Mirror misting or fogging is scientifically called condensation.
When warm air is exposed to cooler surface the excess water droplets in the warm air go and get deposited on the cooler surface and that is what we call misting.
When too many droplets are deposited, it forms a kind of foggy sheet and when there is extreme excess of droplets, they start raining on the mirror.
This fogging will never happen if you shower in cold water.
That is because cold water does not change the temperature of the room in any way.
Only warm air can hold more moisture or water droplets than cold air.
Men who are trying to shave often face the problem of misting.
Every time they open the tap, the mirror will mist.
In addition, no matter how many times they wipe it, it fogs again.
It can be one big pain.
To solve this problem bathroom mirror demister are available.
Mirror demisters Demister works on the principle of keeping the temperature of the mirror same as that of the hot water.
This way, the condensation will not occur, because its surface is no longer cold.
The demister comes as a flat pad.
It in fact resembles a foldable heating pad used for knee pains, but even thinner.
This pad has one adhesive side and one waterproof side.
There is an electrical wire, which connects to the light switch.
This way, the mirror demister will be turned on only when the light is turned on.
The electricity consumption is peanuts and the usefulness...
Well you would ask why you did not install it earlier! Nowadays, owing to this problem many mirrors come with inbuilt demister heating circuits, which increase the temperature of the surface.
This is preferred is cold places where there is constant need of demisters.
Installing the bathroom demister pads Installing a demister is child's play and you can do it without the help of an electrician.
You will need a 5amp fuse to protect the demister from short-circuiting.
The wire colours are universal.
Blue is neutral and brown is for the live or positive line.
If you have to access the pad after installation, cut off the main power and only then access, though this is to be highly avoided.
Since the pad is heated using electricity, it would be good to insulate any metal part that might be surrounding the mirror, such as metal frames.
If you have a huge one, you may use more than one pad to demist, but never overlap any of the pads.
There must be sufficient gap between the pads.
Electrically, the pads must be connected in parallel circuit.
However, install mirror demister pads for today and enjoy a mist free mirror even in the hottest of showers in coldest of winters!
