Bathroom windows play a vital role in maintaining proper ventilation and managing moisture. Taking into consideration the condensation that occurs during showers and the cleaning supplies we use in the bathroom, it makes a strong case for choosing windows that can be opened, rather than fixed ones like picture windows.

To bring in that refreshing breeze, here are a couple of our favorite bathroom window options: 

Awning Windows: These windows are hinged at the top and open outward, making them my all-time favorite for bathrooms. You can open them even during rain or shine to let in some fresh air. 

Double-Hung Windows: If you’re looking to maximize air flow, these windows are a fantastic choice. They can be slid open from both the top and bottom and add a touch of beauty to traditional homes. 

Casement Windows: For a modern or contemporary home, these windows are a winner. They can be easily cranked open and work well when placed higher up on the wall or in hard-to-reach spots. 

So, when you’re selecting the perfect bathroom window, make sure it opens and complements your home’s style for a cohesive exterior look. 

Privacy is always a concern when it comes to bathroom windows. But fear not, there are plenty of creative solutions to maintain your privacy: 

Opt for Higher Placement: If you have the chance to decide the window’s location during a new build or remodel, consider a high-placed window like a clerestory window, especially if you have nearby neighbors. 

Patterned Glass: If you’re replacing an existing window that compromises privacy, go for patterned glass. It allows light to filter in while blocking unwanted views and adds a decorative touch to your window. 

Embrace Plants: Whether you’re building new or replacing, plants can act as natural screens. Trees and shrubs planted strategically outside or potted plants placed inside can do wonders for maintaining privacy. 

Bathroom windows can play a significant role in bringing your desired ambiance to life: 

Frame Views: Consider placing a large window next to the tub where you can enjoy the view while relaxing. Opting for black windows can enhance the framing effect. 

Exterior Aesthetics: Think about how your bathroom window will appear from the outside. Do you want it to match the other windows or stand out as a design element? Both choices can work depending on your home’s style. 

Add Character: With various size and shape options available, you can get creative with your bathroom windows. In particular, the highly customizable E-Series offers plenty of choices. Consider the available wall space, views, and overall room design to pick a window that perfectly suits your preferences. You might even consider a specialty shape window for added character. 

In the end, bathroom windows not only tie the space together but also contribute to the overall exterior look of your home. So, don’t forget to consider the larger context while making your decision. 

With products like the E-Series offering customization options in size, shape, color, and more, you can truly design windows that align with your vision. Whether you prefer a low-placed window by the tub or a higher clerestory window, the possibilities are endless.
