HEATED MIRROR DEMISTER PADS
At some point in everyone’s morning routine in the bathroom, we end up in front of the mirror. Whether it’s to shave, apply make-up, or some other task requiring the mirror, we spend a lot of time there over the whole year. As a result, there’s nothing more frustrating than a mirror that continually fogs over when you need it most. Swiping away the mist often just results in smearing before it quickly reappears. When you only have a few minutes of wiggle room in your morning routine, this quickly becomes a very annoying delay. Why not add a mirror demister to your bathroom?
It’s true with a demister, you can enjoy a clear view of yourself in the mirror even right out of the shower. Kudos Trading offers a convenient array of sizes, simplifying the process of finding a demister pad that will fit your bathroom mirror. Though you will need the assistance of an electrician to hook up the demister, the pad itself can be entirely installed on your own. For a convenient and quick bathroom upgrade, it’s an excellent choice.
How does a mirror demister pad function?
You might be surprised to learn that the technology behind this device is quite simple. A mirror demister pad is simply a thin, electronically powered pad that contains heating elements. This pad goes behind your mirror, designed to fit perfectly into its shape. When activated, the pad becomes heated, which prevents condensation from forming. Even as your bathroom fills up with mist from your morning shower, your mirror will remain fog-free as a result of the heated demister pad.

FAQs
Can it be cut?
No. This will damage the insulation rendering it dangerous.
Where are the connector tails?
Along the long slide of the demister pad
How much of the mirror should I cover?
This depends on what area is required to be clear. The area of the mirror that will remain steam free is the area of the pad plus approximately 20%-30% area around it.
Can it be used with safety backed mirrors?
Yes but the backing should be earthed as should all metal parts surrounding the mirror.
Is a transformer required?
No they are 230v
Can more than one pad be fitted to a mirror?
Yes, within the limitations of the available power. They should then be fitted in parallel.
What adhesive should be used to bond the mirror to the wall?
Any solvent free.
Can the mirror adhesive be applied across pad?
Yes.
Can the pad be used with a dimmer switch?
This is not advisable as when turned down there would be insufficient power for pad to be fully effective.
What thickness of mirror can be used?
As glass is a good conductor of heat the pad is suitable for use with any normal thickness of mirror.
Fitting Instructions & Guidelines
THESE FITTING INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED TOGETHER WITH THE MIRROR MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wiring: Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician and must comply too the latest wiring regulations. The pad should be connected to a switched lighting circuit, so that it is activated when the light is turned on. Can be wired through a separate switch if preferred. The circuit must be protected by a 6A MCB and protected by an RCD. Brown ….Live or Positive Blue…. Neutral or Negative (all cables must be protected and comply to the latest wiring regulations) Power rating 200w/m²
Multiple Pads: Multiple pads can be fitted to a mirror and should be wired in parallel, care must be taken that the power supply is sufficient to take the load. Pads must not overlap as this could cause hotspots and possible damage to the mirror.
Cable Length: The pads are supplied with 1.0m of double insulated cable and cannot be lengthened or replaced from the pad itself, when a longer cable is required, a suitable junction box and the correct cable must used. If in Doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Notes: This product must be fitted by a qualified electrician All exposed metal parts surrounding the mirror Must be earthed e.g. the frame, The earth connection must comply with the IEE wiring regulations- 17th Edition (BS7671-2008) or equivalent national wiring regulations. Mirrors that have a conductive foil backing or metallic covering Must be earthed due to a possibility of a small capacitance effect.
Holes and cut-outs: If the mirror has any holes, cut-outs, internal, external corners the pad must not be located near the hole, cut-outs or corners as the mirror could crack, before installation please contact your supplier.
Important: The pad should not be used if the mirror has any damage, the pad must not be cut or pierced as this will render the pad unsafe to use. As the ambient room temperature rises, so will the surface temperature of the mirror. Once the pad has been installed it must not be accessible.
The Manufacturer/supplier cannot be held responsible for any damaged caused by improper installation or use.
1) Ensure that a small recess has been made to accept the terminal moulding on the pad.
2) Carefully mark out the rear of the mirror to indicate where the pad is to be installed
3) Peel off part of the protective paper from the front of the pad
4) Carefully place one edge of the pad onto the back of the mirror, up against your mark
5) Carefully apply pressure evenly across the edge of the pad, then proceed to remove the protective paper, supplying even pressure across the pad as the paper is removed.
6) Once the whole pad is on the back of the mirror, carefully smooth out all air bubbles.
7) Fix the mirror to the wall, according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions, the adhesive must be solvent and acrylic free.
Important: To avoid damage to the mirror and in common with normal practice, the following points must be adhered to.
1) Ensure the wall is firm, flat and dry.
2) The mirror must be flat across its entire surface, an expansion gap must be allowed for when installed in tiles or a recess.
3) All screw holes must not be over-tightened and must be adjusted evenly to ensure the mirror is flat and has room to expand.
4) Never rest anything across the mirror surface that will prevent the heat dissipating fully.
Note: White patches that may appear beneath the film are “de-lamination”. This is caused by the ingress of air between the insulation and the element as a result of handling. This has no effects on the operation of the pad nor is it detrimental in any way. All pads are manufactured in the UK to the highest standards and tested under very strict quality controls, however, it is advisable to check the resistance reading for the pad before you adhere the pad to the mirror.
