Hello everyone,
I’m currently thinking about options for privacy protection on our bathroom window.
Clear glass would be my preference because it suits the uniform façade design, but my partner finds curtains impractical in the bathroom. He leans towards frosted glass.
Now I’ve come across frosted window film, which can be applied afterward. The advantage is that I could install it only once I’m in the finished house and realize that privacy is really an issue. It could also be applied only to the lower part of the pane.
My concern is whether the film might eventually peel off due to moisture from steam (and I like long, hot showers...).
Has anyone had experience with this? Or are there completely different ideas for privacy solutions?
Thanks in advance!

In my opinion, films are always a compromise. I have something like that in my rental property, but for a new build, there should be something better.
I would spontaneously tend to go for a pleated blind. I also find curtains in the bathroom strange (but I find curtains strange in general – even my grandmother no longer uses them).
It would also be wise to consider this topic during the planning stage. For example, I don’t understand why anyone would want floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom, especially facing the street…

Floor-to-ceiling windows are not really up for discussion. However, in most residential areas nowadays, it is often unavoidable that a neighbor has windows at the same height as your own bathroom windows and can therefore look inside.
By the way, tastes vary; for me, pleated blinds are neither particularly attractive nor especially high-quality.

In our condominium, we also installed film (from Bauhaus). It has held firmly for over 7 years, despite the typical bathroom humidity after showers or baths. There were different designs available back then, and now there are certainly many more. Therefore, I would initially lean towards clear glass and then possibly use film later. If after several years you no longer like it, you can simply replace the film (which is not a huge investment or time commitment), whereas with glass this is less likely to be done (due to time and cost).

I would also start with a foil membrane. If that doesn’t convince you, you could consider blinds: there are already some that can be mounted within the frame.
Generally, I’m not a big fan of pleated blinds, whether in the bathroom or elsewhere: they always look a bit sloppy when hanging crooked or unevenly in front of the window.
Roller blinds will certainly become popular again in the next few years, and everyone will want them then.

Of course, appearance is a matter of personal taste, but there are also very high-quality pleated blinds that differ significantly in quality and appearance from typical DIY store versions. We chose pleated blinds because you can adjust them to be opaque depending on your needs. With film, once it sticks, you can no longer see outside.Similar topics
