Bathroom Window Ideas That Don’t Compromise Privacy

A great bathroom window pulls in light without compromising your privacy. Many homeowners install window treatments to protect them from prying eyes, but that may also mean limiting the light coming in from the outside.

To let natural light pass through your bathroom windows without being concerned about your privacy, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco shares these ideas:

Go Small

Limit the view to the interior by minimizing window size. Replace your old windows with high-set portholes instead of full-height glass units,. Even a single, oversized round window can admit enough sunlight and provide a view of the sky while also protecting your privacy.

Build a Clerestory

The clerestory is an excellent choice for bathroom windows. Its placement guarantees privacy while conveniently illuminating the rest of the room. With reflective surfaces, it might be the only window you need to naturally brighten up your bath.

Filter the View

To completely eliminate any worries about your bathroom’s privacy, invest in textured glass. Translucent windows allow only a blurry view, but they let in plenty of light.

At Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco, we offer four patterned glass options to lend your bathroom windows translucence. Beyond our standard obscure design, you can pick from our fern, reed and cascade patterns for character and appeal.
