En-suite condensation problem

    Any ideas how to deal with a condensation problem in our en-suite?

    When one has a shower quite a lot of water drips down the inside of the window and onto the solid oak window board.

    The en-suite is quite big and we have an extraction fan that operates every time the light is on.
    Could it be the case that the fan is not powerful enough to extract the steam from the shower?

    Has anyone had a similar problem and if so how did you deal with it.

    Thanks.

    Increase the ventilation - open a window slightly during a shower and open it further after leaving the en-suite.

    If the problem persists then consider increasing the operating time of the extractor or replace it with a more powerful fan.

    it has been known for the extractor fans to be connected to nothing. you could add a permavent to one of the glass units, or you could put a pvc capping window board over the oak board. they come in all the main colours of pvc windows. you will always have some staining of wood window boards in a shower room.

    aluminium windows are the worst for condensation. what type have you got there?

    They are PVC windows.
    Is it difficult to install a permavent? What cost is involved?
    Thanks.

    Depending on the window - you could could remove the window board and tile the sill....might be cheaper option than changing extractor, etc - I know this isn't solving the problem though and might not suit the room depending on the 'look'.
