SOUTHERN VIEW Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday March [Edition 20 datE] 2018 233 HOME & HEATING Bathroom ventilation The extraction of air from the bathroom should be a priority for all houses and commercial buildings. Bathrooms can generate a large quantity of steam and odours. It is important this compromised air does not circulate around the house. Bathroom odours can be unpleasant, especially when near living, sleeping or working areas. The moisture generated by showers and baths can be damaging to your home and furnishings and be a major contribution to condensation. Damp houses are not a healthy environment for anyone to live in, especially for children or other vulnerable people. By extracting air from the bathroom to outside, warmer air from inside the house will move in to the bathroom. Whereas opening a window can draw cold air into the bathroom and blow the smelly, moisture laden bathroom Ventilation Equipment Suppliers totrade retail 0800 SMOOTH (0800 766 684) sales@smooth-air.co.nz 351c Blenheim Rd Riccarton Christchurch 03 343 6184 & Smooth-Air has a wide range of ventilation equipment to bring fresh air into your home. Domestic Commercial Industrial air into the house. Modern houses are built to be very airtight and require mechanical ventilation such as extraction fans or heat exchanger systems. Although older houses can be draughty, the air often flows in the wrong direction. Therefore, they also usually require mechanical ventilation to keep the air quality higher. The quality of the air we breathe affects our health and ability to perform. We breathe in and out approximately 20,000 litres of air every day. It is therefore very important to ensure good air quality indoors through adequate ventilation. To ensure the quality of your air, contact the experts.
