Bathroom Ventilation
Bathroom ventilation fans for your home
Bathroom ventilation is incredibly important to prevent unsightly mould and grime. Bathrooms can produce mould and mildew anywhere that harbours warmth and moisture. It is the perfect environment for bacteria to grow. The humid air and damp environment encourage bacteria to grow around your taps, in the corners of your shower and over tiles, around the mirror and on the ceiling. Without proper ventilation in your bathroom, mould will grow. The bathroom is one of the most important areas that require sufficient ventilation in any residential or commercial property.

What is bathroom ventilation?
Bathroom ventilation usually involves an exhaust fan. This type of ventilation system is powered by electricity to actively remove the moisture in the air. Humid air is drawn out by the exhaust fan and replenished with fresh air. Hot showers can bring about an immense amount of steam, leaving walls and ceilings wet. This is where ventilation fans can help. The fans will reduce the risk of mould and mildew, lowering the need to actively and frequently dry and clean your bathroom.
Bathroom ventilation fans also aid in removing strong odours from cleaning chemicals trapped inside bathrooms and help avoid the headaches that come with inhaling bleach and other cleaning products.
As bathrooms are typically enclosed and windowless, an extractor ventilation fan can help with air flow.

The benefits of bathroom ventilation
- Prevent increased symptoms of asthma and allergies
Bathroom ventilation installation is recommended to prevent mould, humidity, and dampness, which can lead to asthma and allergies. Insufficient ventilation is the number one contributor to the growth in mould and mildew. If ignored, mould spores can be inhaled or cause skin irritation. In addition to ventilation fans, it is important to open doors, windows and the shower door after using the bathroom to allow airflow and steam to escape.
- Fight mould build-up with an extraction Fan
By reducing the growth of mould in your bathroom through ventilation fans, you can save time cleaning the gaps in between tiles and the silicone surrounding your bathtub and taps. When mould appears in the silicone, it can be far deeper than surface level, making it difficult to truly remove the mould. In some cases, you may have to replace this damaged silicone with new sealant. Therefore, by installing a ventilation fan, you can prevent rapid mould growth allowing you to stay on top of your bathroom cleaning routine.
- Stop your mirrors from fogging up
A small, but sometimes very frustrating concern in your morning routine is the mirror constantly fogging up after the shower. Even after wiping it down with a towel, it still does not seem to get rid of the steamy mirrors. Having bathroom ventilation fans installed, will allow you to get ready in the mornings without having to relocate to a different room to do your hair or put on makeup in the mirror.

What is the difference between normal exhaust fans and Riteflo’s ventilation system?
Typically, exhaust fans must be operating for approximately 20 minutes after the bathroom has been used to allow for adequate ventilation. Forget to leave the fan on to allow for proper ventilation and you run the risk of mould build-up. However, with a RiteFlo self-propelled ventilation fan, you don’t need to worry about when or how long your ventilation system has been on for. RiteFlo’s self-propelled bathroom ventilation fans function without being turned on as they don’t require power. Additionally, in most homes, ventilation fans are connected to the lights. Therefore, by leaving the fan on to ventilate the space even when you are not using it, will also mean that you are leaving the light on. This will unnecessarily increase the costs of your electricity. When taking into consideration the time of the shower and leaving the exhaust on for a single person every day, the expenses begin to add up. This also does not take into account the rare occasion that we may forget to turn off the fan following the required 20 minutes. Most exhaust fans are also incredibly noisy when turned on. RiteFlo bathroom fans have are cost-efficient and ultra quiet. Once installed, RiteFlo’s fans work to reduce the mould in your bathroom 24/7, all without electricity. The dual rotational fans operate with the slightest drop in air pressure and are whisper quiet. You will forget you had them installed in the first place.The cost of RiteFlo’s bathroom ventilation fans

FAQ
Q: How do I stop mould in my bathroom?
Q: Do bathroom exhaust fans need to be vented outside?
Bathroom ventilation fans must always exhaust to the outdoors. Never allow the duct to simply blow into an attic, crawlspace or other enclosed area as that will simply transfer humidity and mould elsewhere.
Q: How much does it cost to install a bathroom ventilation fan?
In Australia, a bathroom fan installation will cost around $350, but how much you can expect to pay depends on whether you’re upgrading an existing fan or if you need to install roof vents, run new wires and fit humidity.
RiteFlo’s self-propelled bathroom fans don’t require power, so an electrician won’t be needed. If the hole is already in place, it’s simply a matter of removing the old fan and replacing it with a new one.
