High-End Ventilation Considerations for your Next Home Build
Reading time: 4 minutes
A fabulous home offers more details than just eye-popping waterfall pools and commercial-grade kitchens. Prospective high-end homeowners seek architects or builders that consider every detail, including fixtures, finishes, and indoor air quality (IAQ).
In this article, you will explore how ventilation solutions by Fantech might have improved comfort and safety in this home if these products were selected and installed by the builder in the first place. Unfortunately, we do not know whether or not the solutions mentioned in this article were installed.
Take, for example, this home in Charleston, South Carolina. According to Zillow, this home is valued at $3.5 million. The home features three bedrooms, four bathrooms, a large closet in the primary bedroom, cathedral/vaulted ceilings, an elevator from the 3rd floor to the ground floor, a heated inground pool, and riverfront views of Wando River. It is eye-popping in every image.
Not every detail is evident to the untrained eye. For example, a person seeing this home for the first time may overlook the customization and detail this home offers. Such as the orientation of the house.
The Laundry Room
Like the kitchen, the laundry room has its own unique style. The soft teal cabinets and marine life accents are a nod to the breathtaking views of the Wando River. Seamlessly built-in washer and dryer units make the room feel more spacious, and plenty of cabinet space brings functionality and aesthetics together. However, the placement and layout of the laundry room might have caused some issues that needed to be addressed.
What issues can arise with poor placement of the laundry room?
The ductwork from the dryer to the outdoors could have been longer than standard length and had more bends/elbows, resulting in lint building up. As a result, this setup can lead to longer drying times and loss of pressure in the duct and could even cause a dryer fire.
Therefore, this custom home could benefit from a Dryer Exhaust Duct Power Ventilator (DEDPV) to increase dryer efficiency and avoid the risk of a dryer fire.
