Not specifically electrical, but best way to minimise condensation in a shower room. Asking for a customer.
Background.
Customer is a neighbour. Previous owners of house had broken through between a downstairs WC and a large cupboard and fitted in a shower cubicle.
There is an existing 4” extractor fan directly through the wall, which goes on and off with the lights… no run-on.
They don’t want to open the window while they have a shower, as it faces the street and they don’t want to flash their bits to passing motorists.
They complain that the room is forever needing painted.
They believe a stronger fan is required, and they want a heater put in… (no nearby power, so maybe a small wattage heater off lighting circuit?)
Would either help at all, or is the best answer to just ventilate the room?
If they don’t want to open the window, then a fresh air inlet? Just another hole through the wall with standard grills?
