I have written an easy <a data-lasso-id=\"455\" href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/choose-bath-fan\/\">6 step guide to finding the correct bathroom fan for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ductless models are intended for rooms <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ductless-bathroom-used-shower\/\">without showers<\/a> or bathtubs where there is no need for ventilation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Moisture Removal Is Necessary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a reason why <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/are-bathroom-fans-a-legal-requirement-bath-vent-code-in-plain-english\/\">bathroom ventilation is mandated<\/a> by the powers controlling building design and construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Built-up moisture can cause serious damage to wood, wallpaper, and other items inside the bathroom if left unchecked. This could mean spending money to repair these items more often than you would have needed to if the room had proper ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse, however, is the potential for <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-to-prevent-mold-in-the-bathroom-three-steps-to-keep-mold-away\/\">mold<\/a> and bacteria to grow in the bathroom, causing respiration issues, allergic reactions, and other potential illnesses just through using the affected room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive moisture can even make its way beyond the superficial surfaces in a bathroom and weaken rafters and joints, creating serious structural issues over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When trying to remove moisture from a room, the best way to naturally achieve ventilation is to open a window and a door as far from the window as possible to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/bathroom-fan-cool-house\/#How_to_Create_a_Cross_Breeze_with_One_Window\">cross breeze<\/a>. However, in a bathroom, this method eliminates privacy, which is not optional for almost everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>For more information on why bathroom ventilation is necessary, you can visit my article on <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/why-no-ventilation-bathroom-terrible\/\">why not having it is so terrible<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ductless-bathroom-fan-for-shower\">Ductless Bathroom Fan For Shower<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A ductless bathroom fan should never be installed in a shower cubicle. Putting it closer to the source of the steam will not make it any more effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we discussed earlier, they do not remove moisture. You can run it while you shower, but you will not see any noticeable difference in the amount of steam lingering in your bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that they are useless when installed in a shower cabinet\/corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Showers Need Ventilation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Ventilation?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ventilation is the removal of &ldquo;old&rdquo; and stale air from a room and the provision of &ldquo;new&rdquo; and &ldquo;clean&rdquo; air to a room or building. The fresh air supplied to the room comes from outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s important to <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-bathroom-fans-should-be-vented\/\">properly ventilate a bathroom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the ventilation needed for bathrooms and showers is intentional. You are purposely ensuring that there is a fresh supply of air to the room, while the old air is removed from the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is It Important?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having good ventilation is important to maintain good air quality within your house. Ventilation gets rid of odors, dust, moisture, and pollutants in your home. Then this &ldquo;dirty&rdquo; air is replaced with cleaner air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In bathrooms with bathtubs and showers, ventilation is important as it also serves the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/how-bathroom-fans-reduce-humidity\/\">essential function of removing steam<\/a> and heat from the room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan.jpg\" alt=\"Steam inside the bathroom removed by a bathroom exhaust fan\" class=\"wp-image-22174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Steam inside the bathroom removed by a bathroom exhaust fan\" class=\"wp-image-22174 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Steam-inside-the-bathroom-removed-by-a-bathroom-exhaust-fan.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When there are high levels of humidity and condensation in a bathroom, it encourages mold and mildew to grow, and the moisture can cause structural damage in your home.

Activated charcoal is incredibly porous, and these pores are where the gasses and odors are trapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This does mean that the filters can fill up as it were. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/carbon-air-filters-how-work\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"21314\">Charcoal filters<\/a> have long lifespans and are incredibly easy to replace. However, excessive moisture can compromise them by wetting the charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ductless bathroom fans are good at absorbing odors and other particulates and certain gases from the air but don&rsquo;t do much in the ways of helping to remove moisture from the air, so they are not a viable ventilation option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since ventilation is so important in a bathroom with a bath or shower, you can only use ductless bathroom fans successfully in half-baths that only have a toilet and sink.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under some circumstances, running an exhaust system out of the building is difficult or impossible, so being marketed a ductless bathroom fan can be very alluring.
