How To Choose A Bathroom Exhaust Fan

bathroom exhaust fansA bathroom exhaust fan can be a great addition to any bathroom for both its utilitarian and aesthetic strengths. The primary purpose of a bathroom exhaust fan is to reduce odor and humidity from the room, regulating the atmosphere. There is an additional need to cut down humidity in the bathroom as the regular moisture released in the air during bathing and showering can cause mildew buildup and damage to the walls and ceiling if left unchecked.

The choice of model depends on which features the homeowner wants to include, such as a light fixture and/or a timer. Bathroom exhaust fans with lights are a good idea if the room has inadequate overhead lighting, or if you want to camouflage the fan so that it matches the rest of the décor. A timer will enable you to maximize the humidity-reducing function of the exhaust fan even on forgetful days.

Not just any fan will do the trick. The right fan depends on the dimensions of the room, and must meet certain specifications. The Home Ventilation Institute recommends bathroom exhaust fans that move air at a rate of one cubic foot per minute per square foot. A minimum of 50 cubic feet per minute is suggested for even the tiniest bathroom, to ensure that air is moved enough to prevent moisture buildup. Very large rooms, in excess of 100 feet, should have a fan, which moves 50 CFM for each fixture (tub, toilet, etc).

Panasonic bathroom exhaust fans come in a wide range of models at affordable prices. Panasonic fans are designed to sustain up to 100,000 hours of continuous use, and are known for their low noise levels. Energy efficient models are also available, keeping with the increasing demand for home appliances, which place limited strain on environmental resources. The Panasonic website also features a questionnaire, which helps consumers narrow down their options by entering data about the dimensions of their room and their desired features for a bathroom exhaust fan.

If you are a detail-oriented home decorator, once you have determined the right model in terms of function you can consider the choices for a bathroom exhaust fan light. Exhaust fans can be ornamented with traditional or modern style light fixtures, and ordered in colors that complement your bathroom’s palette.

A bathroom exhaust fan is a cost-effective addition to your home because they are also relatively simple to install. The little time and money required to upgrade your bathroom with an exhaust fan will protect its more expensive design elements by preventing mold and maintaining a pleasant atmosphere.
