What kind of waterproof window blinds do you recommend be used in a shower?

14 years ago

I love this bathroom. I also have a (larger) wooden window in my shower, which is getting directly hit by water. I can't replace the window, put need to protect it from water. What do you suggest?

This is so helpful. I want to put vinyl plantation shutters in my shower. Similar to photo below. My contractor says he needs to tile into the recessed area to protect it from moisture, but my shutter guy does not want to risk drilling holes in the tile to mount the shutters as he is afraid of cracking the tile. I have these all over my home and really wanted this look. Can you advise any way to protect the recessed area for the shutters to still be installed? The shutters are vinyl and waterproof. Thank you!!!
