Bathroom window considerations: Ventilation
Proper bathroom ventilation is key to managing humidity and moisture in your home. Your bathroom windows can help combat condensation. Excess humidity or moisture in your house can create an environment for mold and mildew to grow.
Bathroom window considerations: Privacy
Bathroom privacy, especially with first-floor bathrooms, is a high priority. Infinity has decorative glass options to provide privacy while still allowing natural light to enter a bathroom. We have nine decorative glass options, including a frosted glass choice. You can bolster privacy by adding curtains or window treatments to your bathroom windows. If you want to replace a bathroom casement window or switch to a casement window, our tuckaway handle folds away nicely to remain out of the way of most window treatments.
Privacy glass options
Decorative glass options are ideal for spaces like bathrooms to balance natural light and privacy. Each has a unique design or pattern for a custom bathroom look.

Small bathroom window ideas
Bathroom shower windows
Bathrooms often feature windows, but one place where they can make a big difference is in the shower. A window in the shower can provides more natural light and better ventilation. Double hung windows and slider windows work as shower windows because of their easy operation, but picture windows can pop up there, too. Adding privacy glass to shower windows allows to enjoy the benefits of sunlight while obscuring outside views.
Best types of windows for bathrooms
When choosing the best window for your bathroom, you’ll want to decide if you’d like to be able to open the window. You can combine a window that opens along with a fixed window to enjoy both fresh airflow and natural light.
Infinity builds windows for any space, including big and small bathrooms. You can choose any of our operating windows or use a picture or transom window for your bathroom. Windows that are frequently used in bathrooms include: sliders, casements, awning, double hung, skylights, and picture windows.

Slider windows
Slider windows make a smart choice for bathroom windows. You can open them just enough for ventilation. Slider windows come with two or more sashes. The sash expands the area for natural light to enter the bathroom. Infinity can customize slider windows to fit perfect in small bathrooms. Learn more about Infinity bathroom window design options by scheduling a free, in-home appointment with a design consultant.

Casement bathroom windows
Casement windows are a good option for bathrooms. Casement windows can stretch higher than other windows. They’re tall and narrower than slider or awning windows. If you have a smaller bathroom, a casement can fit in well to provide ventilation and sunlight. Pairing window treatments with bathroom casement windows can help add privacy.

Awning windows
Like casement windows, awning windows crank open to add ventilation to a bathroom. That's helpful to keep humidity levels low in your home. They can fit in tight places and the handle makes it easy to open and close. Awning windows installed high on walls can provide privacy without using decorative glass.
Double hung windows
With two operating sashes, double-hung windows work well as bathroom windows. You can open the top sash to allow hot air from a shower to escape and you can open the lower sash to allow cool air to enter. Double-hung windows can be customized to have a taller upper or lower sash. Choose decorative glass for privacy or add window treatments to limit visibility from the outside, too.
Skylights
Skylights have become a popular home window option. They work well in top-floor bathrooms with limited space, filling the space with natural light. You can find skylights at a Marvin dealer.

Picture windows
Picture windows don't open, so they don't provide ventilation like other windows. They do offer design flexibility to have you bathing in sunlight. However, special shape windows can fit into bathroom corners. They can also fit high on bathroom walls for natural light.

Spa-like bathroom ideas
You can transform your bathroom into a spa-like experience through your windows. Custom windows constructed to fit your bathroom expand the space for natural light to cascade down. You can also find a variety of special shape windows to fill the space. Or, you can add gentle curves with arch windows. Infinity features slim window frames to give you more glass area for more daylight.
What type of window is best for a bathroom?
The best type of window for a bathroom depends on the space. Casement windows can fit larger bathrooms the best. Slider and awning windows can be best for smaller bathrooms because they can stretch wide. They can also come in smaller sizes to work in smaller bathrooms.
