On paper, it means the heater can handle dust and a blast of water. But here&rsquo;s the thing: a static rating doesn&rsquo;t tell the whole story. Bathrooms are brutal. One minute it&rsquo;s freezing, and the next, you&rsquo;ve got a cloud of steam and a heater cranking out intense heat. That constant switching—expanding and contracting—is where things usually go wrong. That&rsquo;s why we don&rsquo;t just trust the rating. We put every batch through damp-heat aging tests.</p>
