Wet room problem

[geordie2013]

Hi guys.

Got a problem with a wet room.

Its tiled floor to ceiling but every time customer uses wet room he is left with condensation on the ceiling which if not wiped after every use turns mouldy. He sealed the ceiling with sealer then painted it again but after 2 weeks mould starts to appear.
I suggested maybe a bigger fan in wet room.

Is there a special product for use on wet room ceilings or is there any way around this problem thanx

It's down to the steam...i always recommend putting a pvc ceiling in wetrooms then it just wipes over the same as the tiles do....

I use these ones from CTD...( gemini )...

you could tile it or a larger fan may help or is there a painter in the forum ? Pete

Is there such a thing as anti-fungal paint? This may remove the discolouration but the moisture is still there, bigger fan should help.

you need a shower light extractor [DLMURL]http://www.screwfix.com/prods/25652/Heating-Cooling/Extractor-Fans/Shower-Light-Extractor-Fan-100mm[/DLMURL]

these work well in wet rooms, i have installed a number of these this year

What-ever-you do,do not tile it as someone suggested.It would probably be okay but there is always a chance of something coming detached then you have a problem if someone is injured.Also the condensation would become a bigger problem

May also help if the area above the wet room is insulated......................Oh......and a stronger extractor
