This will 100% happen if you don’t provide ventilation. We framed new picture windows into an old steel frame shop window and had mold growth within a few months. Easy enough to fix but certainly extra time and money. Good luck!
Majority of windows can fairly easily have the glass swapped out and you can do a frosted glass It's also not that complicated to frost glass. I think either would be a better option as you would maintain the use of the window but personally I don't like Windows and showers cuz I've never seen one without issues.
Mom made sure to open her bath window daily, if only an inch in bad weather. She also kept a plant hanging at the side, one that loved sun and moisture. She lived in that home 45 years, without that window rotting. Of course, she kept up with the painting and a new roof.
And when the window change out time comes you will need to rip all this out, along with whatever condescension is stuck in the moisture trap. Don’t do this. Change out to a an opaque fixed window.. $300 flat.
Automotive grade frosted film would have worked way better and give a cleaner look to the room (I'm sure there's a installer in your area they aren't that expensive either)
If this were my house I would try and put tints on the window so people can’t see inside. Because I’d love to look out the window during a shower that would be great. When you’re feeling frisky open the window and smoke a cigar out the window
Only acceptable if you have a vent fan to get rid of excess moisture in the air after hot showers. Still better to just use frosted film on the panes of glass in the original window.
So I would have either contacted the window company that made that unit and see if the sashes or just the glass could be replaced with privacy glass and if not then get a new window from the same company. caulking never 100% seals forever. That being said it doesn't look bad it just makes that window unusable now and could be a potential moisture trap.
I think code is that the window has to be able to open. Also, the window behind will make moisture behind that is sealed now and has no air movement. Most likely will have a mold issue
I think the code is it has to open unless you have a vent fan to the outside which I do so should be okay there. I’ve thought about mold and will keep an eye on it over time.
Looks pretty good! I really thought they would have special windows designed to be installed in extreme humidity areas 🤔 & I would love to have the glass that changes from clear to fogged on its own. Depending on where it’s facing it would be nice to have natural sunlight & view from the waist up!
In my opinion, its super important to be able to open the window after taking a shower or bath, otherwise moisture will build up.. so this is a big no from me
Be careful with heat buildup between those windows. Depending on which way the window is facing and how hot the sun gets it can create a heat buildup between the window and that piece of glass you put in and possibly crack the window or the glass.
Now you can't see out of that window, and also when it's dark out..and the light is on inside. Anyone outside can sorta see you. So only shower when it's light out? Looks nice, not a good idea tho
All restrooms with a shower should have either a working exhaust fan or an active window. Looks like that window was operational. Hopefully you have an exhaust fan.
Great looking bathroom , but if you can't see out the window what's the point of the window.. im sure there are one way windows or something similar to be able to see out but not in?
Ok, many builders will place a window that opens in a bathroom to get over a loop hole of NOT installing a moisture removing fan. I can't see from your video, now that you covered the window that opens do you have an exhaust fan?
We tested that and luckily you can’t see it. During a shower we’re about 12-18 inches from the glass so you can’t see anything. Even if we get up close to it you can’t see in. The film we used is really effective!
I rewatched and at least the frosted side isn't facing towards the shower. Having it face the window is going to be an alarm system to alert you when moisture leaks inside, if you start seeing through spots of glass do not delay because you've got leaks and mold risk
A fixed frame window would’ve been the best option there and then taping everything but the glass and applying a frosted spray. Now if the window was already there, gotta do what ya gotta do
Why not use aluminum sash easier to take apart for Cleaning. 3/8” a bit much but ok hopefully its tempered and why not just buy new IG units for existing windows
@@RLLWoodworks You did such a great job on your window. I doubt you'll have any problems there. I'm just personally torn on whether I like them after the tint. Did you come across any 2 way mirror type products in your research? Where the consumer could still see out the window.
That's all good but youll need something like some window blinds (faux or pvc). Lest your neighbors or peeping Tom's will easily be seeing your silhouette when showering at night and the light on.
Bro, get a frosted fiberglass window. 100% chance that void is going to be full of mold in a few months. Just because you can film bad ideas, that doesn't mean you should share them.

