How to remove moisture in a windowless bathroom?
This is a problem we often have in windowless bathrooms.
And I'm not teaching you anything if I tell you that too much humidity in a room is unhealthy.
And what could be wetter than a bathroom?
Fungus, mold or yellowish marks, paint that is damaged and peeling off... Believe me!
A bathroom that is too humid is really not the best.
But how to ventilate a bathroom when there is no window?
Fortunately, there are simple and effective tips to prevent humidity from becoming embedded in your bathroom.
Here are 8 easy tricks to eliminate humidity in your body of water. Watch:
If you don't have a window in your bathroom, ventilating this room well is complicated.
You have to bet everything on the materials that will decorate the room.
Contrary to popular belief, tiling the walls or the floor is not always the best option.
According to professionals, an anti-humidity paint is a good alternative for walls. Think about it!
Acrylic paint or glycerophthalic paint are interesting options.
On the floor, we prefer PVC, exotic or treated wood parquet or laminate parquet.
The secret to avoiding humidity in a bathroom is to ventilate!

You will agree... It is not always possible to install a VMC in a small bathroom.
Do not panic ! There is an equally effective alternative.
You can put an extractor.

I completely understand you!
The good news is that there is another solution.

As its name indicates very well, its mission is to eliminate humidity in a room.
It absorbs moisture and lowers humidity of your room.
You can also make one yourself by following this tutorial.
Having good heating in the bathroom is important.
Why ? Quite simply because the heat given off by the radiator dries the air .
An electric heater works just fine.
In my experience, a good idea is to install a heated towel rail.
This way, you heat your bathroom and dry your towels at the same time.
And that's half the humidity in your bathroom.
