Ventilation and lighting, these two points have a crucial impact on the quality of daily life, especially in the bathroom that is prone to dampness, if the ventilation and lighting are not good, it is simply a bad presence for the indoor environment. Therefore, when encountering a bathroom without windows (referred to as "dark guard"), the first problem to be solved when renovating is to improve the ventilation and lighting of the dark guard. Today, let me talk about how to improve the ventilation and lighting of the dark guard!
1. Improve ventilation problems
For the bathroom without windows, the ventilation problem needs to use the exhaust exhaust equipment to promote the flow of space, in terms of promoting air flow, you can pass the exhaust fan, fresh air system and the like, and then when choosing the bathroom door, you must also consider the air volume problem.
(1) Exhaust fan
Dark Guard has no windows and cannot install ordinary styles of exhaust fans, but we can install PVC tubes on smallpox,
▲Ceiling PVC exhaust pipe.
Then cut a hole in the appropriate wall position, connect the PVC tube to the outside, and then use the top suction exhaust fan to exhaust the air.
▲Install an exhaust fan on the dark guard ceiling.
(2) Fresh air system
If there is a fresh air system installed at home, you can also add an air outlet to the bathroom to improve the space exchange of the bathroom space.
▲Fresh air outlet.
(3) The bottom of the door slit should be large
If the bathroom does not have a window, the exhaust fan should also consider the air intake problem at the same time, after all, the exhaust fan cannot pump the bathroom into a vacuum, and there must be a corresponding intake. Generally speaking, the effect of the exhaust fan used by the dark guard 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, there can be a circulation of airflow.
If the bathroom has no windows and the door slit is tightly closed, the exhaust fan will be idle and not pumped, so it is necessary to increase the intake volume by increasing the bottom department seam, adding a shutter door to the bathroom door, and a barn door with a large door gap.
▲The barn door with a large door slit can be added to the intake volume.
2. Improve the problem of lighting
No window bathroom, the inside is also relatively dim, improve the lighting problem is also urgently needed, lighting on the one hand is to find a way to promote the entry of indoor natural light, on the one hand is to be after all a dim sense of space, on the other hand, through the lighting design to make the space bright.
(1) Glass door
Bathroom without windows When choosing a bathroom door, you can consider choosing a glass door that is light-transparent and opaque, so that the natural light in the room can enter the bathroom. At the same time, considering the increase inlet air volume of the exhaust fan, you can consider customizing a bathroom glass door with a louver door, which should be more expensive in terms of cost.
▲ Bathroom double glazed frosted door, light transmission is impermeable.
(2) Concise space
In the bathroom without windows, the entire space design is as simple as possible, do not arrange too full, and the concise space is easy to appear bright even if there is a trace of light.
▲The simple space is brighter.
(3) Light color
In the details of the dark guard's wall, floor tiles, furniture and so on, you can choose a lighter color to brighten the brightness of the space.
▲The light-colored space is also brighter.
(4) Lighting design
In the dark guard without natural lighting, brighter lamps can also be added when the lighting is arranged to make the space brighter; the design of multiple light sources can also be adopted, so that the space can better control the brightness effect.
▲Natural lighting is not available, and it must be improved through lighting design.
Regarding the method of improving ventilation and lighting of the dark guard, the above is some of my experience summary, you can refer to it, according to the actual situation of your home, design a plan suitable for the situation of your own house.
