Designing a Luxury Bath
with Bathroom Ceiling Vent Fans
You've spent hours pouring over magazines to find the perfect design for your new spa-like bathroom retreat. You've chosen the perfect tile, the whirlpool tub, beautiful faucets and luxurious shower sprays.
Don't stop there. Insist on Fantech ultra-quiet extractor fans for bathrooms or a bathroom fan with light to protect your new dream bath from the harmful effects of moisture, steam and odors.
The Ultimate in Design Flexibility plus Quiet Operation!
Don't let the roar of noisy bathroom ceiling ventilation fans disrupt your peace and quiet. Protect your bath and your sanity with Fantech Premium Bath Fans. Unlike standard extractor fans for bathrooms, the motor of a Fantech fan mounts away from the living area. The result is powerful yet quiet ventilation you can live with.
A New Level of Flexibility
No other bathroom exhaust fan in the market today offers more design flexibility at installation as these bathroom ceiling vent fans. Several exhaust grilles can easily be connected to one remote fan motor for effective spot ventilation in a single bath. Or, use one bathroom ventilation fan to ventilate two back-to-back baths.
Perfect Spot Ventilation
Small, unobtrusive Ceiling Grilles with or without Lights mount in the shower, over the toilet or over the whirlpool tub. These bathroom ceiling vent fans are the ideal way to exhaust contaminants quickly and efficiently while reducing the damaging effects of mold-causing moisture.
What Size Bathroom Extractor Fan do I need?
FAN SIZING FOR BATHS UNDER 100 SQ. FT.
According to the guidelines of HVI (Home Ventilating Institute) baths 100 square feet or smaller require one CFM per square foot of bathroom*. To find the square footage simply multiply the length of the bath by the width. |
EXAMPLE
7' x 9' bath = 63 sq. ft.
YOU WILL NEED
A 63 CFM FAN.
* Minimum 50 CFM |
 |
NOTE: For proper airflow in typical installations (when duct losses aren't calculated), use the 0.4"Ps (static pressure) rating point for correct fan selection. |
|
FAN SIZING FOR BATHS OVER 100 SQ. FT.
Ventilation for baths over 100 square feet is calculated based on the fixtures in the bath. Allow 50 CFM for each standard toilet, shower or tub. Whirlpool and jetted tubs are calculated at 100 CFM. Add up the CFMs for all fixtures and you'll have the total CFMs required. |
EXAMPLE
11' x 14' Bath = 154 square feet
1 Toilet + 1 Shower + 1 Tub = 150 CFM
1 Toilet 50 CFM
1 Shower 50 CFM
1 Tub 50 CFM
Total 150 CFM
YOU WILL NEED
A 150 CFM FAN. |
 |
NOTE: Fantech recommends that steam showers use a separate fan on a timer so that the fan may be shut off during shower use and then run afterward to dry the shower stall.
For proper airflow in typical installations (when duct losses aren't calculated), use the 0.4"Ps (static pressure) rating point for correct fan selection. |
