When it comes to windows for your showers, two choices matter most: a vinyl frame and tempered privacy glass. At The Shower Company, we install shower windows built for a wet environment and made to meet the safety codes that apply around any shower. Here is what we recommend and why it matters for your bathroom.
Why Vinyl is the Only Right Frame for Shower Windows
When we replace a window in a shower, the answer is always vinyl. It is the frame we recommend every time and the one we install for our customers.
The Frame We Install in Every Shower
A shower is a wet area, which is why the frame you choose matters. Vinyl is the material we trust for shower windows, and it is what we recommend for any replacement in or around your shower.
Why We Do Not Recommend Other Frame Materials
Because vinyl is the right choice for a shower, we do not use other frame materials in this spot. If a contractor recommends something else for a window in your shower, we suggest a second opinion before you commit.
Pro Tip: For any shower window replacement, ask for a vinyl frame. In our experience, it is the only frame that belongs in a shower.
Choosing the Best Glass for Windows for Showers
The glass matters as much as the frame. For a shower window, we recommend two things: privacy and tempered safety glass.
Frosted or Privacy Glass for the Shower
A shower window should give you privacy. We recommend frosted glass or another privacy option, so no one can see into your bathroom from outside. It is the practical choice for a room where privacy matters.
Why Tempered Glass is a Must
Tempered glass is a safety glass. If it ever breaks, it shatters into many small pieces, much like a side window on a car. It does not come apart into the large, dangerous shards that ordinary glass leaves behind, which is why we use it in showers.
Key Takeaway: For a shower, we pair a vinyl frame with frosted, tempered glass. That gives you privacy and safety in one window.

What the Plumbing Code Requires
Shower windows are covered by plumbing code, not personal preference. These rules exist to protect everyone who uses the bathroom.
Safety Rules for Windows for Showers
Plumbing code requires that any glass around a shower area be tempered for safety. This applies to the glass in and around your shower window, and it is the standard we meet every time.
Why This Matters for Your Family
Tempered glass protects people using the shower. In a wet, slippery area, safety glass lowers the risk of a serious injury if a window is ever broken. Meeting this code is how we help keep your family protected.
