The Benefits and Options of an Exhaust Ventilation Fan in a Bathroom

Exhaust ventilation fan located near a shower

If your bathroom has mold, mildew, deteriorated plumbing fixtures, peeling paint, failing drywall/framing or cabinetry and doors that are warped you could benefit from the installation of a ventilation exhaust fan. Even if a home has an operable window the humidity caused by showers/tubs, whirlpools and toilets can leave behind the harmful effects of moisture and bad smells.

In the article below learn the benefits and options of a bath ventilation fan and other key considerations in choosing the right fan for your home.

Benefits of an Exhaust Fan

When you install a fan in a bathroom remodeling project you will get the following benefits: 

• Improved indoor air quality – fans provide an environmentally friendly space which will lessen the chance of family health problems and make a fresher smelling bathroom.

• Reduce future maintenance and remodeling expenses – there can be a large cost to ignoring the harmful effects of too much humidity in a bathroom. Not removing humidity can cause mold, mildew and deterioration of walls, doors, ceilings, fixtures and cabinetry.

• Help to keep mirrors from fogging up – it’s certainly a nuisance to have to wipe down mirrors after taking a shower – a vent fan will dramatically lessen this problem

Key Considerations in Choosing a Ventilation Fan

Here are some important points to consider when sizing, locating and using your fan:

• Sizing – The CFM (cubic feet per minute of air movement) needs to be determined whether you’ve got a small or large bathroom.
• Location – Put your unit(s) near the tub/shower, toilet and whirlpool areas. If you have separate toilet rooms include a fan inside this space.
• Small bathrooms less than 100 square feet – The rule of thumb you should have 1 CFM of capacity for every square foot of space. So a 5’ x 7’ bathroom should use a fan that is 35 square feet (5 x 7).
• Larger bathrooms greater than 100 square feet – In these spaces add together a CFM capacity of 50 for each toilet, 50 CFM for each tub/shower enclosure, and 100 CFM for a jetted whirlpool.

• Using the fan – Leave the fan running for 20 to 30 minutes after you’ve used the shower

Product Options

One size does not fit all when it comes to a fan. When shopping for fans you’ll see several options including:

• Different size capacities

• Lights or night lights.

• Heating elements.

• Timer switches

• Humidistat for automatic operation

• Different noise levels.
