Some is visible running down walls and windows where it rots window sills and flooring. In the bathroom a lot of moisture will condense on the ceiling.

As the fan draws warm steamy air out of the room it is replaced by cooler air entering around the door, window or fan vent. It is this cooler air that is causing the problem.\u00a0 As the cool air meets the warm moist air from the shower, steam is generated. The bigger and stronger the fan \u2013 the more steam generated.\u00a0 Our advice to you &#8211; d<strong>o NOT run a fan during\u00a0your shower.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fan is only of value <strong>after<\/strong> the shower is turned off to help dry the room.\u00a0 <strong>If you have a <em>Showerdome<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> shower\u00a0top the room is dry anyway.<\/strong> \u00a0<strong>No fan is required.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The heat lamps in many bathrooms are also contributing to the problem.
