Bathroom Exhaust Fan
I have an older home with a bathroom that has poor ventilation which
causes shower steam to coat the walls with moisture. In effect this yields unwanted mould on the bathroom ceiling and other places like tile grout and shower curtains. The differences between my bathroom and a large petrie dish are begining to blur. I have accepted the fact that I have to install an exhaust fan come spring time so I am begining to do a bit of research on the easiest method to install an exhaust fan in an older home. I came accross this PDF http://www.gov.ns.ca/energy/enerinfo/ventold.pdf which is a good start. After reading this I realized that the most effective way to install an exhaust fan is on an exterior wall, exhausting directly to the outdoors. Does any one see any potential issues besides a proper way to insulate? Looking forward to your replies. Rainer |
