Heated Demister Bathroom Mirrors

Bathroom mirrors will often fog up after you've taken a long shower and this is especially true the colder it is outside. While keeping your window open will help, this isn't always ideal if you need to use the mirror straight after showering. Heated bathroom mirrors are the perfect choice if you need to keep your mirror fog free, but how exactly do they work?

 

Why does my bathroom mirror steam up?

Bathroom mirrors steam up because steam from hot water condenses on the mirror’s colder surface. This happens frequently in bathrooms, especially due to the large amount of steam generated by a shower. Fortunately, there’s an effective solution: heated bathroom mirrors.

 

How do demister mirrors work?

A demister bathroom mirror works by applying a small amount of heat to its surface, which prevents it from fogging up. Since the mirror is no longer cold, it doesn’t attract water vapour and is less likely to condensate. Many heated bathroom mirrors also come with additional features, such as LED lighting or built-in Bluetooth speakers.

 

Can you put a demister pad on any mirror?

Demister pads can be applied to various types of mirrors, but it depends on a few factors. For instance, it depends on how the mirror is mounted, as demister pads are attached to the back of the mirror, and whether it's possible to supply power to the pad.
