Picture Windows Inside Shower??
在拐角浴室中，我计划在角落里有一个湿房间，里面有一个淋浴和独立浴缸。在湿房间内，我想在角落安装两个图片窗口会议。
我想避免在如此潮湿的地方避开木窗。Andersen 100系列Fibrex Windows可以很好地工作吗？还是我应该只使用基本的乙烯基窗户？
I’m in Vermont, so condensation due to cold glass is a concern. Elsewhere in the house the windows will have Andersen’s HeatLock coating, but perhaps these windows shouldn’t have HeatLock, since it would result in a colder inner pane and more condensation inside, right?
I’d hate to go to the trouble to install these just to have them completely fog up anytime someone uses the shower, so how do I avoid that? (Triple pane would be nice, but not sure if they are available in Fibrex or vinyl, plus the cost might be prohibitive.)
感谢您的建议！

我建议您先检查代码，然后再跳跃。

Section 308.4.5 seems applicable to your case.
Powderski, I always try to avoid having windows in showers but have done it several times anyway. Any fixed window with a PVC or fiberglass frame should work. As Mark notes, it has to have safety glazing, and you also need to detail the interior to shed water just as you would the exterior. On a few occasions I have specified a separate piece of "frosted" (acid etched) safety glass at the interior.
Powerski,
As Michaels said, any PVC of fiberglass window should work. The problem is that windows are specifically designed to resist water intrusion from the exterior, not the inside, so some profiles of either type may not be appropriate. I'm not sure beyond looking at them how you could find out. I doubt any manufacturer will be willing to say their product will work in that situation.
Much more important than the window is how the surround is detailed. That's where the potential for water damage is.
No matter what window or glazing you choose, I don't think there is any hope it won't fog up during use. Glass shower walls do, and they have a much smaller DeltaT in the same humid conditions.
Malcolm, good points. There is an anti-fog coating you can use on shower glass or ski goggles; maybe that would work for the windows. Or a heat source blowing across the window, but that would get complicated.
也许Rain-X？
马克，感谢您提醒我要获得钢化玻璃。那是个很好的观点。
Powerski,
我总是尝试为WIND0W供应商提供完整的计划，而不仅仅是窗户时间表。建筑法规可以需要钢化玻璃。条目，窗户高度低的窗户，楼梯降落，湿区，接近地块线等等。将责任放在供应商上，以确保玻璃覆盖代码意味着任何错误，而不是您。
Powderski,
Anti fog wipe on coatings wipe off eventually. Making them 100% even is also problematic.
I am looking at solving a similar problem for a wet tub/shower room though perhaps not quite as full frontal. The attached pdf from Thermique is what you are looking for I believe. Haven't gotten to call them yet.
The tree hugger link gives another perspective on your plans. If you have a large solar array, I guess you could get a pass.
As a practical matter, I can't imagine the stresses being placed on a seal that has 10F on one pane and 90+F on the other. Also, the non-heated performance U values might make such a window a very poor performer. Leaving it on all winter might be costly.
Some of the following links are for overseas companies, but perhaps there are US vendors. Maybe the one in Chicago is the best answer.
