If you've read our previous blogs, I think you know that we've long recommended that you use acrylic instead of glass, especially in places that are inconvenient.

Yes, bathrooms. If there is one room that needs the most privacy, it is definitely the bathroom. Perhaps you still use glass as windows and partitions in the bathrooms of your home. Then I bet you don't know that there is a better product - frosted acrylic panels.

Nowadays, the use of acrylic panels for bathrooms has become a new trend in the market. We can use them not only as windows, but also to make bathtubs and bathroom walls.

Why is acrylic sheet the best product for bathroom windows?

Easy to clean

It is well known that glass windows are actually difficult to clean. In contrast, acrylic cleaning is too light. All you need is a damp cloth to wipe the dirty areas and you can basically fix most stains.

Plenty of light

I think even if they are taking a bath, there are many people who prefer to take a bath during the day. It's nice to have a nice bath in the sun, right? Then I'm happy to tell you that frosted bathroom windows made of acrylic panels can provide you with more light than glass. Acrylic itself is more transparent than glass. If you install such windows, you can experience more natural light in your bathroom, which will make your bathing experience more pine proof. You can even put some small green plants in the bathroom because there is plenty of light.

Easy to install

I'd like to know how you installed the glass windows. I would venture to guess that it must have been handled very carefully. I don't even have to ask what I say next. You must also know that if you install acrylic, you do not have to be so careful. This will come in very handy during your home renovation.

Affordable price

Perhaps in your mind, acrylic panels are expensive, but in a small room like the bathroom in your home, replacing glass with frosted acrylic panels does not have to cost a lot of money. Compared to traditional frosted glass, frosted acrylic has the advantage of being twice as light as glass, but 30 times stronger. Not only that, it's also much cheaper than standard glass. So you are perfectly entitled to replace glass with frosted acrylic.

Where can I install windows?

I get asked this question over and over again - should I use glass blocks or acrylic blocks in my window projects. While I will tell you that I do have a bias, I will do my best to recommend the best product for my clients. In some cases, using acrylic is much better than using glass.

Fully operable bathroom windows and upper level window projects

This is where acrylic block windows shine the brightest. The great thing about acrylic is that it is a lighter material and the window can be fully opened on hinges (as opposed to glass block windows where you can put in a small vent, but don't have the ability to fully vent the window). Acrylic block windows are available as casement windows, single-hung windows, awnings and sliding windows. If you are looking for fully operable kitchen windows, bathroom windows, or other upstairs windows, acrylic is a great choice.

Formed upper story windows 

Since glass block windows are only available in square and rectangular sized units, they are not suitable for formed windows. If you're looking for vaulted, domed or octagonal windows with a blocky look, acrylic is the only choice!

Windows located in the shower space

Since the use of abrasive shower cleaning products can void the acrylic block window warranty, I recommend using glass block windows for shower spaces. Glass block designs are easy to clean and provide a highly private pattern.
