We Stock Small Vinyl Shower Windows
Why are Small Vinyl Shower Windows So Hard to Find?
Most American homes have several small vinyl shower windows with either a fixed glass pane or horizontally sliding panel. They’re typically three or four feet wide and 12 to 18 inches high. Shower windows bring in natural light and vent steam well, but their small size makes them difficult to manufacture. Thus most window companies, especially larger ones selling builder-grade products, don’t produce them due to their limited economic benefit. This is why small vinyl shower windows are hard to find. Some manufacturers bow to customer demand by offering fixed-pane versions, but no sliders which allow for needed ventilation.
Other companies’ shower windows typically have thick frames and very little glass
What Else Should I Know About Vinyl Shower Windows?
Vinyl shower windows are not designed to get wet on the inside
Vinyl shower windows are designed to stop rainwater from getting into your home. However, they cannot tolerate continual water exposure from the inside. This is why large windows do NOT work well in showers or wet areas. That’s because they may be regularly subjected to water from shower heads and wands.
Both water & bath products damage them
As noted above, vinyl shower windows cannot tolerate water exposure inside your home. Unfortunately, the same is true for soap and shampoo that may splash onto them and seep into their sealants. Any appreciable amount of water or fluid coming into contact with window seals will eventually cause them to fail. They erode them from the inside out.
Smaller vinyl shower windows placed higher up are better
It’s best to install small vinyl shower windows high enough to be relatively unaffected by water and other fluids. If you’re building or remodeling a bath or shower, contact us about the best vinyl shower window for your needs.

Fixed Picture Shower Windows

PW 2010T – Fixed Picture Window, Tempered Clear Glass – $154.57
Slightly larger than the 1010, this fixed picture window can be used singularly or in multiples. It can provide extra “splashes” of light around the bath or shower area. This size also makes a great under-cabinet kitchen mount.
PW 2030T – Fixed Picture Window, Tempered Clear Glass – $177.30
The 2030 is a medium-sized fixed window that can be used in a shower. However, it should not be in the direct path of water flow or exposed to excessive soap or shampoo residue. A window like this is best placed at the foot of the shower furthest away from the shower head.
PW 3010T – Fixed Picture Window, Tempered Clear Glass – $160.01
Non-operable windows like this one are very common in showers. Most often installed at head height, they deliver good outside views with lots of natural light.
PW 3020T – Fixed Picture Windows, Tempered Clear Glass – $177.30
Robust picture windows like the 3020 are a good fit for showers but a bit less popular for this purpose. They’re usually installed high up on the side wall or on the end wall opposite the shower head.

PW 6010T – Fixed Picture Window, Tempered Clear Glass – $182.74
The 6010 is an extremely long non-operable window which can only be used in extra-large showers. It is also used over entry doors and high on walls where space is limited but natural light is required.

Ringer Windows also carries other commonly used, bathroom-size vinyl windows not generally suited for showers or tub enclosures. A good example is our 2030 single hung window which comes in eight different configurations. Often found in toilet rooms and master closets, it’s ideal for bathroom walls.

Operable horizontal sliding windows are routinely used for this purpose and occasionally fixed picture windows. We stock both a large horizontal slider and several fixed picture windows for garden tub applications. Naturally, all have tempered glass for code compliance. Blinds are frequently used because of the window’s location next to a large bathtub.
