[QUOTE="Canyondust, post: 896652"] Part of my job (few years ago) led me to be a lead involve in an automotive dewing test standard (it is a BS standard now). Previously devices (boxes) we're 85C/85%RH cycled and in this case spray tests related to IP67. We and other OEMs had issues. The cause was rapid changes in humidity and prolonged high humidty. With extraction I would still expext to see a rapid humidity level increase in the room from the start of the cycle. I can't find a link to the exact tile but they are a wood effect ceramic circa 500mm x 175mm Tray mosaics are marble. 50 x 50 I think. If you think that water permeating the grout could cause this kind of effect then maybe an experiment can be devised. Some years ago I was involved in the design of a new grout (nothing like we are talking here) which was for a civil works project (wind turbine) with BASF as product provider. Moisture permeation was a test. So I can imagine the mosaics on my shower tray being immersed on one side for say 10 minutes. Do you feel this would fully wet the tile? [/QUOTE]
