    Hi All,
    I'm looking for a way to vent my basement bathroom. There is a small window about 31in by 16 in and ideally, I would like to install a fan where the window is. Does anyone know of a combination window/exhaust fan product on the market?

    Thanks

    A regular bathroom vent fan can be installed much like it would be on a main floor. The difference being that instead of venting out the roof, a hole is drilled through the joist band where the vent exits the basement out the side of the house just above the foundation. In most cases this is a relatively simple installation. (The same method is used to vent a clothes dryer in a basement).

    You don't realize the value of a window until you don't have one.
