What if there is a window In the shower?

8 years ago
Hello, sorry, my english is not that good.

I would like to have feed-back from ones how have done a transformation for a small bathroom. Is anyone coule answer to my question please? See the following question.

I was reading the Newsletter "Before and After: 9 Small-Bathroom Transformations That Wow Ready to remodel in 2018? Get inspired by these bathroom projects that are less than 60 square feet" that featured bathroom makeovers. I realy liked the propositions 1, 2, 7 and 8. But, in these exemples, we see a window for both, bath and shower. Could anyone tell me if it is a problem? See the picture from that Newsletter.

I have to transform my bathroom, but I don't know if I have to change the location of the shower and the bath because of the window. Is somone can tell me what I should do? Do you have any suggestions or tricks?

...Thanks!
Happy new year!

    Do either a frosted glass or one where you can see out but others can’t see in. One of the best showers I ever took had a huge window overlooking the ocean, but no one could see inside.

    My philosophy is “the more windows the better “, even if you need obscure glass ( many options ). I like as much light as possible in my house.

    We've been putting frosted glass in showers for a long time, clients love them and we love them. They offer a lot of light, but still give you the privacy most people want.

    We have one in the shower of our smallest Bathroom - no Problem at all ( window with Ornamentglas - I don`t know the english word...privacyglass maybe? )...offers light and a good prevention of mold.

    I am not a fan of having a window in the shower, unless it is a "gun-slot" window above the showerhead. But, if you have a window in the shower (like I did in my first house) make sure that it is waterproof and sealed well so it won't be destroyed by the damp/wet conditions. Then use some obscure or frosted glass for privacy. This is a fairly common issue and you probably will have a ton of options. Good luck.
