Another know-how
The problem with steam can be easily eliminated in other ways besides those listed. For example, using the Teplolux Mirror heating system. This is an option suitable for a sauna, shower cabin, bathhouse and, of course, a regular toilet room so that the mirror does not sweat. This system is represented by a film with a heating cable. It is connected to a wire to connect a current of 220 Volts.The film is protected by paper on top of the adhesive layer.
Installing such a simple design is not difficult. On the back of the mirror, determine the location for the system. Then peel off part of the paper covering and connect the edge of the film to the mirror. The remaining paper is removed. The film is completely glued to the base. Once installation is complete, you can connect the device to the network. With this simple action we get rid of the problem associated with condensation.
