NuTone Ventilation Fans—Selection Guide

What you should consider when buying a bath fan or home ventilation system.

Steamy mirrors, damp walls and fogged windows.They’re more than annoying. They could indicate developing problems like mold and mildew, ruined insulation, and wood rot. Spot ventilation solutions from NuTone clear the air quickly and efficiently removing potential problems before they invite themselves into your home.

What’s in stays in today’s airtight homes.

Today’s homes are built airtight for efficiency. But that means moisture and airborne pollutants stay where they are unless they are vented away. Eliminating excess moisture keeps your home dry and comfortable and can help avoid mold and mildew. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) “outgas” from construction materials such as plywood, carpet, fabric, paint, adhesive, insulation and other

common items. Allergens, dust, cooking vapor and what the kids bring home from school are more reasons why good ventilation is critical.

Which product is best suited to my application?

Take a moment to consider what you’re looking for in a spot ventilation product. Do you want quiet operation, a powerful blower, decorative designs or something that’s virtually invisible? Could you use more light, or ventilation in a walk-in closet? NuTone has what you need.

Sones measure the “sound level” of your fan.

A sone is a measurement of sound in terms of comfortable hearing level for an average listener. The lower the sone value, the more comfortable the environment. Sones are not decibels or volume, but rather how sound is “sensed.” One sone is half as loud as two sones, and is equivalent to a quiet refrigerator.

What “HVI certified” means to you.

The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) is an independent organization that certifies the airflow and sound performance claimed by manufacturers of ventilation products. NuTone certifies every product through HVI to ensure the product you purchase will perform as claimed.
