Anybody with these?
I have been for two years and recently called to change policy cover to include 3 phase. Woman on the other end didn't understand the difference so I explained and she held me on hold while she spoke to the underwriters. When she got back to me she said as long as you are...

What external cover do you fit on a 4'' bathroom fan. Just fitted a cheap one that rattles in the wind. Ideal i want one that all louvers are joined together so shouldnt rattle as much.
