Bathroom Window Guide: Sizes, Height, Frosted and Pattern Glass, Aluminium, uPVC and Wood Frames, Louvre and Sliding Types, Ventilation, Security, Sealing and Indicative Rates in Pakistan
A bathroom window brings in daylight and fresh air, and the glass, frame and position decide how private, safe and weatherproof the room is. Prices run from about PKR 4,000 for a small aluminium window to PKR 25,000 for a uPVC unit with double glazing. This page covers sizes, height, frosted and pattern glass, aluminium, uPVC and wood frames, louvre and sliding types, ventilation, security, sealing and rates in Pakistan. For related pages see bathroom fans, ensuite bathrooms and washroom standard size.
Sizes and height
Common bathroom windows are 45 by 60 or 60 by 60 centimetres up to 90 by 60, placed high, at about 150 to 180 centimetres from the floor, for privacy and light. A window area of about 5 percent of the floor area gives basic daylight. Check local building rules for ventilation.

Privacy glass
Frosted, pattern or tinted glass lets light in and keeps the view blocked. Choose obscure glass of 5 to 6 millimetres, or a film for existing glass. Keep clear glass for upper panes only if no one can see in.
Frame materials
Aluminium resists damp and is slim, uPVC insulates and resists rust and wood needs sealing. Check that frames have drainage and good seals. Stainless hinges and rollers last longer.
Types: louvre, sliding or top-hung
Louvre windows give adjustable airflow and suit hot climates, sliding windows are simple and top-hung windows keep rain out while open. Choose a type that is easy to reach and clean.
Ventilation and security
A window should open at least partly even when it is raining, with insect mesh. Add a grille or a limiter on ground-floor windows for security. Pair the window with a fan, see bathroom fans.
Sealing and waterproofing
Seal the frame to the wall with silicone and flash the sill to drain water away. Slope the internal sill so condensation runs off. Poor sealing leaks and causes damp patches.
What to check before buying
- Glass. Obscure for privacy
- Frame. Aluminium or uPVC
- Opening. Ventilates in rain
- Sealing. Silicone and flashing
Window or fan
A window brings daylight, and a fan removes steam on demand. Windowless bathrooms need a fan on a timer. Fixed plumbing should be done by a licensed plumber.
Before you decide
Choose obscure glass, a damp-proof frame and an opening that ventilates in rain. A good bathroom window keeps the room bright, private and fresh.
