How to Cover a Wood Frame Window in a Shower

A wooden frame in a bathroom window can be prone to rot -- especially if the window is in the shower stall. Many people coat the shower window frame with latex paint, but moisture can still seep through. Even if you have a powerful bathroom fan that sucks out moisture quickly, the wood on a shower window frame is still prone to damage. There are ways to coat and treat the window frame so that it is completely waterproof.

Polyurethane primer
Polyurethane paint
Masking tape
Brush

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off your shower and let all moisture evaporate from the stall. Wait for the shower and window frame to completely dry.
- 2
  Place masking tape on the borders of the window frame to ensure you do not paint over the stall walls.
- 3
  Apply one coat of primer to the window frame using your brush. Wait for the primer to dry.
- 4
  Apply a coat of polyurethane paint in the color of your choice to the frame. Wait for it to dry.
- 5
  Apply another coat of polyurethane paint to the frame and allow it to dry. Apply more coats of paint until the desired depth of color is reached.
- 6
  Remove the masking tape from the frame.
