Bathroom Window Treatments
Privacy first, then something that survives the moisture.
The Problem
Privacy first, then something that survives the moisture.
Bathrooms ask two things of a window treatment that no other room does: absolute privacy, and the ability to live in humidity for years without warping, yellowing, or growing mildew. Almost everything that fails in a bathroom fails for the second reason.
That rules out real wood and most paper-backed fabrics, and it puts a premium on materials that were engineered for wet rooms rather than adapted to them.
What We Recommend
What actually works in a bathroom
These are the treatments we specify most often here, and why — not a catalogue, just what holds up.
Faux-wood blinds
They give you the look of a wood blind with none of the rot risk, and they will not warp or yellow the way cheap foam blinds do. They are heavy, so they need proper brackets — which is a reason to have them installed rather than to hang them yourself.
Polysatin plantation shutters
Hunter Douglas Palm Beach shutters are made of polysatin compound rather than wood. They are light, wipe clean, will not crack or fade in a steamy room, and carry the best warranty of anything we can put in a bathroom.
Motorization for the tub window
Most bathrooms have one high, awkward window over the tub that nobody ever reaches. Motorizing it means it actually gets used — programmed to open for daylight and close to hold heat in through the winter.
Top-down-bottom-up cellulars
The one configuration that solves a ground-floor bathroom: daylight from the top of the window, complete privacy across the bottom, at the same time.
