Integrated ventilation systems work across multiple rooms, often combining kitchen, bathroom, and laundry airflow management. These systems use ducted fans and centralised controls to maintain a balanced air environment.
For homes with limited space or enclosed laundries, connecting to an existing integrated system can reduce the need for standalone fans or open windows. It also provides more consistent moisture control.
Consult with a ventilation specialist or builder if considering this approach. It’s particularly effective in new builds or major renovations where ducts can be hidden and airflow planned from the outset.
Integrated systems can also improve energy efficiency by reducing the reliance on ad hoc solutions like portable dehumidifiers or excessive use of heating to dry out air. With smart sensors that respond to humidity levels, the system only activates when needed, saving both power and wear on appliances. This contributes to a more sustainable, cost-effective approach to home ventilation.
Design-wise, these systems can be discreet. Ceiling vents and slimline grilles blend seamlessly into cabinetry or walls, maintaining the aesthetic integrity of modern laundries. For homes prioritising a minimalist or built-in look, this approach ensures functionality without visual clutter — perfect for laundries that share space with bathrooms or entryways.
