Do You Want A Window In Your Bathroom?

When you get replacement windows in Truckee, CA, it’s a good time to ask yourself questions about the setup of your home and the windows you currently have. If you’re going to make any changes, it’s now or never. You might ask what colors you like for frames, what materials are better, or where you might want to place new windows. For example, do you want a window in your bathroom? Here are some reasons why you might or might not want a window in that space.


No, I Like The Privacy


Some people will automatically say no to the idea of having a window in the bathroom because they want the ultimate level of privacy that having no break in the walls allows. There’s nothing wrong with that if that’s how you feel. It’s your house and you can do as you please!


I Would Like Some Natural Light


IT’s hard to get lighting just right in a bathroom. When you use artificial lighting, you might not ever be able to see right to put on makeup or fix hair, among other things. Having natural light can help you out a great deal, but it’s understandable that you don’t want to kill your privacy, either. Consider a skylight, if your bathroom is set in a location that is conducive to one. You could also maybe get a picture window that sits above the tub, high enough it’s out of the way of prying eyes, but still brings in natural light.


No, There’s Not Space


Some bathrooms are small and cozy and the only wall space you have is taken up by the shower, the toilet, and the vanity. If there just isn’t room for a window, you might be stuck without the option of installing one.


Ventilation Would Be Nice


Bathrooms can get steamy after hot showers and it can be hard to see into the mirror to get ready once things steam over. Having an overhead fan is a good start, but if there’s a window in the space you can crank open even a small amount to let in some fresh air, it can really help as well. You might consider a window that has fogged or bubbled glass so you get natural light and have the option of ventilation, but no one can see in when the window is in place.
