Decorative Fans Venting Bathroom Fan???

Venting bathroom fan??? - decorative fans

Finally began the transformation of my bathroom, a small bathroom next to the bedroom with oversized shower, wash basin and a bathroom. There were no fans there, and every time someone takes a shower in the bathroom was pretty blurry (even with an open window.) I am an upper floor decorative Huntington Bay fan has high, low noise and light. I want to install before the shower, is the problem that is directly over my bathroom is a relatively large attic, and is not used for 2 to 4 feet high and wide. There is nothing more than two groups of fours and a degree of protection of fiberglass. Then I put the fan with the exhaust pipe directly on the floor? Or is it a NO NO? What alternatives are there for me? Big thank you!

Never bathroom vent fan in the attic, a cavity. Thus, a further blow will cause to collect in the attic and do all sorts of other problems. It is relatively easy to ventilate your attic through the roof or through your sofet system. Depending on how your house will be presented.

We just sold a home and friends with a home inspector. He told us, is considered a defect in the house if they are poorly ventilated and can be a red flag to a buyer.

It is generally a good idea to go ahead and exhaust fan on the side of the attic. Direct vent in the attic will significantly increase the humidity in your attic that, depending on where you live or not a big problem. It could enable the fungi. It is cheap to do, well, that the good side, I go ahead and add some ventilation ducts and hoses running on the side of the gable or soffit.

No fan should ventilate the attic. The moisture in the air leads to problems in the attic. You need the ventilation shaft or outer wall or ceiling. Be sure to seal the opening, where you are.

Never bathroom vent fan in an attic. Duty cycle and fan when the ceiling fan. Set intermittent ventilation in the roof by under your shingles. Put a rain at the beginning of the opening.

The fans were scattered on the ground, probably not a big problem. I do not know if all details can be, so hopefully someone with more knowledge to help you, I just know it was made.
