Windows in the bathroom are debatable with some embracing the natural light and design perks and others admonishing the lack of privacy. Nonetheless, there are plenty of bathrooms that contain windows in the bath or shower area. This presents a bit of a challenge when it comes to remodeling. However, rest assured that professional bath installers have a few tricks up their sleeve to work around windows when remodeling your bathroom.
It All Starts with a Custom Touch and Precise Measurements of Your Bath/Shower Walls
In the design phase, our experts will come to your home and take a series of measurements. These numbers will be used to custom-fabricate shower walls that fit around the existing windows. When your products come in, the installation team will fit the fabricated shower walls to your space and around the windows.
Easy-to-Clean Window Trim Designed for the Bath
The window area in a bath or shower area is finished with a durable, mildew-resistant window trim designed for use in wet areas. This trim protects the frame of the window from moisture damage, making sure that your bathroom remodel looks great for years to come. And what’s even better is that this special window trim can be matched to any Luxury Bath color schemes for a seamless design.
Consider Adding a Shower Door that Lets the Light Shine Through
Once your shower is in place with the window intact, don’t forget to find ways to let that light shine through. Remember that the choice to put a window in the bathroom was for natural light. And that light doesn’t do any good if it can’t escape the bathing area. We recommend skipping the shower rod and curtain combo in favor of a translucent glass door in rain (slightly opaque) and clear finishes. Door options include:
- By-Pass Slider Doors
- Barn-Style Doors
- Swing Doors
- S-Curve By-Pass Doors
And when it comes to choosing a shower door, there are so many details that contribute to the final look. In addition to the glass choice and door style, you will also get to choose metal finishes for the frame and handles. Choose from these great options:
- Brushed Gold
- Brushed Nickel
- Chrome
- Matte Black
- Oil Rubbed Bronze
Don’t Overlook Other Windows in the Bathroom
If your bathroom includes windows outside of the bath area, don’t forget to extend the same great details to make everything match. Water-resistant window trim options work inside and outside of the bathing area and can help protect the wood window frame from exposure to steam and moisture. Plus, a bead board wainscot can pull the whole room together.
