Bathroom Windows Replacement

Factors to consider

• • Energy Efficiency
    • Vinyl windows are known for their energy-efficiency. This means that they not only offer superior thermal protection compared to other window materials, vinyl windows increase insulation in a way that reduces your home’s energy consumption. This means your home’s heated or cool air does not escape, nor does the air from the outdoors infiltrate your home through those windows. It also means you’ll have more savings in your utility bills!
      • The Energy Star Seal: This is basically the blue sticker that guarantees the window you’re about to purchase won’t be leaking air. It also ensures that the window has insulation properties that bring your energy costs down by up to 10%.
      • Low-E Coating: This means there’s a metallic layer applied to the glass of your window that essentially allows the sun’s energy into your bathroom without preventing heat loss. This is what helps the home temperature stay regulated in spite of what is happening beyond the walls. 

• • Sizes
    • Windows sizes vary depending on numerous factors. For example, a custom sized or custom shaped window would depend on the room of the house, and what the homeowner is looking for. However, here are the standard sizes one can expect:

Window Sizes Based on Window Types

• • Building Code
    • Every country has its own rules when it comes to window installation. As such, you need to be mindful of the building code when you are adding or replacing windows in any room of your home. If you are not, you may be held accountable for it and be fined. So make sure you’re up to date with all sets of rules and regulations of window installation where you live. If you aren’t, you can always hire an experienced window installer. Not only will they be able to give you an accurate estimate, they’ll also recommend options that are within the guidelines of where you live.

• • Price
    • Window prices vary as it is, and the same can be said about window prices for the bathroom. In order to figure out how much a bathroom window installation or replacement will cost you simply look at the standard prices within your area. You can do this by researching online, filling our online windows cost estimation tools or by calling your window installer directly, and simply asking. More often than not, the amount falls between $450 to $1500 depending on the type of window and the room in which you want the window installed.

• • Warranty
    • One important thing to remember is to never purchase windows that do not include a warranty. A good installer will offer warranties on both the window installation as well as colour and other configurations. While the window may be advertised as top quality and durable, you never know what can happen a little ways down the line. Another thing to inquire about is whether your bathroom window installer is bonded and insured. Your windows installer might be highly reputed and ranked as the best - but anything can happen during the installation process. You want to make sure that your installer has you fully covered in case there’s an accidental mishap while the installer is working. At NorthShield Windows and Doors, our installers are both bonded and insured and we provide our clients with reliable warranties. Our warranty period on windows varies depending on the different components, such as:

Best Windows for Bathroom

• We’ve all seen the standard windows in bathrooms. To be very honest, windows do not need much flair or design. That is not to say you cannot add it if you want to. However, it is important that your bathroom windows have two key factors: energy-efficiency and operability.
• With vinyl being the material selection, we have energy-efficiency pretty much covered. Now it’s time to consider possible options for the operability. This basically means we need to pick windows that can be opened in an effective yet efficient manner. While we carry a plethora of bathroom window options to choose from, here are some of our favourites to incorporate into the space:
• • Awning Windows
    • Awning windows are ideal for bathrooms because they have a hinge at the top side of the frame, and the bottom of the sash opens away from the frame. Once opened, the sash allows air to pass through while blocking out any rain or snow - which makes this design the most optimal considering the window can be left open in any kind of weather. Another perk of this window type is that awning windows are created with privacy glass so people cannot see into the home when the window is open. As such, privacy is completely preserved, which is a crucial element to consider when installing a window in a bathroom.

• • Custom: Awning Combination
    • A lot of people would opt for casement windows in the bathroom. While it isn’t a bad choice, it may not be the most ideal. However, if aesthetically that is what you want - you can definitely go for it. However, if you’re looking for another optimal window addition - consider customizing your awning window to include a fixed window at the bottom and an operable top. By combining these two window types, you get the best of both worlds. The fixed window allows for privacy and energy-efficiency of the bathroom, while the awning allows for proper ventilation.

• • Casement
    • Casement windows come in third when it comes to the best window type for your bathroom. They are a great energy saver and temperature regulating option to consider. Apart from being easy to clean and maintain, this window type opens 93 degrees for air circulation and is fully customizable to meet your aesthetic needs.

• • Slider
    • The last one on our list are slider windows: single slider tilt and double slider tilt. While these are not as efficient as those mentioned above, they still hold value. These are quite cheaper than awning or casement, and also have the ability to open (operable) in order to circulate the air around. The only downfall is that since this window type relies on weatherstripping to fill the space between the sashes, it is prone to freezing when temperatures drop. However, there are ways around that - you can upgrade slider windows by adding a low-E coating or ETI foam to improve the window’s efficiency and effectiveness.
