Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining a fresh, healthy, and moisture-free environment, especially in bathrooms and kitchens where humidity, steam, and odours build up quickly. An exhaust fan is the simplest and most effective solution, but to get the best results, you must choose the right size and install it correctly.
As a trusted supplier in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, and across the UAE, KB Enterprises offers a wide range of high-quality exhaust fans designed for efficient airflow and durability.
Step 1: Measuring the Right Exhaust Fan Size
An undersized fan won’t remove enough air, while an oversized one may be noisy and consume unnecessary power. Here’s how to measure correctly:
For Bathrooms
- Formula: Multiply the room’s length × width × height (in metres) to get cubic metres.
- Multiply the cubic metres by 10–15 air changes per hour for bathrooms.
- Choose a fan with that airflow capacity (measured in m³/h or CFM).
Example:
A bathroom 2.5m × 2.5m × 2.4m = 15 m³
15 × 10 air changes = 150 m³/h capacity fan.
For Kitchens
- Kitchens require higher ventilation rates—about 15–20 air changes per hour due to cooking fumes and heat.
- For large kitchens, consider a wall-mounted or chimney-style exhaust fan.
Step 2: Choosing the Right Type
- Wall-mounted fans – Common in kitchens, directly vent air outdoors.
- Ceiling-mounted fans – Ideal for bathrooms with limited wall space.
- Window-mounted fans – Easy to install without major modifications.
Step 3: Installing Your Exhaust Fan
Safety Tip: Always switch off the power before starting installation.
- Mark the installation point on the wall, ceiling, or window.
- Cut the mounting hole using proper tools, matching the fan size.
- Install ducting (if required) for directing air outside.
- Mount the exhaust fan securely using the provided brackets or screws.
- Wire the fan to the power supply, ideally with a separate switch or timer.
- Test the fan to ensure smooth and quiet operation.
Step 4: Maintenance for Long Life
- Clean fan blades and grills regularly to prevent dust build-up.
- Check wiring and switches periodically for safety.
- Replace worn-out parts promptly to maintain performance.
