Many people simply accept that bathroom mirrors steam up after a shower. However, modern heated mirror technology can eliminate this condensation quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Demista Mirror Pads provide a simple and effective solution for keeping mirrors clear. They work perfectly in bathrooms, shower rooms, en-suites, and other wet areas. Flexel designs and manufactures these ultra-thin heating pads right here in the UK. You simply install them behind the mirror to gently warm the glass surface and prevent condensation from forming.

What Are Flexel Demista Mirror Pads?

Demista Mirror Pads are self-adhesive electric heating pads made specifically for mirrors. Once you install the pad behind the mirror and connect it to the electrical supply, it gently heats the glass. Because the pad warms the glass to a temperature slightly above the surrounding air, it completely prevents steam and condensation build-up. Consequently, you get a permanently clear mirror, even during hot showers or baths.

People commonly use them in:

  • Bathrooms
  • En-suites
  • Shower rooms
  • Hotels
  • Leisure facilities
  • Student accommodation
  • Care homes
  • Commercial washrooms
How Do Mirror Demister Pads Work?

Condensation forms when warm, moist air hits a cold mirror surface. A Demista pad solves this problem by gently heating the mirror. As a result, it keeps the glass temperature safely above the dew point. The pad sits invisibly behind the mirror and operates completely silently. In most cases, installers wire the pad directly into the bathroom lighting circuit. Therefore, the demister automatically switches on whenever you turn on the lights.

Typically, Demista pads warm the mirror surface to approximately 15°C above the ambient room temperature.

Key Features Of Our Demista Pads

Ultra-Thin Design
Demista pads are less than 1mm thick. As a result, they sit discreetly behind almost any mirror without affecting the appearance or installation depth.

Safe For Wet Areas
The pads feature an IP44 rating, meaning they are safe for damp bathroom environments. Furthermore, they are fully insulated and comply with all relevant UK electrical safety standards. For Shower Cubicles our 12v range is required.

Easy Installation
The self-adhesive backing allows you to fit them quickly to either new or existing mirrors. Consequently, installation is straightforward for qualified electricians and bathroom installers.

Wide Range Of Sizes
Large selection of pad sizes to suit different mirror dimensions. These range from compact vanity mirrors to large feature mirrors. In addition, you can use multiple pads together for oversized mirrors.

Low Running Costs
Demista pads consume relatively little energy because they use a highly targeted heating design. Since they normally link directly to the lighting circuit, they only operate when needed.

Maintenance Free
Once you install them, these mirror pads require virtually no maintenance. In addition, they provide years of reliable operation.

Typical Applications

Residential Bathrooms
Demista pads are ideal for family bathrooms, en-suites and cloakrooms where mirrors regularly steam up.

Hotels And Hospitality
Hotels frequently install heated mirror pads to improve the guest experience. Consequently, they eliminate the daily inconvenience caused by condensation.

Care Homes And Healthcare
For instance, clear mirrors significantly improve visibility and usability in assisted living and healthcare environments.

Commercial Washrooms
Similarly, offices, gyms and leisure centres benefit from improved mirror visibility during periods of high humidity.

Installation Considerations

While installation is relatively simple, there are several important points to consider before you begin.

Mirror Compatibility
Most standard mirrors are completely suitable. However, mirrors with conductive foil backing or metallic coatings may require grounding pads for safety. To solve this, Flexel offers dedicated grounding pads for these specific installations.

Placement
Do not position the heating pad too close to drilled holes, cut-outs, or bevelled mirror edges. This is because uneven heat concentration could risk cracking or damaging the glass. When in doubt please contact ourselves or your distributor for advice.

Electrical Connection
A qualified electrician must carry out all electrical connections in accordance with current wiring regulations. Typically, they wire the pads into:

  • Bathroom lighting circuits
  • Separate switched circuits

Adhesives
When mounting the mirrors, you must use solvent-free and acrylic-free adhesives. This precaution ensures you avoid damaging the heating element or the mirror backing.
