City Plumbing sells a variety of ventilation products that are suitable for use in the bathroom.
Bathroom ventilation is essential for maintaining a safe home environment and should be a top priority for this space. A bathroom extractor fan installed in the optimal location for effective ventilation will promote a comfortable, healthy bathroom environment for all users.
Why Is Good Bathroom Ventilation So Important?
Bathroom ventilation is very important for several reasons:
- Preventing mould and mildew growth: Bathrooms are prone to dampness due to showering and bathing. This creates an ideal environment for mould and mildew to thrive. These can cause respiratory problems, allergies, and damage to the bathroom structure. Good ventilation here will help in removing excess moisture, thus reducing the risk of mould and mildew.
- Improving air quality: Bathrooms can harbour unpleasant odours and harmful pollutants. Ventilation helps remove these, creating a fresher and healthier environment.
- Protecting your home: Excess moisture can damage paint, wallpaper, and even the structural integrity of your home. Ventilation helps prevent this damage, preserving your investment.
- Enhancing comfort: A well-ventilated bathroom feels more comfortable and pleasant to use. It can also help regulate the temperature, making it more comfortable in hot weather.
What Are The Most Common Types of Bathroom Ventilation?
- Extractor fans: These are the most common type of mechanical ventilation. They use a fan to extract moist air from the bathroom and expel it outside. They're effective at removing moisture and odours but can be noisy and require electricity.
- Axial fans: These are best suited for bathrooms located near an external wall, as they extract air in a straight line.
- Centrifugal fans: These are more powerful and can be used for bathrooms further from an external wall, as they can push air through longer ductwork.
- Inline fans: These are installed in the ceiling or loft space and are very quiet, making them ideal for larger bathrooms or those where noise is a concern.
Where Should A Bathroom Extractor Fan Be Installed?
- On the ceiling or high on a wall: This allows the fan to effectively draw moist air upwards and out of the room.
- As close to the source of moisture as possible: Ideally, it should be positioned directly above the shower or bath, where most of the steam is generated.
- Away from the door: This prevents the fan from simply short-circuiting the airflow and drawing in fresh air from outside instead of removing the moist air.
Important considerations:
- Bathroom zones: Bathrooms are divided into zones that are based on their proximity to water sources. Electrical equipment, including extractor fans, must be installed in the correct zone to comply with safety regulations.
- Ducting: The ducting should be as short and straight as possible to maximise airflow and minimise noise. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the ducting.
- External vent: The external vent should be located in a position where moist air can be expelled safely away from the building, preventing damage and re-entry of moist air.
