Bathroom Window Treatments

Moisture-Resistant Window Treatments

Clearly, our first priority in the bathroom is privacy. But depending on your climate and bathroom layout, your window treatments also need to withstand humidity.

For an area near a tub, shower or spa, look for window treatments made of moisture resistant materials. Great options are:

Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters

EverWood® Alternative Wood Blinds

Modern Precious Metals® Aluminum Blinds

These products are made from materials that are guaranteed to never warp, chip, crack or fade even in the most extreme conditions.

Top-Down/Bottom-Up Shades

If moisture is less of a concern, you may want to consider shades that can be opened from the bottom and also from the top. These shades create the perfect balance of privacy and natural light.

Shades that come with Top-Down/Bottom-Up functionality include:

Vignette® Modern Roman Shades

Duette® Honeycomb Shades

Provenance® Woven Wood Shades

Add PowerView® Motorization for shades in hard to reach places, such as over the bathtub.

Solutions for Large Bathroom Windows

Luminette® Privacy Sheers are a great choice for large bathroom windows. When the vanes are open, the sheer fabric filters the light and illuminates the room. When the vanes are closed, the opaque fabric provides the privacy of a drapery.

3 Creative Use for Smart Window Shades

Back in the day, when you wanted to raise or lower your window blinds, you had to go over to the window, grab the cord and pull it in some fashion to get the shades to be where you wanted. Then, in some cases, you had to use another lever or cord to adjust the position of the blind slats to make them closes entirely or to be open a bit.
