Sufficient ventilation is vital to maintaining a comfortable and healthy living environment. Good airflow is even more crucial in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms. When overlooked, you could deal with water-related issues, such as mold growth, poor odor and rot.
Read on for tips on improving your ventilation in your bathroom.
Are you remodeling your bathroom? If so, consider adding more windows to the room to bring in fresh air. Ideally, windows should be across each other to encourage passive ventilation. Is privacy a concern? You can use frosted or decorative opaque glass or hang window treatments to shield your space from curious eyes. Placing windows higher on the wall is another way to maintain privacy.
Sometimes, installing additional windows is not an option. If this is the case, you might benefit from operative skylights. Besides improving the room’s ventilation, they can allow plenty of natural light without compromising your privacy. Moreover, you can have professionals carefully assess your space to determine if adding a skylight is possible.
Investing in high-quality exhaust fans is another option for improving airflow in your bathroom. They remove humid air and odor from the room, helping prevent mold growth. Exhaust fans can also keep your bathroom smelling fresh. When choosing exhaust fans, consider size, noise levels and energy efficiency. Regularly cleaning the fan blades and ensuring the vent is unobstructed are essential for maintaining optimal performance.
