The bathroom is the room in every home where it is almost always humid. Moisture is a sure prerequisite for the formation of mold, mildew and the development of bacteria. Usually there are no windows in the bathroom, and in many cases there is no vent, which creates problems. If you have combined a bathroom and a toilet into one, the problem becomes even greater. Ventilation is required. All this makes ventilation in this room mandatory. And then bathroom fans come to the rescue.
Bathroom ventilation is necessary not only to provide fresh air, but also to remove the steam generated when bathing, using the bathtub or other water-related activities. Ventilation is mandatory in order to prevent the formation of moisture, condensation and mold in the room.
An important point when ventilating a bathroom or wet room is the choice of location for the fan. In order to achieve optimal air exchange and complete ventilation, it is advisable to place the fan at the farthest point of the room from the point of fresh air intake. If your bathroom is larger, we recommend that instead of one powerful fan, you install two with lower power, located above certain elements, for example, above the shower cabin and above the bathtub. This way you will guarantee better air exchange and faster removal of vapors from the room.
HOW TO CHOOSE A BATHROOM FAN?
The main criterion when choosing a bathroom fan is its flow rate - this is the amount of air that the device draws from the room in 1 hour. According to the standards, 90 cubic meters per hour are required for ventilation of a bathroom, 90 cubic meters per hour for a toilet, and 90 cubic meters per hour for a wet room.
The fan flow rate can also be determined as a function of the room volume and the air exchange rate. The air exchange rate is the number of complete air exchanges in the room per hour. The recommended rate for a bathroom is 5, and for a toilet - 7.
Another important criterion is the degree of protection against dust particles and moisture, which is indicated by the IP symbol and a two-digit code, with the maximum value being 68.
The diameter of the fan is also one of the important technical characteristics that determine its choice. Experts recommend that the unit has a mounting diameter of ∅ 100 or a maximum of ∅ 120. In general, the larger the diameter, the greater the noise.
Power consumption is also not to be ignored. Like all products in recent years, fans are becoming more and more energy efficient. Most manufacturers reduce the power consumption of their fans to 15-20W. With us you can find even more economical models.
It is desirable that the fan you choose has a so-called non-return valve. This valve will prevent odors and polluted air from the air duct network from entering your room. It will also prevent warm air from leaving the room through the fan.
The functionality of any appliance is most important, but the way it fits into the interior should not be underestimated. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the design and color of your fan so that it does not stand out like a patch in your bathroom.
HOW TO INSTALL A BATHROOM FAN?
The installation of bathroom fans can be done in several ways, but the goal is the same - quality ventilation of the room.
Here are two ways to install a bathroom fan:
- By using dowels and drilling holes in the wall. This method is not very practical and causes damage, and apart from everything else, it is also slow.
- By gluing with silicone adhesive for tiles and plaster. The glued fan is very firmly attached, and in case of eventual dismantling, the adhesive is easily cleaned and leaves no traces.
With more expensive models, the installation can be done even more elegantly - without drilling and without glue, but with the help of special sealants.
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
With us you can find bathroom fans with three possible connection sizes according to the diameters of the PVC pipes and the outlets of the ventilation ducts in buildings. We have models with ∅ 100, ∅ 120 and ∅ 150. In the spirit of fairness in our relations with our customers, to which we attach paramount importance, it is appropriate to point out here that in some bathrooms and toilets the PVC pipes are ∅ 110, which implies the installation of seals when installing the fans. In fact, you will need this wherever you buy a fan, since the dimensions are the same everywhere.
With us you can choose from a wide variety of bathroom fans. The models can be mounted on a wall, ceiling or suspended ceiling. In addition to the diameters, there is variability in design, shapes /round, square, rectangular/, colors, flow rate, noise level, power, degree of protection, price classes. As we have already noted, we have extremely economical models that consume even less than the recommended power. We also have models with the extremely high degree of protection IP54.
For consumers whose number one criterion when purchasing is quality, we offer models from the renowned brand in the industry SATA in the high price range. In addition to SATA, our sales list also includes models from MMOTORS, DOSPEL, VENTS, MUTLUSAN ELECTRIC and others. As separate products, we also offer fan valves in this group.
