Fan performance is measured in air movement or cubic feet per minute (CFM). For effective performance, choose a fan that moves at least 1 CFM per square foot of the room. For example, a large bathroom (100 square feet) benefits from an exhaust fan with a CFM rating of 101.
Bathrooms can get hot and humid after a shower or bath, and a ventilation fan is an important feature to improve air quality and prevent moisture damage. Find the best bathroom ventilation fan for your needs at Lowe’s, where our selection includes Broan bathroom fans, Panasonic bathroom fans and more.
The most important factor to consider when choosing a bathroom exhaust fan, or bathroom extractor fan, is the size of your bathroom. A fan without enough power to handle your bathroom’s square footage could leave moisture lingering in the air. Keep in mind that if your toilet is in a separate room within your bathroom, that room probably will need its own fan.
Other important factors to consider include how loud a particular exhaust fan is and the amount of energy it uses. Bathroom fan sound is measured by sone. Most people prefer a quiet bathroom fan with a sone rating of 1 or lower. If you’re looking for an energy-conserving option, filter fans by whether they’re certified by ENERGY STAR®.
Most bathroom exhaust fans mount on the ceiling and vent through the attic or roof. However, it’s not always possible to vent a bathroom this way, and you may need a wall-mount exhaust fan. Filter your search on Lowes.com by your mount location by choosing “wall” or “wall or ceiling.”
You can also specify the look you want your fan to have and choose from options with clear, alabaster, amber or frosted glass. If you’re unsure where to start, take a look at the top-rated fans to learn what other shoppers consider the best bathroom exhaust fans.
You don’t have to settle for a basic bathroom exhaust fan. With bathroom fan heaters, lights and other built-in features, your fan can do more than remove muggy air. Some fans even play soothing sounds for a relaxing ambience.
If you want to brighten your space and remove moisture from the air, a combination exhaust fan and light for bathrooms is great choice. You can filter your search on Lowes.com by the type of bulb you prefer, such as LED or incandescent. Some fans feature a general room light, while others have a night light to help you find your way in the dark. For even more convenience, consider models that use motion sensors or humidity sensors to activate automatically.
For extra warmth when you get out of the shower or bath, consider getting a fan with an integrated heater. If you love to listen to music or podcasts while bathing or getting ready for the day, shop fans equipped with Bluetooth speakers.
If you already have a bathroom exhaust fan that you like, but it needs repair, you’ll find what you need at Lowe’s. We offer many bathroom ventilation fan replacement parts, including bath fan switches, motors, exhaust vents, grille covers and more.
