The best way to stop condensation in your bathroom is to prevent the steam being generated in the first place.

We as home owners have, for years, accepted that steam is part of us having a shower — it does not have to be.

How condensation forms

Condensation in your bathroom is caused by hot damp air from your shower mixing with cold damp air from your bathroom. By separating these two groups of moisture, bathroom steam cannot be produced.

An example

Watch a glass kettle while boiling — inside the kettle you see boiling water but next to no steam; water is splashed onto the glass and runs down, but you can still see through the kettle. Now look about 50 to 75mm above the spout, where the hot damp air is mixing with the room air (which is colder but also damp) — this is where you see the steam being produced. The hot damp air is condensing as it meets the cold damp air, forming steam which then condensates on your mirrors, windows and any cold surfaces in your bathroom.

If you centrally heat your house you will mask this effect, but you do not stop condensation — it will only take longer for the effects and damage to be seen, as the household air will be able to hold more moisture.

Stop condensation and stop the above problems by installing a Steam Stopper over your existing shower.
