Custom Bathroom Window Treatments for California Homes
Would you install the same window coverings in bathrooms as in other parts of your home? Probably not. That’s why the bathroom interior design experts at Window Fashions of Northern California offer styles that suit these all-important rooms.
This isn’t only about styles—bathrooms can get hot and humid, and those conditions impact certain fabrics and materials. Your bathroom windows deserve the same TLC as every other window you have, and since we feature Hunter Douglas, you’ll be getting the very best products and services.
How Moisture and Heat Affect Bathroom Window Treatments
Showering and bathing generate significant moisture and heat in bathrooms. Steam and humidity damage certain materials, eventually causing warping, mold growth, or deterioration. Windows near showers and tubs need materials that withstand these conditions. Heat resistance becomes equally important in California’s warmer regions, where direct sunlight can cause fading and material breakdown.
The location of your bathroom window determines the level of needed protection. Windows facing east or west receive intense morning or afternoon sun, requiring fade-resistant materials. Ones near bathtubs or shower enclosures need more moisture protection than in powder rooms or areas with better ventilation.
Bathroom Window Treatments That Resist Heat and Moisture
Hunter Douglas offers these beautifully designed, durable window coverings for bathrooms:
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters
These shutters combine classic appeal with modern technology that stands up to the elements. The Polysatin™ material resists warping, cracking, and discoloration that typically affect wood shutters in humid conditions. The solid construction provides excellent privacy control and adjustable light filtering; a non-porous surface repels moisture and resists mold.
EverWood® Faux Wood Blinds
With the authentic appearance of real wood, these composite blinds offer superior durability and moisture resistance. The synthetic materials resist warping, cracking, and fading that can affect bathroom hardwood blinds, while the protective finish resists stains and cleans easily.
Modern Precious Metals® Mini Blinds
These aluminum blinds also resist moisture, humidity, and heat damage. The metal construction won’t warp or deteriorate in steamy bathroom environments, while the tilting slats give you light and privacy control.
We recommend these custom bathroom window treatments for openings farther away from showers, tubs, and sinks:
Designer Roller Shades
Hunter Douglas offers these modern roller shades with moisture-resistant fabrics; they operate smoothly, even in humid conditions. The continuous fabric surface provides clean lines that work well in minimalist bathroom designs. Choose from a wide array of roller shade fabrics, from translucent to opaque.
Provenance® Woven Wood Shades
This style uses natural materials like bamboo, grasses, and reeds for an artisanal look. The natural textures of woven shades create a visual interest that complements Cali design elements like stone countertops; the interesting weave patterns and colors coordinate beautifully with existing bathroom elements.
Vignette® Roman Shades
These fabric shades have consistent horizontal pleats, creating elegant window treatments suitable for primary bathroom suites. We customize Roman shades in different opacity levels to meet light and privacy control needs.
