    Best Window Styles for the Bathroom

    Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco

    The bathroom is a place that requires generous natural light and ventilation, allowing it work efficiently and prevent moisture-related problems. Unlike other home areas, it doesn’t demand scenic views and considers privacy a major concern, especially when located near the ground.

    That being said, you can’t use any window you like in it. To satisfy your bath’s unique, functional needs, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco recommends these types of unit:

    Casement

    The casement is popular in window replacement not only as a means of egress in upper-floor bedrooms but also as a fresh air source. Composed of only one movable panel, the casement lets you maximize the size of your wall opening. Since it cranks out, it makes the entire aperture available to usher in clean and cool air while expelling moist, stale indoor air.

    When closed, it offers the tightest seal among operating units. It soundproofs your bathroom, allowing you to recharge yourself in your own personal oasis.

    Double-Hung

    Although it doesn’t let every inch of wall opening available to let the air in and out, the double-hung is a fairly efficient ventilator. With or without external winds, opening its both sashes at the same time promotes adequate ventilation using the stratified airflow within the bathroom. The upper sash serves as a way out for the moist, indoor air, while the bottom acts an entrance for fresh drafts.

    Sliding

    Sliding units are used in windows replacement when space is at premium. If you have a small bath that can’t accommodate oversized windows, the sliding type could make the most of your wall’s width for adequate daylighting and ventilation.

    Transom

    Transoms are generally used for decorative purposes, but their utility isn’t purely aesthetic. When designed to be movable, they can ventilate your bathroom without having to open your main windows. To raise your level of your privacy, cover your bigger units and leave them untouched for non-stop daylighting.

    Tackle your window replacement on a room-by-room basis. Call Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco now at (866) 609-5033 to talk about your project in detail with no obligations required. We’ll be happy to schedule your free consultation in San Francisco at your convenience.
