A feature of every bathroom that most people take for granted is the exhaust fan. People often assume that the purpose of a bathroom exhaust fan is to remove odours. Sure, this is true, and while they do fulfil this function well, modern exhaust fans do much more.

The Key Benefits of Having an Exhaust Fan in Your Bathroom

While a ceiling or wall exhaust fan may be a simple concept, it delivers big on benefits.

Control Odours

One of the most basic functions of your bathroom exhaust fan is to remove odours from the bathroom. It is important to note that odours don’t necessarily mean bad smells. Some people are very sensitive to perfumes and scents, even those in bath and shower products. By using an exhaust fan, you can vent these odours outdoors and away, offering a more pleasant space for everyone to use and enjoy.

Remove Moisture

As well as removing odours from the bathroom, wall and ceiling exhaust fans prevent moisture build-up by drawing moist air out of the space before it is able to condense on various surfaces such as vanities, bathroom walls and other fixtures. Condensation can happen very easily, even if you’re not having a hot shower every night. Therefore, be sure to switch on your exhaust fan whenever you use the bathroom.

Prevent Mould

Allowing mould to build up in your home is not just unsightly, but it presents a significant health risk, especially for children, the elderly and the immuno-compromised. Because mould tends to grow where there is plenty of moisture, using a ventilation device, such as a wall exhaust fan, circulates air around and helps create an inhospitable environment for mould.

Finding the Best Exhaust Fan for Your Bathroom

It’s easy to see why an exhaust fan is an essential element of any bathroom. However, the market for exhaust fans is extensive nowadays. From standard ceiling or wall exhaust fans to more specialist products such as exhaust fans with lights incorporated to 3-in-1 exhaust fans, there are endless options available. As a result, picking the perfect exhaust fan for your bathroom can be a little trickier than initially thought.

It essentially comes down to appearance and features though. For instance, it has become popular to combine bathroom heaters with exhaust fans. The incorporation of a heating element not only helps keep the space dry and mould free, but a bathroom ceiling heater helps warm the space, even in the dead of winter. This can make getting out of the shower on a cold winter’s day all the easier.

Moreover, opting for a 3-in-1 bathroom heater means you get all the benefits of an exhaust fan, heater and light in a convenient package. You’ll also find 3-in-1 exhaust fans with a variety of different lighting options available, from warm hues to coloured light features. As a result, these devices have the power to transform the look of your space, in addition to being highly functional.