Would be easier to just apply film on the glass no?
well steamy showers dont mix well with adhesive paper
@@rileywhite5091I’ve had on my bathroom window for 6 years now with no issues.
@@danny_hampton you did it correctly most people find a way to mess it up
@@rickygervaissgyno4081 also product type most people like to go for the cheap option
@@rileywhite5091 it's not paper, plastic. I got the cheapest one , works fine. Actually it's too difficult to remove
Cool idea my man. But over time, moisture will trap itself in between the old window and the new frosted glass you put in. Moldy moldy moldy.
Yeah I’ve thought about that especially when the weather changes. I’ll keep an eye on it and go another route if/when needed.
Drill holes at top and bottom for ventilation
This will 100% happen if you don’t provide ventilation. We framed new picture windows into an old steel frame shop window and had mold growth within a few months. Easy enough to fix but certainly extra time and money. Good luck!
It's guaranteed, just wait for the cold weather
exactly. dumb idea to begin with

Now have someone take a picture from outside at night while you shower
And see a blur.. you think it was better before??
@@crustyflatonion9595 better than before , yes
Rustolium frost spray paint. $6 looks amazing, couldn’t be easier to apply
Hey thats a really good idea
I was about to recommend this very product 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
But now i cant open it. Also if i shower when its dark out they can still see me
No they can’t. Maybe if he pushes his body against the glass which is highly unlikely.
Pff change the glas. Got white glossy on the outside and raindropstructure on the inside. Best combo ever. Triple glass
No they won’t. Can’t see through frosted glass.
New shower feature, a greenhouse for all sorts if interesting stuff to grow.
We did this and ended up with a massive termite issue!!! Beware!!!
Courtains, ¿counter-windows?, privacy sheets on the original windowss, and you still can open to allow moisture goes away.
And when the window change out time comes you will need to rip all this out, along with whatever condescension is stuck in the moisture trap. Don’t do this. Change out to a an opaque fixed window.. $300 flat.

Most people take out the old window before installing the new one
Some $50 blinds would do wonders 😁
A good set of vinyl mini blinds, would have solved that.
There's tint you can put on your house windows. There's also privacy frosted tint. It's easy to put on and easy to take off and cheaper.
And you can still use the window
Why not just frost the original window?

For sure. Posted a short on 8/12/22 of the vent fan if you want to check it out.
I would have gotten the old window replaced with ‘real’ new privacy window

