in the wrong direction (against the airflow arrow).
- Buying a model without a timer for the bathroom (unnecessary electricity consumption).
- Not considering panel thickness when using a false ceiling (Erelis wins here).
- Buying without checking compatibility with existing ductwork.
