We love an awning window in a bathroom because it can let in light and air while preserving privacy. Its horizontal shape is ideal for limiting how much of a room is on view, and it's often placed higher on the wall for exactly this reason. As for products, the 100 Series product line is a particularly good option because it’s made with Fibrex® composite material which resists rot and decay.* So don’t think that just because privacy is paramount in the bathroom, you can’t have windows too. We’ve got more bathroom windows selection tips.

In a bedroom, you want windows that will help you get a better night’s sleep. Certain window features, like triple-pane glass, STC upgrades, and laminated glass can help muffle outside noise. And there are also safety and security features that can help you sleep in a figurative sense by giving you peace of mind. Also consider that natural light intake has been shown to improve sleep,* so having more windows to soak up more daytime lighting could help as well.
