Pros
Speaking of the advantages of having a window in the bathroom, you can immediately tell about the practical advantages:
- Ventilation is one of the most important aspects of the bathroom. If you have a window in the bathroom, then airing the room will be much easier, more pleasant and faster. Air from the street will save the room from excessive moisture and enrich the space with oxygen and freshness.
- From morning to evening you can enjoy natural daylight, and in summer or spring combine the adoption of a normal bath with a sunny one. At night, if you turn off the lights and light the candles, you can, sitting in hot water, look at the stars and the moon. In addition, the availability of daylight allows you to save electricity.
- For designers, the window in the bathroom is a great inspiration. Its special design can make the bathroom unique and romantic.
Location
The location of the window may depend on how its main practical functions, lighting and ventilation, will be performed. In order for the ventilation to be effective, it is necessary that the window be placed at a minimum of 1.7 m. This position will be useful for your ceiling: thanks to the constant airing of the mold, it will not be possible to settle on it. To prevent condensed moisture from flowing into the bathroom, the window should be placed with a walk out to the street for about 10-15 cm.
It is not recommended to place the window too close to the bathtub or shower, because cold and windy days can cause the window to cool. In addition, the window should be easy to access. If you like to enjoy the views from the window, arrange it so that you are most comfortable, lying in the bathroom, looking at the street.
Selecting the form
The shape and appearance of the window should correspond to the overall design and style of the bathroom, so that it fits into the overall picture and does not spoil the designer's work.
The window can be:
- square;
- rectangular;
- round;
- oval;
- in the form of an arch.
