Bathroom Window Replacement Ideas
By: Architectural Visions
Whether you’re remodeling your entire bathroom or replacing the bathroom windows, many options can complement your bathroom’s design and provide the privacy the space needs. Whether you select a casement window, tilt and turn window, or custom window, a new bathroom window can result in a space that feels entirely new. Read on for bathroom window replacement ideas.
Key takeaways for bathroom window replacement:
- Window finishes to window styles such as a casement window or tilt and turn window allow you to use a window style that aligns with the rest of the house but gives the bathroom the privacy you need.
- Textured glass, frosted glass, or privacy screens are window finishes that offer privacy.
- Different types of windows, such as glass block windows, stained glass windows, or custom-shaped windows, provide natural light and ventilation while resulting in additional privacy.
- The placement can keep the windows out of eyesight while providing sunlight and ventilation.
- Once the windows are replaced, adding window treatments can add a decorative element to the bathroom’s aesthetic. Alternatively, if you install casement or double-hung windows that match the rest of the home but don’t offer much privacy, window treatments can provide the much-needed privacy the space needs.
Bathroom window finishes
In a bathroom, one of the essential features of a window is privacy. Various types of window finishes can offer much-needed privacy. Applying window finishes to window styles such as a casement window or tilt and turn window allows you to use a window style that aligns with the rest of the house but gives the bathroom the privacy you need. Below are some ideal window finishes for a bathroom window.
Textured glass windows
Textured glass windows allow natural light to stream into the room while offering the privacy you need in a bathroom.
Frosted glass
Frosted glass windows are another type of window that provides privacy coverage while letting the light stream through. Frosted glass windows come in various forms, such as etching the glass or using a spray product. The entire window or only portions can be frosted.
Privacy screens
A window privacy screen is another type of finish that offers privacy. The types of privacy screens vary, and the level of privacy varies accordingly.
Types of windows
Different types of windows, such as glass block windows, stained glass windows, or custom-shaped windows, provide natural light and ventilation while resulting in additional privacy.
Stained glass windows
Stained glass windows are a decorative way to add beauty and function to a bathroom. Stained glass can be clear or colored, allowing sunlight to shine through artfully. The designs of the glass offer privacy that a traditional window can’t offer.
Custom shaped windows
Bathrooms, particularly smaller spaces and powder rooms, are an excellent opportunity for a custom-shaped window. A custom-shaped window can add character, allow airflow, and provide privacy depending on the type of glass.
Window placement
Where the windows are positioned is another way to achieve privacy in a bathroom. Below are some ways you can adjust the windows’ positioning to allow natural light to shine through while ensuring privacy.
High-set windows
Installing the windows in a higher position will result in a functional window higher than street level. This option is best for new builds or home renovations to avoid additional construction costs.
Skylights
Installing skylights will flood the bathroom with natural light without any risk of being able to see in.
Window treatments
Once the windows are replaced, adding window treatments can add a decorative element to the bathroom’s aesthetic. If you install casement or double-hung windows that match the rest of the home but don’t offer much privacy, window treatments can provide the much-needed privacy the space needs. Blinds, shades, shutters and curtains are all window treatment options that come in various colors, materials, patterns and textures to enhance the room’s design while offering privacy.
