My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Window in shower

10 years ago
We are building a house. The front of the house has a large window in the shower. It looks like you used an obscure window? What type of framing is that? I'm worried about seeing through as well as water damage.

    Brooke: for windows in showers, you should use a metal type window such as aluminum clad aluminum, alum clad vinyl, or all vinyl window (vinyl coated metal). The interior side basically needs to be metal or vinyl coated for being in wet areas. Then, choose an obscure type tempered glass of your choice.
