TOP 5 mistakes that cause mold to appear and fail to remove the fungus

Installation of ventilation in the bathroom must be accurate. Otherwise, fungus, mold and unpleasant odors appear.

1. Incorrect calculation of the fan - the fungus cannot be removed
A fan that is too weak cannot cope with moisture. A strong one - makes noise and consumes more energy.
Solution: use air exchange formulas, take into account the volume of the bathroom.

2. Violation of air exchange - the mold returns again
No air flow - the hood does not work. Contaminated air returns to the room.
Solution: leave gaps under the door or install supply valves.

3. Unsuccessful installation location — fungus quickly returns
The fan is installed too low or near the window.
Solution: install closer to the ceiling, avoid sharp bends in the ducts.

4. Lack of noise insulation — ventilation creates discomfort
Metal ducts hum, interfere with sleep.
Solution: use flexible or noise-insulated air ducts.

5. Lack of maintenance — mold cannot be removed in the bathroom
Fan contamination — common cause of musty odor.
Solution: regularly clean filters, impellers, check the system.
