Broan’s upcoming SurfaceShield bathroom fan kills germs with bacteria-zapping LEDs
No offense, but your bathroom is gross, even if you’re giving it a good scrubbing every week. Luckily, help is on the way in the form of a new bathroom ventilation fan armed with germ-killing LEDs.
Slated to arrive in January 2020, Broan-Nutone’s upcoming SurfaceShield fan boasts an LED light fixture that's designed to destroy the bacteria, fungi, and mold lingering in toilets, sinks, showers, and other germ-friendly surfaces in your bathroom.
Developed in partnership with health-tech company Vital Vio, the embedded SurfaceShield emits light in a spectrum that triggers a toxic reaction in bacterial cells, essentially killing them from the inside.
