Factors to Consider When Choosing Your Bathroom Window

There are important factors you need to consider when choosing your bathroom window. It should be private, can be tightly locked, but still can ventilate your space easily. Window replacement contractor Renewal by Andersen® of Montana is here to help you choose the right bathroom window for you. 

Window Size

Most residential bathrooms have small bathrooms that tend to appear cramp and dark. To make your bathroom look bigger and comfortable, a bigger window is advised. Bigger windows let in more natural light, illuminating more bathroom space. Just make sure that your windows are properly closed or covered when you need privacy.

Window Transparency

Generally, windows are designed to be clear and transparent. However, when it’s for your bathroom, you should choose a window that maintains your privacy. Skip the widely transparent picture windows and instead go with windows with frosted or textured glasses. This way, an ample amount of natural light can still improve your bathroom space without risking your privacy. 

Window Style

Choose a window style that is aesthetically beneficial and functional to your bathroom. You should keep in mind that bathrooms get humid and can trap moisture. So choose a window that can easily open for ventilation. Bathrooms need to have good air circulation to prevent mold and dispel odor. 

Window Placement

You can use your bathroom window’s placement to your advantage. Placing your window higher than the head height on your bathroom wall gives you more privacy. Skylight windows are also a good option with their ability to provide more natural light and privacy at the same time. 

Sliding windows may not be perfect for your bathroom but they’re great for rooms with a view. For professional windows installation services, trust Renewal by Andersen of Montana. Call us at (406) 259-3944 or fill out our contact form to schedule an appointment.