I hope you have your bathroom well vented outside. Usually windows in the shower mean no vents.
Yes definitely. Posted about it a few days ago.
It looks nice, but remember the window is used for the moisture to be released
Windows in a shower never made sense to me.
Did you just bury a double hung window?
In my opinion, its super important to be able to open the window after taking a shower or bath, otherwise moisture will build up.. so this is a big no from me
Be careful with heat buildup between those windows. Depending on which way the window is facing and how hot the sun gets it can create a heat buildup between the window and that piece of glass you put in and possibly crack the window or the glass.
Curtains also work really well.
Now you can't see out of that window, and also when it's dark out..and the light is on inside. Anyone outside can sorta see you. So only shower when it's light out? Looks nice, not a good idea tho
We tested that, can’t see it at all at night so all good.
Is it possible to just change out the existing window glass for frosted glass without removing the whole window?
Did you put a led light in shower
I like the look of it. Would someone be able to see the outline of someone inside when the light is on and it’s dark outside?
We tested that and luckily you can’t see in, even a silhouette so that’s good.
This is the best options I’ve seen for the shower window solution.
Thanks!!
Not really just fit a blind
Waterproof curtain , that can change and add some color to the shower .
All restrooms with a shower should have either a working exhaust fan or an active window. Looks like that window was operational. Hopefully you have an exhaust fan.
What about when you turn the lights on when it's dark outside?
We tested that. Still can’t see in thankfully!
@@RLLWoodworks must be some new thing, you can see perfectly through mine.
Why not frost the wonder that’s already there? So you could still have privacy but also not need to build another window around it
Definitely could have done it that way. Just thought this looked cleaner and won’t be too hard to remove if needed.
If you don’t order the window with frosted glass, use frosted glass, looming film. This video creates a mildew aquarium.
How do you open the window?
You can buy sticker opaque stuff that goes on the windows. Then you can still open that window when you clean or want a breeze (for poopin.)
😆😆😆
Code requires window or fan or both
Great looking bathroom , but if you can't see out the window what's the point of the window.. im sure there are one way windows or something similar to be able to see out but not in?
Privacy film , cheap and removable
Film or replace the glass with obscure. Now you can’t even open the window
Ventilation is key to avoiding moisture ?
Laaaaame. It's so nice to open the window when showering.
Should the glass be directly on the tile? I heard that little glass clink and it makes me nervous
Was it really necessary to use the suction cup for that little piece of glass?
Awesome job
Why have a sliding window when you seal it out with this window? Great workmanship though.
Ok, many builders will place a window that opens in a bathroom to get over a loop hole of NOT installing a moisture removing fan. I can't see from your video, now that you covered the window that opens do you have an exhaust fan?
That privacy glass only half helps at night time with the lights on in the bathroom
We tested that and luckily you can’t see it. During a shower we’re about 12-18 inches from the glass so you can’t see anything. Even if we get up close to it you can’t see in. The film we used is really effective!
@@RLLWoodworks nice
definitely not.. what's the point of frosted glass? stupid idea.. no window...
Because it’s a shower and I don’t want my neighbors to see me naked
@@RLLWoodworks why not just use frosted film over existing window glass? If you don't mind me asking.
It does look sharp.
Why not just put a decorative film over the window and get the same result with much less work.?
Could have tried that too.
Excellent choice to not be able to air out your shower lol. Just put some frosted stickers on the glass my man
We put a vent fan right above the shower 👍
I just installed a window with obscure glass. Works pretty ok.
Neighbors are going to get a cool silhouette show.
Mold issue aside, when frosted glass gets wet it turns transparent... Water fills in the texture that is causing the optical frost effect
I rewatched and at least the frosted side isn't facing towards the shower. Having it face the window is going to be an alarm system to alert you when moisture leaks inside, if you start seeing through spots of glass do not delay because you've got leaks and mold risk
Swap out the glass in the window for frosted glass..... So much easier
How about getting privacy glass on the windows?
Couldn’t you have gotten some frosted window paint? Or actually frosted the window?
Super clean!!
A fixed frame window would’ve been the best option there and then taping everything but the glass and applying a frosted spray. Now if the window was already there, gotta do what ya gotta do
No ventilation in a bathroom is not really a good idea, the ceiling be full of mould in next to no time
I have a vent fan right above the shower 👍🏻
Why not use aluminum sash easier to take apart for
Cleaning. 3/8” a bit much but ok hopefully its tempered and why not just buy new IG units for existing windows
Nice, but you can just rattle can some frosty stuff on there. Maybe $10, some tape and a few minutes.
New Sub
..I am here to learn.
Great thanks!!
I put in glass block in my shower's outside wall. I didn't need to use the lights in my shower in the morning
But how do you open the window?
Hopefully you left the window unlocked to clean it
Yes, plan to do maintenance on it a couple times a year.
Neat idea.
How about a frosted piece of shower door glass made and use shower door hinges. That would give you access to window.
Do you regret having the window at this point or you like it?
No regrets so far, no signs of mold or condensation but will keep checking as the weather changes.
@@RLLWoodworks You did such a great job on your window. I doubt you'll have any problems there. I'm just personally torn on whether I like them after the tint. Did you come across any 2 way mirror type products in your research? Where the consumer could still see out the window.
How are you gonna keep the moisture out of between those layers
Brilliant!
I think it would be better to plan out your bathroom and picking a privacy window because people make those 😊
Don't even have to plan it just replace the window.
Ending shot is from the inside. Should have had a shot from the outside to show the privacy effect.
id worry about condensation build up between the windows, youd see a foggy window from outside.
You can buy a spray can of frost film by rustoleum I believe. A lot less hassle & still have the ability to open the window. Too late now...
Maybe should have just taken the window out and used glass block. Think that is going to be a problem with moisture later on.
What if a fire and your in bathroom ? I see this causing safety issues with fire dept
Hello massive damp issues....
Just get some new window modules with frosted glass. You can still open the window and your house won't suffer from damp
That's all good but youll need something like some window blinds (faux or pvc). Lest your neighbors or peeping Tom's will easily be seeing your silhouette when showering at night and the light on.
Frosted film tint on the outside. No issues for 10 years now
If you demod this bathroom beforehand it would have been simple to hang a new window with frosted glass
If you buy tempered glass it will be a safe window for the shower. Tempered is not much more cost than regular glass.
How the hell do u open the window 🪟
I would miss the Ventilation … could’ve bought the peel and stick frost or paint in frost for the window
Yeah that's nice but you have just used frosted vinyl over the windows
If you're outside you can still see the silhouette of the person in the shower.
The problem is for bathrooms u don't get clear glass u always get frost
But you lost the use of the window. Another idea would be peel and stick window decals to add privacy but still be able to open the window.
Frost the windows??? That would be so much cheaper and easier or just change the window.
How about acid etching the existing window instead?
Just hope that outside window never breaks
Impressive!
Why would you do this??? Just get frosted glass vinyl to stick over existing window.
Nope. I'd just have to be exposed.
Heck if they looking at me while I'm in the shower.. That's a compliment. (If they not laughing)😂😂
Bro, get a frosted fiberglass window. 100% chance that void is going to be full of mold in a few months.
