4 Things to Consider When Choosing a Bathroom Window

Choosing the most suitable bathroom window can be challenging. You’ll want your new windows to be large enough to let in plenty of natural light and ventilation, but windows that are too big may not give you the level of privacy you need.

To make sure you’re getting the right window size for your bathroom, here are four things you should keep in mind when choosing a window.

1. Window Size

If the size of your bathroom window is small, you won’t get as much sunlight inside your bathroom. A large, tall window can easily improve natural lighting and make the space more comfortable to perform tasks like applying makeup. It also makes the bathroom look bigger and brighter.

2. Window Transparency

Most homeowners think that having a lot of windows in the bathroom makes them less private, but the truth is that you can still enjoy sunlight without compromising your privacy by opting for frosted or textured glass. 

3. Window Style

The style of your windows is very important to how your home works and looks. A casement or awning window, which can be opened and closed, might be a good idea for bathrooms because they often get wet and steamy from showers. This allows more air to get into the room, preventing damage or mold growth caused by excessive moisture.

4. Window Placement

Most bathroom windows are placed high on the wall, above the head, to allow natural lighting into the space while keeping it private. Another great way to do this is to install a skylight, which lets in natural light while giving you a beautiful view of the sky.
