Whether you're planning a complete bathroom renovation by installing a new bathroom vanity, bathtub, faucets, accessories and fixtures, or just making a few smaller changes to improve the overall look and function of your space, experts say it's important to remember ventilation.

Bathrooms, especially those equipped with steam showers, need proper ventilation for several reasons. Fans help to keep moisture to a minimum and avoid the growth of mold, mildew and other bacteria that can lead to allergies and other health problems. In addition, a properly ventilated room will look better over time.

The good news for those looking for a bathroom ventilation option is that there are now many new types of systems available, including one that incorporates a powerful bathroom fan into a regular recessed light.

NuTone's new fan lights disappear into the ceiling with other recessed lights, to provide a practical and attractive way to control humidity in a bathroom.

Not only does this product serve two purposes by lighting and ventilating, but it is also available with a humidity-sensor that automatically turns the fan on and off, as needed.
