What should I do if the bathroom has no window? Don’t panic when you encounter a secret guard, we will teach you how to improve ventilation and lighting

Ventilation and lighting , these two points have a vital impact on the quality of daily life, especially in bathrooms that are prone to moisture. If ventilation and lighting are not good, it will be a bad existence for the indoor environment. Therefore, when encountering a bathroom without windows (referred to as a \”secret bathroom\”), the first problem to solve when decorating it is to improve the ventilation and lighting of the bathroom. Today, let me talk about how to improve the ventilation and lighting of the dark guard!

1. Improve ventilation issues

For bathrooms without windows, the ventilation problem requires the use of ventilation and exhaust equipment to promote space flow. In terms of promoting air flow, you can use exhaust fans, fresh air systems, etc., and then choose When designing the bathroom door, you should also consider the amount of air intake.

①Exhaust fan

The secret guard has no windows and cannot install an ordinary style exhaust fan, but We can install PVC pipes on the ceiling,

▲ PVC exhaust pipes are installed on the ceiling.

Then make a hole in the wall at a suitable location, connect the PVC pipe to the outside, and then use a top exhaust fan to exhaust the air.

▲Install an exhaust fan on the dark ceiling.

②Fresh air system

If your home has a fresh air system installed, you can also add an air vent to the bathroom to improve the space exchange in the bathroom space.

▲Fresh air outlet.

③The bottom of the door gap should be large

If there is no window in the bathroom, an exhaust fan should also be installed. Consider the issue of air intake. After all, it is impossible for an exhaust fan to vacuum the bathroom, so there must be corresponding air intake. Generally speaking, the effect of an exhaust fan for secret guards is related to the power of the exhaust fan, the length of the exhaust pipe, and the amount of air intake.

▲If the exhaust fan has a window, it can circulate air.

If there is no window in the bathroom and the door gap is tightly closed, the exhaust fan will idle and not pump air. Therefore, it is necessary to enlarge the bottom door gap, add a shutter door to the bathroom door, and make the door gap smaller. Use large barn doors to increase air intake.

▲Barn doors with large door gaps can be added to increase the air intake.

2. Improve lighting issues

Bathrooms without windows are relatively dark inside, and there is an urgent need to improve lighting. When it comes to lighting, on the one hand, we must find ways to promote the entry of natural light into the room, and on the other hand, we must create a sense of dim space. , on the one hand, the space must be brightened through lighting design.

①Glass door

When choosing a bathroom door without a window, you can consider choosing a light-transmitting door The impermeable glass door allows natural light from the room to enter the bathroom. At the same time, in order to increase the air intake of the exhaust fan, you can consider customizing a bathroom glass door with a shutter, which should be relatively expensive.

▲The double-layer glass frosted door of the bathroom can transmit light but not let people in.

②Simple space

In a bathroom without a window, the entire space should be designed as concisely as possible. Don’t over-clutter the space. Even if there is a trace of light in the space, it will easily appear bright.

▲Simple space is brighter.

③Light color

In the details of the walls, floor tiles, furniture and other details of the dark guard, you can Choose lighter colors to brighten up the space.

▲Light-colored spaces are also brighter.

④Lighting design

In a dark room with no natural lighting , you can also add brighter lamps to the lighting arrangement to make the space brighter; you can also adopt a multi-light source design to allow the space to better control the brightness effect.

▲If natural lighting is not available, lighting design must be used to improve it.

Concerning the secret guard\’s method of improving ventilation and lighting, the above is a summary of my experience. You can refer to it and design a plan suitable for your own house based on the actual situation of your home.
