Why do I need to have ventilation in the bathroom
Ventilation is necessary to create a healthy living environment. In damp rooms like the bathroom, good ventilation is extra important. This prevents health problems, but also problems such as strange odours, slipperiness, condensation and moisture problems including mould. Mould mainly grows in damp places and is not always visible. You can get rid of mould with baking soda, bleach or more persistent anti-fungal sprays, but this is only a short-term solution. To prevent mould and tackle it at its cause, it is necessary to ventilate the bathroom all year round. Moist air should especially not linger too long, especially if you like to take nice long showers.
What do you recognise a damp bathroom by?
- Condensation on windows, mirrors and/or walls
- Moisture spots on walls and/or ceiling
- Mould on the walls and/or ceiling
- Paint or plasterwork cracking or coming loose
- A musty smell
- A rusting radiator
How should I ventilate my bathroom?
To achieve ventilation in the bathroom, you need to provide exhaust air. You can do this using a bathroom extractor, a duct fan or a complete ventilation system such as mechanical ventilation or a heat recovery system. Which ventilation system you need, for example a bathroom fan with timer, humidity sensor or odour sensor, if you require guidence simply follow this guide. It is also important that there is a supply of air, otherwise the fan will not work.
Where do I place a fan in the bathroom?
You can't just install the ventilator anywhere in the bathroom. To prevent short-circuiting, it is good to know where you can mount the ventilator and which places you should avoid. On this page you will also find the electrical connections and associated wires of bathroom fans.
You can easily install a bathroom ventilator yourself. Watch the installation videos here.
