Bathrooms need windows for moisture to escape, reducing humidity and the spread of mold growth. By relying on natural air rather than a fan, ventilating your bathroom with the right windows will also increase your home’s energy efficiency.
These following windows are must-haves for any bathroom.
Double Hung Windows
This window opens at the top and bottom for excellent ventilation and ease of cleaning. It gives the home better energy efficiency, too. Its easy-to-grip lift handle makes it easy to open with one hand.
Sliding Windows
Sliding windows slide open with a push of a finger, making it easy to move left and right. These windows help improve energy efficiency.
Casement and Awning Windows
Casement and awning windows open outward at 90 degree angles and can do so for a prolonged period of time. A multi-point locking system will keep it shut tight. But if the user wants to open them, they can with ease with their folding nested operator handles.
Most window replacement companies will skimp out on weatherstripping. So, it’s important to ensure you have enough.
Consider Privacy
Bathrooms should be an inviting and relaxing space at home. Choosing the right window for the bathroom will have a significant impact on how its user feels in it. The windows, however, must also be private and make the user feel safe at all times. Installing a privacy glass or changing to a window that blocks vision would be of great help.
