Best bathroom windows: Styles that enhance privacy, light and ventilation

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

Infinity custom builds windows to fit nearly any space. We can make small windows for bathrooms. Awning, slider, transom, and picture windows work as small bathroom window ideas. No matter the size of your bathroom, you can find a window that fits for ventilation, privacy, and sunlight.

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.

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.

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.
