Prior to and even during a bathroom remodel, I often have conversations about tile and fixture layout, style and finish. But the conversation seldom leads to discussion of bathroom ventilation ...

Inline exhaust fans are placed in line with existing ductwork, moving air between intake ... and offer a few different options for the bathroom, which is where they're most commonly installed.
