Designing a Luxury Bath

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 a Fantech ultra-quiet Premium Bath Fan or Fan with Light to protect your new dream bath from the harmful effects of moisture, steam and odors.

It’s powerful ventilation that you can live with.

Look for the Energy Star Symbol ...

Fantech is proud to partner with Energy Star to provide energy efficient bath ventilation products for your home. In fact, more than two-thirds of Fantech Premium Bath Fans exceed the minimum standards required for Energy Star Qualified products.

See Quick View Selection Guide to easily identify models that carry the Energy Star symbol.

Energy Star Ventilation Fans Must Have:
• Super Quiet Operation
• High CFM/Watt Motor Efficacy (100 CFM Fan: 2.8 CFM/Watt)
• May Qualify For Local Utility Rebate



The Ultimate in Design Flexibility and Quiet Operation!

Don’t let the roar of a noisy bath fan disrupt your peace and quiet. Choose an ultra-quiet, energy efficient Fantech Premium Bath Fan to protect your bath from the damaging effects of mold and mildew.

A New Level of Flexibility

Unlike standard exhaust fans, the motor of a Fantech fan mounts in a location away from the living area such as an attic. Small unobtrusive Ceiling Grilles, with or without lights, can be mounted in multiple locations over the shower, the toilet and/or the tub then ducted to the remote fan to quickly and efficiently whisk away moisture, steam and odors. One fan can also be used to ventilate two bath-to-back baths.

Bath Fans & Fans with Lights – Single Grilles

Clear the air in smaller baths and powder rooms with the help of a Fantech Premium Bath Fan or Bath Fan with Light.

A small-scale grille mounts in the ceiling while the fan motor mounts in a remote location away from the living area. The result is quiet yet powerful ventilation that is sure to protect your home from the damaging effects of moisture, steam and mold.


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.

Contractor Friendly Installation

Fantech Premium Bath Fans are “flex duct friendly” making installation fast and easy. We recommend:

1. Use insulated flexible duct. (Insulated flex duct allows sound from the fan to dissipate gradually so that it can not be heard in the bathroom.)

2. Ideally you should have at least 8 feet of flex duct between ceiling grilles and fan.

3. If applicable, use multiple ceiling grilles or ceiling grilles with lights.


Did You Know??

HVI (Home Ventilating Institute) recommends that the bath fan be left on for 20-minutes after the use of the bathroom.

ASHRAE ( American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) recommends that controls be installed on bath fans for low level continuous or intermittent ventilation.

Ventech Programmable Controls can do all that and more! (See below for complete description.)



Bath Fans & Fans with Lights – Dual Grilles

As the trend to larger spa-like bathrooms continues to gain in popularity, the need for proper ventilation becomes more important.

Gone are the days of a single bath fan in the center of the room. The key to proper ventilation in oversized baths filled with luxurious amenities is true spot ventilation at the source.

Quick removal of moisture at the source will keep your beautiful bath free of mold and the effects of extreme moisture.

Fantech has developed its Premium Bath Fans so that one remote mounted fan motor can effectively ventilate several areas of the bath.

Ceiling Grilles or Ceiling Grilles with Lights can be easily positioned over showers, whirlpool tubs, steam showers, toilet and vanity.


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 Jetted Tub = 150 CFM
1 Toilet 50 CFM
1 Shower 50 CFM
1 Jetted Tub 100 CFM
Total 200 CFM

YOU WILL NEED
A 200 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.

Think bathroom exhaust fans have to be loud to be effective?

Think again.


Do bathrooms fans have to sound like a wind tunnel to get the job done? The truth is, noisy bathroom exhaust fans lose much of their effectiveness, simply because people don't want to use them.

Fantech Bathroom Exhaust Fans.

Ventilation Solutions That
Really Let Off Steam.

Please note: The Home Ventilation Institute (HVI) does not currently have a sound test standard for remote mounted fans. Fantech fans are considered remote mounted fans because they are not mounted within the living area. As a result, Fantech is unable to list sone levels for our products. In most cases, a remote fan will be quieter than one mounted within the living area.
