the plan is to reduce condensation in my bathroom - it's very small with a large window and the cistern makes the o/s wall it is fixed to mouldy. I already have a humidistat controlled extractor fan and heated towel rail, so this is the next anti-damp manoeuvre found on the web - to line the cistern with foam. Any ideas as to what glue to use? And how do you spell manoeuvre? Either maneuver if you are a septic, or manoeuvre if you are UK, or manoeuver, if you want the verb I think Is this to stop the cistern getting condensation? Piss less, or feed it from the hot tap
Over here we used to be able to buy a kit of foam pieces and glue to line the inside of an older toilet tank. It was only partially successful because by the time one got around to doing it the inside surface of the tank was usually a bit grungy and even though glued, cold water would get in 'behind' the foam liner pieces. Nowadays however most toilets (Except perhaps very, very cheap ones?) come with the foam moulded in place! Our present one does and it minimizes condensation, although we still get a small amount of dew forming on the cold water delivery pipe, in very humid weather. Again however since in Canada many months require some heating and the colder the weather the dryer the air tends to be, humidity is only occasionally a problem. Have never seen it done but also apparently there is a special valve that allows some hot water to be added to the cold toilet supply; so that temperate (but not outright hot) water does not allow condensation to form. Too hot water might also melt the wax seal below the bowl! But btw is the bathroom very humid? Although ventilation should be adequate because of the fan? Cos dampness can equate with mould/rot. Good luck.
