DIYers need to lower the humidity in their bathroom.People carrying out home improvement projects to improve condensation problems in their bathroom have been told that they need to reduce the relative humidity.Jeff Howell, a DIY expert writing for the Daily Telegraph, said that heating, such as a towel rail, should also be used to keep room surfaces above dew point temperature."Condensation occurs when warm, moist air meets surfaces cooler than the dew point temperature. The dew point temperature varies according to the amount of moisture in the air (the relative humidity) and the ambient room temperature," he added.Mr Howell stated that in a steamy shower room, the relative humidity might be close to 90 per cent at an ambient temperature of 20C, giving a dew point of 18C, meaning that condensation is likely to occur.Writing for Heraldnet.com, Martha Stewart recently advised that the bathroom is no place for antique prints or fine art because of condensation and humidity issues.Posted by Liam Cass
