Bathroom and toilet exhaust fans
Proper ventilation in the bathroom and toilet is not only about comfort, but also about the safety of your home. High humidity in these rooms contributes to the formation of fungus, mold, and is also harmful to finishing and equipment. Installing an exhaust fan is an effective way to maintain an optimal microclimate and prevent the appearance of moisture and unpleasant odors.
Why do you need an exhaust fan in the bathroom and toilet?
Warm, moist air accumulates in the bathroom and toilet. That is why you need a bathroom fan with a check valve that blocks back draft and reduces the risk of unpleasant odors. Back draft from the ventilation duct can not only reduce comfort, but also cause the room to cool down in the cold season. That is why it is important that the hood is well thought out and effective.
Without proper ventilation, this leads to:
- the appearance of condensation on the walls and ceiling;
- the spread of mold and fungus;
- accelerated wear of finishing materials;
- decreased air quality;
- the proliferation of bacteria.
Exhaust fans ensure the effective removal of polluted air and the influx of fresh air, which allows you to avoid problems associated with humidity and odors.
Requirements for moisture-proof equipment in the bathroom
Only moisture-proof exhaust fans that can operate safely in high humidity conditions are suitable for a bathroom or toilet. Pay attention to:
- A reliable moisture-proof housing prevents moisture from entering the electronics, extending the service life of the device.
- Equipment with a check valve prevents air from the ventilation duct back into the room even in windy weather.
Such fans can operate even in difficult conditions, maintaining a long service life.
Exhaust fans - what power of a bathroom hood should you choose?
When choosing exhaust ventilation equipment, always consider the performance margin - this guarantees efficient operation even at peak load. At the same time, excessive power can increase the noise level, which is undesirable in residential premises.
The fan power parameter depends on:
- area of the room;
- frequency of use (bathroom + toilet require a more powerful device);
- average humidity in the apartment/house.
Calculation of approximate performance: 7-10 times full air exchange per hour. For example, for a bathroom with an area of 5 m² with a ceiling height of 2.5 m (volume 12.5 m³), the fan should provide at least 90-125 m³/h.
For small apartments, models with 90-100 m³/h are suitable, and for larger or shared bathrooms — from 120 m³/h.

Modern models of exhaust fans have a wide range of functional capabilities:
- Humidity sensor (hydrostat) — automatically turns on the fan when the set humidity level is exceeded.
- Timer — allows it to work for a certain time after the light is turned off.
- Return valve — prevents air from the ventilation duct from flowing back into the room.
- Axial fans — ideal for ventilation of small rooms.
- Models with a motion sensor — activated when entering the room.
These functions provide energy saving, increased safety and comfort, because the fan only works when needed.
Bathroom exhaust fan: installation recommendations
Install the fan in the upper part of the wall, closer to the shower or bathtub — where there is the most moisture.
The ventilation duct should be clean and have draft.
When connected via a light switch, choose models with a timer for additional efficiency.
In private homes, it is worth providing a gravity check valve to prevent blowing from the street.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and electrical safety standards.
