    Hello,
    Window must be set in place with an epoxy grout or silicone. See below for suggested links regarding your question. Hope this helps!

    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!!!

    Hi- window treatments can be mounted by drilling holes at the tile grout lines, or use diamond bit to pre-tap holes and use plastic anchor to fasten, this will avoid potential tile damage. We wouldn't recommend this window treatment at bathroom as it will quickly accumulate soap scum and difficult to clean. Consider using a "frosted" film applied to the glass.
