UPDATE - condensation problems while taking a shower with newly installed bathroom exhaust fans
I added insulation around the fan housing and it made the problem even
worse in the smaller bathroom For now I am running the small space heater while taking a shower as I don't experience any condensation then. One thing I should have mentioned is that the fan is installed on a 8 degree slant ceiling instead of a flat ceiling. Could this be the problem? Also, since the bathroom is so tiny, perhaps I need a stronger fan(more than 80 cfm), since the steam builds up very fast while taking a shower. I'm all out of ideas, as I've tried everything(read the previous post). |

If you don't the fan may not be effective. Don Young |

Don Young- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I tried leaving bathroom door all the way open and also window open....it doesn't help at all The site that nick recommended I actually called and they recommended sealing off the shower completely??? that would not look very nice and is not really an option. I guess I'm just stuck with it, until I find a better solution to this problem. |
