When choosing windows for your bathrooms, there are slightly different considerations to take into account. In general, bathroom windows need to let in a good amount of natural light while also maintaining privacy.
In this post, Eagle Creek Siding, LLC discusses factors you should consider when selecting bathroom windows.
Size. Size is something you have to consider very carefully. The bigger the window is, the more natural light will enter your bathroom. Having a window that’s too big, however, can affect the privacy of your room. That’s why balancing your needs for natural light and privacy is key to figuring out the ideal bathroom window size.
Transparency. Windows typically have transparent glass to provide a clear view outside. However, using this type of window glass for your bathroom window isn’t generally recommended, especially if you want to keep the space private. That said, select the appropriate opacity, color and texture of window glass so that plenty of sunlight can still enter the space. Stained, frosted and seeded glass are just a few of the options you might want to consider.
Orientation. Proper placement of your bathroom window is also important. Placing your window at a very low height can cause some issues, but it’s still possible as long as you choose the proper shape, frame materials and glass type. Typically, bathroom windows are placed higher than usual to allow more natural light into the space while also providing the necessary privacy. Skylights are an excellent choice if you’re simply looking to bring more natural light into your bathroom.
