How to Deal With Windows in a Shower

Renters

• 1

  Spray the window with a frost spray to give the glass a cloudy appearance. Apply several light coats of spray to make it almost opaque, and no one will be able to see through it in either direction.

• 2

  Hang a shower curtain across the window to keep water off the sill. Choose something decorative and a fancy curtain rod to match your decor.

• 3

  Construct a pair of shutters to put on the inside, using old house shutters or old cabinet doors. Paint them with exterior paint and put several layers of boat varnish on them to make them waterproof.

Owners

• 4

  Remove the windowpanes and install glass block in their place. This provides privacy and you can seal the block with waterproof caulk to protect the surrounding seams and prevent leaks.

• 5

  Tile the inside wall of the shower up to the edge of the window and caulk to prevent leaks.

• 6

  Add a marble or granite frame and windowsill to prevent rot from forming on wood.

• 7

  Finish around the outside of the window with whatever materials you have on the exterior of the house. Seal with waterproof materials to keep water from coming into the walls.
