Is it time to upgrade your bathroom windows? A few critical considerations can help you determine the best options for your unique space.
Weigh these essential factors to make your decision stress-free and elevate your home’s design.
Begin by assessing bathroom replacement sizes and the available wall space in the room. Your home’s architecture and the window’s placement will influence your size choice.
Other influential variables in selecting a size include your privacy preferences and how much daylight you’d like to invite into your bathroom.
Many people think windows are unnecessary in a bathroom, but a window can benefit this room by providing essential ventilation that allows heat, humidity and moisture to escape. Windows also let natural illumination into your space.
Tiny windows are not your only option, either. Consider choosing a more generously sized window and having it installed high above the interior walls to ensure the utmost privacy while allowing natural light to flow into the room.
Taller, large bathroom window styles let ample sunlight in, creating an illusion of space that makes any room look more inviting.
You can add interior design elements to prioritize privacy, such as curtains, blinds or shutters, or apply textured decorative film over the glass panes. These are ideal solutions for homeowners looking to let natural light into their bathrooms without feeling exposed.
How can a window add practical value to your bathroom? For instance, ventilation is essential to combat moisture and potential mold growth, so a window style that opens is typically preferable for this room.
Energy efficiency is another factor that can impact bathroom window functionality. Choose Renewal by Andersen® Energy Star products to regulate temperatures and reduce your utility bills.
Your bathroom’s aesthetic and design can determine what replacement window style will work best. Frame materials, colors and grille patterns significantly influence the look and feel, so select each factor carefully to emphasize your architecture and interior preferences.
Your chosen style will also impact the room’s temperature, ambience and how much natural light can enter.
Several replacement window styles can suit your bathroom’s aesthetic and functional needs. Explore our top picks.
Casement windows, also called crank-out windows, are a go-to choice for bathrooms. This style offers a classic appearance, excellent ventilation and effortless cleaning. They have a weathertight seal where the frame and moving sash meet, minimizing energy costs and locking out unwanted moisture when you close the window.
Our casement windows also feature an actuator bar to lock the window in multiple points for advanced security.
Double-hung windows are narrow, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms where you want ample privacy. You can open the top or bottom sash for optimal ventilation and fresh air. These windows look stylish, and their sashes tilt out for easy maintenance.
Another top style for bathrooms is a sliding window, also known as gliding windows. They are an excellent choice for smaller bathrooms with limited space. They let in plenty of natural light and can slide open from either side to welcome airflow. Sliding options are low-maintenance because they have fewer components than other window styles.
Bay and bow windows are ideal if you’re interested in maximizing daylight and enjoying your view. Bay windows feature an angular design, while bow windows curve outward, creating a stunning indoor effect. These options are fantastic for making your bathtub look and feel luxurious.
