Window treatments for bathrooms

In the bathroom, moisture resistance is an absolute must. Not all window treatments are suitable: wooden blinds and fabric curtains can develop mould or warping from constant exposure to steam and moisture. Aluminium venetian blinds are the safest choice: they don't rust and are easy to clean. Roller blinds with moisture-resistant fabric (polyester or PVC) are a stylish alternative.
