Since there are so many expenses you need to allocate for each and every day, treating yourself to a nice spa or short vacation would be the least of your priorities. However, with the simple tricks of exploring your bathroom, you can instantly have your very own version of a chill spot. One way to make your bathroom feel more enticing and comforting is by ensuring it has the best ventilation.
The easiest way to promote better ventilation in your bathroom is to simply crack open the windows whenever you take a shower, or do other bathroom businesses. Through this very simple step, the outdoor natural air could come in and replace the air circulating in the bathroom.
Another way is to take a look at your bathroom door. You might think how the door could possibly boost bathroom ventilation. But if it has at least an inch undercut, the air present inside this space could be augmented in a massive way. This is because the other areas in your home where adequate air supply is present could come into bathroom through the small undercut passage.
Finally, but not the least is the most common measure most homeowners employ – installing a bathroom exhaust fan. There are many types of fan specifically for regulating air inside the bathroom. The most favored one is the ceiling mounted or the centrifugal type. This sucks up the mildew in the air, which is redirected outward through an exterior pipe.
For bigger homes with more number of bathrooms, the typical choice would be a remote extractor fan. This works alike a central air conditioning unit, where ducts from the different bathrooms are connected to the fan located in attic or basement. The unit has exterior pipe as well so as not to contain and direct the air back into the house.
In choosing a fan, ensure to check its capacity, size, type and recommended set up. Take note of the guidelines on ventilation rates apposite bathroom space size given by the Home Ventilation Institute. The standard rate for rooms with exact 100 square feet measurement is 1 CFM per square foot. Bigger rooms with more bathroom fixtures need higher powered machines as the rate recommended is from 50 to 100 CFM to regulate ventilation around the toilet, shower and bathtub.
If you want to maximize the extraction of moisture while still saving on your electric bills, consider installing a humidity switch to go with your bathroom exhaust fan. This other switch performs as the regulator when the fan should be operated or not. If there is not much humidity produced by your bathroom activity, this switch sort of prohibits the exhaust fan to turn on.
Through simple hints, you can definitely enjoy the benefits of having better ventilation in your bathroom. For one, proper bathroom aeration would promote healthier and safer environment. Another is that all the unpleasant odors would be “unsmelled” of. And finally, moisture building up in the room would be avoided. The occurrence of molds, mildew and other forms of bacteria would be a thing of the past. Given these multifaceted advantages, you are then closer to having your very own truly relaxing personal space.
