I agree; if you're building a new bathroom, that may well be a viable solution, but probably considerably more expensive than fitting a $400 dome...
Heating the bathroom makes very little difference in my experience..we have a 2KW wall heater plus two 250 watt heat lamps and they made not a skerrick of difference to the amount of steam...even with turning them on a good 10-15 minutes prior to using the shower. Physics (or whatever) isn't my strong point, but I figure that if your hot water has a temperature of 50 odd degrees, the bathroom air temperature would need to be at least that to stop the formation of steam?
Haven't had to clean it yet, and it's showing no signs of mould or dirt as yet. The water on the dome is distilled so it should be pretty clean and as mentioned previously it dries out pretty quick.
Ugly?? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess..., but it's a clear polycarbonate dome and you don't really notice it's there.
For anyone who's interested have a look at at showerdomes website. It answers a bunch of technical questions...can't do the link sorry.
