Not every bathroom has a window, but if you have windows in yours, you know they’re nice to have. They let in natural space, which is never a bad thing in any room, and they allow for ventilation as well. When you are getting replacement windows in Garden City, ID, you will want to pay particular attention to what you get in the bathroom. Here are a few things to think over as you consider what’s best to get.
Privacy Is Key
There’s no room in the house where privacy is more important than the bathroom. Windows don’t always equal privacy, but there are certain things that you can do to ensure you’ll have it, no matter what. There are different types of glass, for example, that allow light in, but keep prying eyes out. You could also get windows that go above the bathtub so high on the wall that no one can see anything, but you still get sunlight streaming in. Consider privacy in every bathroom window decision you make.
Remember Functionality
Not everyone wants a window they can open in the bathroom and that’s fine. If you don’t care about ventilation, skylights work, as do picture windows or even decorative windows. But if you want an opening window, keep functionality in mind. You don’t want a casement window that cranks out over the side walkway or a window over a bathtub that you can’t reach to open and close. Functions are important if you want the window to be part of the operation of the space.
Enjoy Natural Light
Things look different in natural light than they do in artificial lighting and they almost look better in natural settings. The bathroom is often closed off from other parts of the house and it doesn’t always have natural light. You can increase how much yours gets with the windows you install. Windows today have larger glass space and smaller frames, so even if you get the same thing you have now, you’ll get more light. But you can do other things to ensure you have the lighting you want in just the right spots.
Consider Ventilation
With showers steaming up the room, it’s never a bad idea to be able to open a window to ventilate the space on a nice day. You could decrease the possibility of mold growth and enjoy a nice day at the same time. Consider finding a way to get windows that give you privacy, but also allow for that ventilation, as needed.
