Hi, our shower room is around 3m x 2.5m.
We always suffered with a lot of steam anyway, but after recently getting a new shower unit installed, it's now gone worse
My partner does take longer in the shower, so I know that's the cause, but that's not going to stop lol

So I am looking to see if there's anything else I can do to help this, such as a better extractor than what we have etc?

We currently have the Greenwood Airvac CV2GIP Extractor, which is on full speed, and pretty loud.
I don't mind if a new one was a touch louder, but really, but as long as it's more effective.

The shower before was just along the left-hand side coming downwards, as opposed to across, as it is now.

I have added some pics where show what it all looks like, plus some of the water build up thats causing a lot of dripping on things such as the radiator, wall etc
You can see on the right of the shower window there is literally water dripping off the wall where it turns in.

I don't want this to start causing damage over time.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Is the room door closed when showering?

If yes, the problem may be down to not enough air being able to enter the room to help the moist air be sucked out.

Perhaps try showering with the door slightly open and see if that improves things. If it does, it might be prudent to cut an air vent in to the door.
 
You may find the settings on this fan user-adjustable.


Otherwise a more powerful (preferably in-line) fan should do the job.
