If you want to get the most out of your new windows, you have to make sure they suit the room where they will be installed. This is especially important in the bathroom, where safety, comfort and privacy have to be taken into account. The trusted window and door replacement company in the area, Renewal by Andersen® of Phoenix, shares what to consider when getting new windows for your bath space.
1. Select a window style that meets code requirements. The building codes in your area will dictate just how tall and wide your bathroom windows should be. Apart from that, regulations may also limit your choice of window styles. Casement and sliding windows typically meet code requirements because they’re operable, meaning you can use them to safely and easily exit your home in case of an emergency. You’re free to have a lovely picture window installed in the bathroom – just make sure there are operable windows in there, as well.
2. Consider ventilation. Bathrooms generate excess moisture, which not only affects comfort inside the space, but also encourages the growth of mold and mildew. You should consider casement and double hung windows in your bathroom. They are incredibly effective at providing ventilation, helping ensure that fresh, cooling breezes are drawn into the space, while warm, moisture-laden air is turned outside.
3. Decide where you’re placing the windows. Strategic window placement can make a huge difference to privacy in your bathroom. Larger windows should be positioned higher up the wall. This allows for greater privacy, while also ensuring that sufficient natural light can find its way into the space. And if you have a wonderful view above the sink or bathtub (that doesn’t face any neighboring houses), how about placing another window there? You can make your bathing experience more enjoyable with a lovely view outside.
