Currently the window of my bathroom is designed as per the pictures below. I noticed that during night time, when the bathroom light is on, the shadow viewable from outside the house is quite visible.

Also I don't like the idea of having the grill at the current location. The water and soap from the shower will make it rust, and it also makes the toilet cleaning job more difficult.

Would like to ask those who has this problem before, how did you solve it? I prefer to maintain the glass where more natural light can come in.

I'm currently thinking of the following, but not sure will it work or not.

Options:

1) Make the top casement window smaller, and change all the bottom part to glass blocks. But a bit worry about the skill of the workers, else the join around the glass blocks will not look good.

2) To move the grill to the outside wall, with maybe 6 or 8 inches away from the wall so that I can open the window slightly for ventilation. But I think the shadow will still be visible, do you think if it will help by putting a light outside of the windows? So both the inside and outside light will be on at the same time, maybe will become less visible?

3) Any other ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance

thanks but from what i see on the neighbouring houses, the sticker doesn't seems to work at night. most of then will still need to hang a towel or cloth to cover it up

opaque film shall do the trick but then i'll need to let go the natural sunlight during day time. want to try to keep this if possible


ya considered this but since it's just next to the shower head, may i know will it be easy to clean? and will it get dirty easily by the soap scum?

if possible, would appreciate if you could share a picture of your set up?

thanks

ya that's what i'm thinking also, but a bit hard to simulate the light without actually buying and fixing 1 first

Thanks

The current window glass is already frosted type. I see got ppl stick on another layer but seems that it doesn't help much

Ya close up the bottom part is easy, but I'm trying to see if I can still maintain the natural light in as it will help to dry up the bathroom very much

Thanks, actually the original glass is already the frosted type. but the shadow is still quite clear at night.

Noted about the additional panel. But i think if put it inside, might trap water and difficult to clean. let me see if i can put it outside instead

as my shower is right next to it, i'm afraid the blind will get dirty easily and difficult to clean.

or maybe there are some different types of blind that is suitable for this purpose?

thanks

Thanks. Do you mean you are using Daiso curtain to cover the windows?

Actually the current glass is already frosted type, so cannot see though. But the shadow from the light during night time is still visible.

Thanks but as mentioned, I'm trying to keep as much natural light in as possible. So wanna see if there's any other options

Thanks. May I know what type of tint is this?

Coz those normal privacy tint (reflective), it only works on day tine but not at night.

yes i went with the same film as well.

actually after some checking i found that frosted one got 2 types (pure frosted vs white frosted). choose the white frosted one which is 90% cannot see through , maybe only slight shadow but not obvious from far. can choose this type. i bought it online and diy stick it outside the windows, now almost 1 year so far still ok, no peeling off etc.
