Bathroom Ventilation Fan

Control moisture in your bathroom with a ventilation fan and learn the specifics of installing a fan in a main-level bathroom.

Your home improvement questions, answered by professionals from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), an association of remodeling professionals committed to providing consumers with high standards of quality, honesty, integrity, and responsibility.

Can I add a ventilation fan to my main-level bath if I also have an upper level? How does it vent?

Many older homes were built without exhaust fans, requiring a window to be open to ensure ventilation. This is still allowed by our building codes, but in today's homes, it is preferable to install a proper-sized exhaust fan.

Many homeowners don't realize that as we improve our homes' insulation and reduce energy-wasting air leakage, our homes become even more dependent on mechanical ventilation.

This is especially true in bathrooms because of the abundance of moisture in the air from bathing and showering. As we improve our home's ability to be more energy efficient, the trapped moisture can cause everything from cosmetic wall and ceiling damage to more serious mold issues.

You might want to have a professional inspect your bathroom to see if there is a possibility of a hidden wall or ceiling pathway for air ducting that could lead to the roof. Many homes will have pathways built in for heating and cooling ductwork.

If there is no convenient way to vent your new fan up through the roof, you will need to have the fan vent through the bathroom's outside wall. Many of today's fans can be installed in either the ceiling or wall. How your home is constructed will determine if the fan can be in the ceiling or if it needs to be in the wall.

Installing the fan in a new location, especially penetrating an exterior wall, should always be handled by a professional. I would suggest either a licensed professional remodeler or an HVAC contractor. Creating a water-tight wall penetration and installing the necessary electrical connections need to be done just right to avoid serious repercussions.

Your installer should be able to provide a fan that will be sized properly for your bathroom. Keep in mind that bath fans can be noisy. All exhaust fans are rated for sound. They will have a numerical scone rating. Typically a rating of less than 2 is considered quiet. Many exhaust fans have much higher ratings and create much more noise. A noisy fan will be irritating and a constant reminder that someone didn't pay attention to this last important detail.

"I'd finally had enough," says Cathy Corley, of the 24 years she spent living with this pink-and-black bathroom in her Birmingham, Alabama, home. Not only was the color scheme aggressive, but a depressing block of black tile covered what had been the 74-square-foot space's only window. So, inspired by the charming 1920s loo in her grandmother's house, Corley decided to lighten things up.

She traded in her built-in tub for a vintage freestanding version and installed white tile and beadboard to create a neutral backdrop. For storage, Corley refurbished an old kitchen cabinet found at an antiques shop, then added pops of yellow to accent the newly painted gray-blue walls. "For so long, I wanted to love this room," she says. "Now I actually do."

Here's how she pulled it off:

Jean Allsopp

1. BATHTUB Corley salvaged this fixture from a junkyard and had it reglazed, all for only $300. A curtain trimmed in yellow adds a sunny note. ($250; matouk.com)

2. ALCOVE The existing arched nook created a room-within-a-room feeling that Corley liked. She just improved upon it by hiring a contractor to raise the arch, and the ceiling above the tub, by a few feet.

3. TILE The biggest upgrades? Classic subway tiles on the alcove walls ($5.95 per square foot; homedepot.com) and an octagonal pattern on the floor ($4.95 per square foot; homedepot.com for similar), both in crisp white.

4. CABINET A $190 vintage cupboard, freshened up with white paint, provides extra storage—and old-school charm.

Jean Allsopp

5. MEDICINE CABINET Corley had her contractor remove a chunk of wall so her $40 junk-shop cabinet would lie flush.

6. SINK Thanks to its timeless shape and good condition, the room's pedestal basin was the only fixture Corley didn't replace.

7. BEADBOARD To replicate her grandmother's bathroom, Corley requested that her contractor install white beadboard from the floor to above eye level on the walls outside the alcove. ($37.97 per 4'W x 8'L sheet; homedepot.com for stores)

8. PAINT Behr's Shale Gray, a steely shade that provides a dramatic contrast to the white fixtures, covers the remaining wall space.($37.88 per gallon; myperfectcolor.com)

9. WINDOW A $260 addition from the Home Depot allows daylight to naturally illuminate the area. "Before we installed the glass, this place was like a cave," Corley says.

6x6 Bathroom Layout

6x6 Bathroom Layout

Right this moment, the lavatory is far more than only a room for grooming and a spot to learn. Loos is usually a good place for residence exercise equipment and a good music system or TV, for instance. What better option to unwind from the day than a soothing shower or warm soak in the tub with candles and relaxing music. So start a pocket book. If you get a toilet designs thought, write it down. Soon you may have outlined 4×6 Bathroom Designs that's just right for you.

Lavatory transforming is a popular home improvement project that many householders undertake because the weather of loo design are so various that it is simple to make the bathrooms in the home truly unique. There are a number of various fixtures in the rest room, just like the sink, bathtub, bathroom, cabinets and mirrors simply to name a couple of, that any home-owner fascinated with remodeling the house should think about.

One of many first locations you may look for your undertaking is the ground. Tile is well-liked amongst owners not just for its affordability but for the fact that tile could be organized in certain patterns that can complement the remainder of the area.

Think about things like patterns of alternating shade and you will have a good suggestion of the place to start in your rest room flooring and the way it can match into the bigger overall scheme that you simply're aiming to perform together with your new 4×6 Bathroom Designs. The mirror is another part of the bathroom that many householders take into account when reworking their loos.

In the case of loo mirrors, the old saying that "larger is better" is usually true. Think about using a large mirror with a bold, colourful frame as a part of the centerpiece for your sink fixture. A big mirror with an eye fixed catching body can draw the eye of your friends to it and fool them into thinking the space is giant than it truly is when you have a big lavatory.

Trendy loos are all about what you do with the space you have got. Within many bathrooms there is little room to work with, so profiting from the area is important. That is why fitted bathroom suites at the moment are so well-liked. Having toilet furniture made to measure is without doubt one of the most practical design options when reworking 4×6 Bathroom Designs.

The country type lavatory is perhaps the easiest sort of design to create, and like the normal toilet only actually works nicely inside the correct house. The basic nation look is best associated with floral wallpaper, excessive beams, basin frills and a bath canopy. Following the normal design, cast iron baths and deep ridged sanitary ware are what gives the country bathroom its nostalgic look.

The Traditional lavatory can imply either conventional in terms of Edwardian or Victorian model, or in respect to a regular white toilet with primary sanitary ware and tub. Right here, we'll be looking at the style of toilet design the place it all started. The Edwardian toilet.
