How to cover window when showering

funnymonkey

Good afternoon.
Can anyone please give me an idea of how to cover the window when having a shower as my wife is worried as the bathroom window is very large and right where the shower is.
Many thanks

Had a similar situation in our previous house and wife was worried about it despite the window having a frosty glass.

Ended up fitting a water resistant roller blind like http://amzn.to/2j9zbga or http://amzn.to/2hfe73L

There are also other expensive but aesthetically pleasing options like fauxwood Venetian blinds like https://www.web-blinds.com/innovation-chic-white-fauxwood/ which are water resistant as well but personally I would avoid them as they are too expensive.

All the best.

I have a shower curtain which goes in front of my window, it it secured to the wall at both ends, and hangs from the ceiling.

We are having a new pane with integral blind fitted.

If the existing glass is not frosted ( unusual, in a bathroom ) then you can buy self-adhesive clear plastic that will give it a frosted appearance and make it opaque. It's perhaps not the most elegant solution, but very cheap 'n' cheerful.


Failing that, a simple roller blind from Dunelm or The Range or suchlike will only cost a few quid, and they're very simple to fit.

That sounds like a great hack!

OP - Just so that you know, Ebe is referring to something like http://amzn.to/2Asij8F

Just to add as we had same problem we got a blackout blind from dunelm about £17 ish. It's been up three years now and needs changing cos it's water damaged but it's cheap enough, and they come in many colours.

In the meantime OP - until you've found a solution where do you live :rotfl:

We have same issue.
Bought an extending shower curtain pole (£10 wilko) and a cheap shower curtain.
Problem solved but depends on the distance between walls

Our window is over the bath, so we're stood right in front of it when we're showering too.

We bought a moisture resistant roller blind from Dunelm. We put it up at the start of April and now, 7 months later, it still looks as good as new. We leave it down for a while after showering though, to make sure it is fully dry before rolling it up.

We use a shower curtain. It matches the proper shower curtain and is easy to wash so no issues with blinds going mouldy.
