Everything\u2019s better in summer, wouldn\u2019t you agree? The warmer temperatures mean outdoor living, BBQ\u2019s, backyard cricket, and all the good stuff happens.\u00a0\u00a0 Blue skies, gentle breezes, cicadas, fresh cut grass, and the overall sense of well-being that comes from that crucial Vitamin D top up is hard to beat.<\/p>\n
Not only does the quintessential kiwi lifestyle come into its own \u2013 but the hidden benefits are also worth a mention here. Less variance in the temperatures of your shower cubicle and the ambient air temperature means that your bathroom stays a lot drier during summer than it does in winter.\u00a0 This means you don\u2019t have to deal with all the moisture-related issues that condensation & mould create<\/a>.<\/p>\n MORE TIME TO SLIP. SLOP. SLAP – AND GET YOURSELF OUTDOORS!<\/strong><\/p>\n While\u2019s it\u2019s nowhere near as exciting as beach days or picnics in the park \u2013 for those of us that clean the bathrooms, the excitement is nudging its way up there. OK\u2026 that might be a push, but cut me some slack.\u00a0 Writing a blog on \u2018How to stop condensation in my bathroom\u2019 was always going to be a solid fail in terms of excitement factor.<\/p>\n So, when we ponder \u2018why is there so much moisture in my bathroom\u2019 \u2013 we need to revert back to simple science:<\/p>\n SUMMER<\/strong> = Cooler water temperature + warmer ambient air temperature in the bathroom. WINTER<\/strong> = Warmer water temperature + cooler ambient air temperature in the bathroom. The key to reducing condensation on walls and windows, is to think about the air temperatures. Keep them close, and you\u2019ll notice a significantly reduced amount of bathroom moisture.\u00a0 The greater the variance, the more of an issue you\u2019ll have.<\/p>\n SHOWERDOME WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM!<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously, fitting a Showerdome<\/strong><\/em>\u00ae shower top is the most logical solution.\u00a0\u00a0 Keeping the cooler air in the bathroom from mixing with the warm, moist air that your shower creates is the sure fire way to solve the problem.<\/p>\n No more wet walls, mouldy corners or paint damage related to condensation. Not only does it keep your shower cubicle toasty warm all year round, but it protects your fixtures and fittings from moisture damage, and saves you significantly on your redecorating budgets.<\/p>\n WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO TO REDUCE BATHROOM CONDENSATION?<\/strong><\/p>\n Other fixes include warming up the ambient air temperature in your bathroom year round by ensuring you are well insulated, and potentially even using a heater in the cooler months. Having a heated towel rail is another way to keep the bathroom warmer, and helps to keep the walls and windows above condensation temperature.<\/p>\n

\nRESULT<\/strong>:\u00a0 minimal difference in temperatures, therefore minimal moisture in the bathroom.<\/p>\n
\nRESULT<\/strong>:\u00a0 Noticeable difference in temperatures, therefore obvious moisture in the bathroom.<\/p>\n
