POLL - Demister Mirrors, Have you Heard of Them? Do you want one?

9 years ago

We are surprised by how many of our customer were unaware of demister mirrors. Essentially they are mirrors or cabinets that have a heater behind, meaning when you shower or bathe the condensation cannot form on the mirror! Clever and usually not expensive, we think every Bathroom should have one! Do you?

I want one!

Yes I have one. When on it throws out enough heat to take the chill off a cold bathroom without turning the heating on especially handy in spring and autumn.

I like the mirror misting up. Makes it seem all hot-shower like

I understand that if you clean your mirror using shaving foam it will not mist for a week.

Supervintagegirl- have you every seen or read about "Extreme Irining" as a sport? There are World Championships in it. Got a book on it as a fun wedding present for a cousin who has been known to ask you to take of some item of clothing that you are wearing as you stand in front of her so she can iron it for you!! I kid you not .... My SIL not far behind. Spent 4hrs - FOUR FULL HOURS - Irining her 20 something year olds shirts the other evening !!! It would take less time to train them to do their own. Ho hum .... ironing can be very therapeutic tho ....

POLL: How many TVs do you have at home?
Q

I install home automation equipment and lighting controls. I don't have a TV in the house : ) I do though, have a projector with a retractable screen. This has totally changed the way we watch TV. We only watch what we want to - which is mainly programs recorded via Youview or films. When the projector isn't on, the screen is out of sight in the ceiling and the room is setup for more social activities. Personally, I couldn't be without the radio. We have speakers in every room for this and music in general. Upstairs this is done with inceiling speakers so again, it is a discrete system.

Yep, if you smear shaving cream over the mirror and then wipe it off again with a clean dry towel before you shower or bath, this will keep the glass fog free for at least a couple of weeks.

Other things you can try are:
- Toothpaste (smear a solution of toothpaste and water onto the glass and wipe off again)
- Vaseline (smear it on the mirror then rub it off - requires a little more work but good results!)
- Shampoo (smear a little shampoo and water on the mirror and wipe clean)

Let us know how you get on!

I had one and it was great however it was connected the the lighting circuit, as I have attendance to leave the lights on it burnt itself out. Hard to replace due to tiled wall.

We put a mirror demister in out ensuite and found we only used it a couple of times in four or five years. The under tile heating kept the bathroom sufficiently warm that the demister was unnecessary. I won't bother with a demister in my new bathrooms.

A lot of mirrored cabinets come with the demister as standard - but you have to remember to turn it on otherwise it doesn't work!

We have one installed behind the mirror, embedded in the wall. Works well and it saves a lot of frustration. However, I wish the builder had installed the whole thing lower down - he was 6 feet 2 and I am 5 feet 2, and I have to stand on tiptoe to see above the misty bits on the mirror ... !

I have one and it's useful az- in a jack and jill ensuite between my own and my sister's bedrooms so it gets heavy use!!! and an unmisty mirror means that steaminess doesn't get in the way of using the mirror after a shower- but a demister floor would be fairly useful...it gets really soggy despite the bath mat- but it would have to be about 100 degrees to be effective, so perhaps not.

arrrrrgh wet tights.....
