Bathroom windows have a unique set of requirements compared to other windows. Among these requirements, privacy and natural light are two that are not easy to balance. If you need replacement windows that embody these requirements, consider the following ideas:
Window Treatments
Window treatments should be thick enough to provide privacy but translucent enough to allow natural light to pass through. Window treatments like shutters and blinds satisfy these requirements, but a simple white curtain often works best in upholding privacy while maximizing the amount of natural light that enters your bathroom.
For something more opaque, roller shades are a good option. Our High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, standard on all Renewal by Andersen® replacement windows, blocks UV rays, which lets you choose any window treatment color that you want without worrying about fading from exposure to sunlight.
Obscured Glass
If window treatments are not your cup of tea, consider choosing bathroom replacement windows with obscured glass. This adds privacy to your windows without compromising natural light entry. It also gives you the flexibility to choose whatever window style you’d like without worrying about window treatments or other modifications. Our High-Performance Low-E4 glass is available in several textures and patterns that will fit whatever look you’re after.
Narrow Windows
Narrow windows are ideal for small bathrooms that need the wall space for plumbing, cabinetry, and other requirements. A row of narrow horizontal windows situated at the top or at the sides allow ample amounts of natural light while limiting the view as seen from the outside. Note that narrow windows are typically non-operable and may limit ventilation in the bathroom.
