I have a condensation / ventilation problem in my bathroom and kitchen ;
In the bathroom : There is only a window for ventilation, no vents or extractor fan. When we have showers, a lot of steam fills the room and lots tends to condensate on the cold tiled floor especially in the winter which is really unpleasant.
In the kitchen ; There is only a window for ventilation, no vents, and the window isn't near the cooking area where the water vapour comes from. There is an extractor fan, but the extracted air is not vented outside, just back into the kitchen so it is fairly pointless. When cooking or just boiling a kettle, the water vapour tends to lurk around and condensate on the ceiling and surfaces (the paint is flaking a lot in the ceiling corners) or goes out into the rest of the house which really worries me.
What would be the most effective way to tackle these problems ? I am not too worried about the cost and would be happy to get rid of the stand in shower / bath if it would help. Please see youtube video of the kitchen and bathroom :
