Adding ventilation to enclosed shower

Presently only a light is installed in the master shower, as you can see, and it's a losing battle against moisture (as indicated by the discolored Grout and small mold spots I'm cleaning off). Is a combo light / fan enough here? Is there a better solution? And if an exhaust fan is enough, will the gap at the top of the door (the bottom seals very tightly) be a problem when trying to get the entire shower dry? There's attic access so running the ductwork shouldn't be too difficult, and the main bathroom (outside of the shower) has a fan as well so I'm hoping to just tie into it if I go the exhaust route. Any specific recommendation on the specific light / fan combo would be appreciated too! submitted by /u/Cryp71c [link] [comments]
