A Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bathroom Exhaust Fan

Hey there, design enthusiasts! Today, Waldron Designs is diving into a topic that might not be the flashiest, but it's a game-changer when it comes to your home's well-being – bathroom exhaust fans. So, let's clear the air, quite literally!

Why Exhaust Fans Matter:

We get it – bathroom exhaust fans may not be the most exciting element of home design, but they play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy living space. These unsung heroes help to combat moisture, prevent mold growth, and keep your bathroom smelling as fresh as a pine forest.

Selecting the Right Size:

Size matters, especially when it comes to exhaust fans. Bigger isn't always better, and you want a fan that can efficiently handle the size of your bathroom. Our tip? Measure the square footage of your space and choose a fan with the appropriate CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating. This ensures optimal performance without overworking the fan.

Consider Noise Levels:

Nobody wants a bathroom fan that sounds like a jet engine taking off. We're all about tranquility, so opt for a fan with a noise level that won't disrupt your peaceful oasis. Look for models with a sone rating – the lower, the better. Your bathroom experience should be a spa-like retreat, not a noisy disturbance.

Energy Efficiency Is Key:

Sustainability is our middle name (well, not literally, but you get the idea). When selecting an exhaust fan, keep an eye out for the ENERGY STAR label. These fans are not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective in the long run. It's a win-win for your wallet and the planet.

Style Matters Too:

Who said functionality can't be stylish? Today's exhaust fans come in a variety of designs, ensuring that you don't have to sacrifice aesthetics for performance. From sleek and modern to classic and understated, there's a fan out there to complement your bathroom's design.

Installation Tips:

We know – installation can be a bit intimidating. But fear not, Waldron Designs is here to guide you. If you're not a DIY expert, consider hiring a professional to ensure proper installation. It's a small investment that pays off big in the long run.

So there you have it, folks – a crash course in bathroom exhaust fans. Choose wisely, breathe freely, and let your bathroom be the serene sanctuary it's meant to be. Until next time, stay design-savvy!

Waldron Designs was founded by Rachel Waldron (that’s me!). in 2013.

I am so happy designing that it is not unusual to catch me in a giggle as I rev up to do my work. I think of my designs the way that I think of my children- each is unique and has their own personality. It is my job to nurture them and help them grow, not define them.

I got my bachelor's degree in interior design from Washington State University - a CIDA-accredited school - in 2005, immediately moved into a leadership position and have continued designing with passion.

I received my MBA in Marketing in 2012 and launched Waldron Designs in 2013. When I am not designing, you will find me enjoying my precious time with my husband and two spectacular children.
