Are you looking for the perfect window for your bathroom? Choosing windows for any other room would’ve been easier, but because you need the perfect mix of style, function, and privacy, things can get tricky. As the leading expert on replacement windows, we have a few tips to help you in your search.
The darker your bathroom is, the more natural light it needs during the daytime. Use this as the starting point of your search and list down possible options that can provide your bathroom with plenty of lighting. As a rule of thumb, bigger windows mean better lighting.
Having a big enough window for natural lighting is great, but you also have to factor in the need for privacy. After all, you wouldn’t want someone accidentally peeping into your windows while you’re in the bathroom. According to our team of experts, you should look for windows that have translucent panes so you get the lighting without giving people an unexpected view.
Most windows have to be able to fully open and close. However, you don’t want bathroom windows that would require you to reach out too much just to open and close them. Sliding or double-hung windows are great for this purpose. If you insist on getting casement windows, get one that is designed to swing inwards. Being able to open the window also helps air out the bathroom to reduce mold growth in the area.
Window position will have a big effect on how much lighting and privacy it can provide. If you really need windows near or around the shower area, window specialists recommend putting them closer to the ceiling to get more privacy. Placing the casement windows next to the mirror is convenient since the natural lighting will help you see yourself better.
