Bathroom Ceiling Fans

There are certain things you will need to take into consideration when you are buying yourself a new bathroom ceiling fan. A bathroom ceiling fan needs to be different from an indoor ceiling fan or outdoor ceiling fan for one simple reason - bathrooms are hot and extremely moist.

Here is a short checklist for when you are selecting a new bathroom ceiling fan for your home.

  • Is it waterproofed?
  • Do the company guaratee it from shortages?
  • How high are you ceilings?
  • Do you tend to bath / shower with ventilation?
  • Do you intend on using the bathroom ceiling fan to cool the room down?

If you want to use your bathroom ceiling fan to move air around the room whilst showering or bathing, then you need to only buy a ceiling fan that is certified to work in very moist conditions. Moisture in the air, generated while you shower, will accumulate on the body of the bathroom ceiling fan. It should be water resistant in order to guard against any electrical shortages.

While a good bathroom ceiling fan will be more than able to cope with the moist air, we would not recommend to fit one above a shower. Apart from the fact that even the best bathroom ceiling fans will have a tough time dealing with the incredibly moist airing rising from the shower, you may also injure yourself when washing your hair!

Bathrooms are not renowned for their expansive areas, so it is very important to measure the space you have. You can get guidance for this part of the process on our page about sizing ceiling fans. Remember, any bathroom ceiling fan you buy really should come with a manufacturers warranty and guarantee to certify it's ability to work properly in a bathroom.
