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 demister bathroom mirrors are the perfect choice if you need to keep your mirror fog free, but how exactly do they work?
FAQs
Why does my bathroom mirror steam up?
As steam from hot water will condense on a colder surface, your bathroom mirror steams up due to steam condensing on the mirror. Of course, it can happen quite regularly and quickly in a bathroom because of the huge amount of steam generated by a shower. Luckily, there is a very effective solution; heated bathroom mirrors.
How do demister mirrors work?
A demister bathroom mirror works by applying a small amount of heat to the surface of the mirror, preventing it from becoming steamed up. As the mirror is then no longer a cold surface, it doesn't attract water vapour and isn't prone to condensation. Many heated bathroom mirrors and demister mirrors have additional functionality, such as utilising LED lighting or containing Bluetooth speakers.
Can you put a demister pad on any mirror?
Demister pads can work on different types of mirrors but it will depend. For example, it depends on how the mirror is mounted - as demister pads are added to the backs of mirrors - and whether it is possible to get power to it.
