Bathroom window coverings

It’s nice to have a window in the bathroom! It can make your bathroom beautiful and bright. In addition, opening the window after showering is also good for moisture evaporation.

Wooden blinds

Love wooden shutters? Then choose PVC slats for a wood look. These are virtually indistinguishable from real wooden shutters!

Roller shutter

Humidity can cause the roller shade fabric to shrink and even mold. So, it is not recommended to use roller blinds in the bathroom. Roller blinds are chosen to ensure that others cannot see the interior of the room during the day. But at night, it is dark outside and there are lights inside, which is very easy to leak privacy.
