    Making my own spray tan booth

    Hi This will "help" with overspray but won't stop it. The extractor is way too small, the top is open and you have to stand outside and spray in. The only way something like that would work is if have a covering on the top and a very good extraction unit at the front to stop the overspray...

    Extraction Fan

    Hi, Take a look at the selection of units from Ravair Ltd, www.ravair.co.uk, used by training centres and colleges all over the UK and Ireland including by CND. Much less expensive than VODEX and with 330m/3 suction much more powerful. I believe their Easter Sale starts on Monday.

    Health Concerns

    Hi, It is never safe for you as the therapist or the the client to breathe in all the nail dust and vapours created by nail or lash treatments. Odorless Monomer is more dangerous as you can't smell the hazard! If you open windows etc all you do is vent the toxic air outside into the environment...

    Tanning salon ventilation

    Hi, Any reduction in the ceiling height, (suspended ceiling) will increase the heat in the remaining space and any venting outside will cause environmental damage. Better air purification and circulation would help along with an air cooling unit. Give Ravair Ltd a look, www.ravair.co.uk or email...

    Salon ventilation - legal requirements?

    Hi Gianluca, As you already know the hazards of toxic beauty products are well recognised and for someone in a poorly ventilated room working with these products on a regular basis it is almost certain to have health implications. If you take a look at www.ravair.co.uk or call Ravair on...

    Extractor fans

    The vapours and smells from Acrylics and some other nail products are very toxic and harmful to humans and pets. An odourless system still has these products in them so could be more harmful as you don't notice it so much. You will need a unit that has Activated Carbon Filters to remove these...

    Ventilation/extractor fans

    This unit only states that it is 75w power. This may be ok for the Australian Health Authorities but would not pass a UK Inspection. It would need an Independent LEV test proving at least 1mt per second downdraft. All Ravair Ltd Units are supplied with Independent LEV Lab Reports and...

    Hi Are you sure you ordered from Ravair, they didn't have a order for a wall mounted unit yesterday

    Ravair Reviews/Opinions.

    Hi, The Ravair Desktop Unit is a great unit but it depends on the size of the room. If the room is small ((up to 12m3) with the door not opening and closing regularly it is great, so not suitable for a salon, even if only one desk. If the room is larger up to 20m3 then you will need the Ravair...

    Odourless acrylic systems

    These vapours from the monomers are very toxic and dangerous to health, not only to your husband and dogs but to you. If you vent them outside they will also damage the environment and pollute the air. Odourless monomers produce the same toxic vapours and are more dangerous as you don't realise...

    Minimising monomer smell?

    Hi Thank you for your detailed reply. "I don't know the standard you are referring to, I'm not an expert, however if you saying the downdraft has to be 1 cubic meter per second, it doesn't seem credible. That would make a whooping 3600 cubic meters per hour, which is an overkill for an at home...

    Minimising monomer smell?

    Hi, again with all respect, I am not distorting facts. I am merely stating that the logic of having two units for two different applications is better than having one dual purpose unit when the different applications need different suction speeds. The machine you refer to "compromises" airflow...

    Minimising monomer smell?

    Hi, All of you are correct in saying two different units for two different applications. Nail dust can range from very large pieces shaved with a ceramic e-file to microscopic microns. The only way to remove these microscopic particles from your breathing space is to capture them before they can...

    Minimising monomer smell?

    Hi, Take a look at Ravair Ltd, they have several machines for different size rooms that will remove the smell of monomer and also Virus.

    Neighbours complaining about smell of acrylic

    An air purifier will never be enough to remove these vapours, and "glade" is just a chemical product that tries to mask the smell. Odourless products can be just as harmful to you and your staff through long term exposure. and you don't know it. The smell from the vapour is a good thing as you...
