How to Choose Windows for Your Bathroom

Larry Walty II • September 17, 2020

There are a few considerations when choosing windows for your bathroom. Generally, you want to let in plenty of sunlight and provide enough ventilation, especially since most bathrooms are small in space, but you also want to maintain your privacy and come in for a quiet time. Fortunately, with a little bit of careful planning, you can have all of these things.

In this post, commercial roofing contractors share tips on how to choose the right window for your bathroom.

Window Size

The best way to make any room look more spacious is to add more natural light. This means that the bigger the window, the more daylight is let in. This is the main argument why many homeowners want to install large-sized windows in their bathrooms. However, with a huge window unit like a sliding window comes the issue of privacy, particularly if the window faces a neighborhood street.

Window Transparency

A window that is completely transparent is not suitable for most bathrooms. If you want to bring in more light but not sacrifice your privacy, opt for windows with frosted, texture, or stained glass. This effectively diffuses the visibility from the outdoors while not blocking out sunlight. In addition, a commercial roof repair company recommends stained glass windows to beautiful, historic homes to match the vintage appearance.

Window Style

You also need to consider the window style to ensure the functionality of your bathroom. The bathroom is one of the most humid spaces in your home. Installing an operable window, such as a casement or awning, will do you good. This promotes healthy airflow inside the bathroom, eliminating excess moisture and all the problems that come with it. For example, mold growth, musky odor and rot.
