Air Quality = Better Quality Of Life

Indoor air quality is extremely important, something that needs to be taken into account in renovations and new construction alike. One way to keep the air inside your home healthy is to ventilate the moist air and odors created in the kitchens and bathrooms. Arguably two of the most important rooms in the home, the kitchen and the bathroom are also the two most important rooms to keep properly ventilated. The key to keeping your indoor air healthy is removing moisture from the indoor air. Moisture allowed to linger too long in the air of the home can lead to dangerous mold. Good exhaust fans around your attic and roof help with proper ventilation to ensure that you have good indoor air quality, no mold, and a healthy home. 

Keeping Air (And Scents) Flowing To The Right Places

Delicious aromas and scents coming from the kitchen is the best part about home cooking. However, you do not necessarily want those smells to be lingering on for the next day, or spreading into the other rooms in your home. Roasted broccoli in the kitchen is just fine, but not the smell you want in your bedroom. Moisture lingering in the air can be even more damaging, not to mention grease, heat and even carbon monoxide from gas ranges which can all be dangerous. Hood fans over your stove are not enough, and in most cases just move the air around. 

Proper ventilation and exhaust removes that moisture and odor filled air out of your living space and into the outdoors. The BK exhaust vent cap offered on Roofing Direct is one example of an exhaust vent cap that is designed to last and has a classy copper finish. This roof mounted vent cap is complete with a damper that prevents back draft, as well as a screen to keep out birds and insects. Constructed of heavy gauge galvanized steel this product is made to last. The kitchen exhaust vent cover and kitchen exhaust cap are important in connecting your HVAC system to proper ventilation. 

Bathroom Vents Offer Good Peace Of Mind

The home’s bathrooms are another area where there can be odors in the home. These are certainly not the odors you want spreading around your house. When it comes to creating moisture in the air no room competes with the bathroom after a hot shower. If that warm moisture filled air is not properly ventilated there can be serious problems for the home. Moisture filled air that is allowed to linger will make its way into your walls and ceilings causing problems that can be far more expensive and creating dangerous mold that is bad for your health. You want to ensure that your bathroom is vented and that the ventilation is properly connected to your HVAC system and sent out of the home. 

Older construction and poor quality work has shown many bathrooms being vented into the ceiling with no escape out. Starting with an excellent bathroom vent from Roofing Direct is a great first step in getting the air flow you need in your bathroom. Promoting free air movement, this product is offered in a range of sizes and finishes. A roof vent for a bathroom fan is also a great long term solution to moving moist air out of the bathroom quickly and effectively. Roofing Direct also has roof vents for metal roofs, no matter what type of roof you work on they carry a vent that will help you get your homes air cleared out of the house and flowing well. 

Good Venting Leads To Good Living
