Hello everyone,

we have planned our bathroom and are now facing a "problem." As can be seen in the picture, we want to install a trapezoidal bathtub. However, it partially extends in front of a floor-to-ceiling window (upper part can be opened, lower part is fixed). Now the question is how we can cover the part in front of the window. Does anyone perhaps have an idea? We are currently leaning towards tiling the front. But nothing has been decided yet. We are actually looking for a uniform covering. Many thanks in advance for your help.

Is the bathtub already installed? What is your current construction status?

1. Move the window / do without floor-to-ceiling windows (why do you do this in the bathroom?)
2. After installing the bathtub, think about it and always remember that you also need to clean the window.

Definitely move the window or arrange the bathroom differently. Otherwise, it looks like a planning mistake every day. A window is like a picture frame to the outside - even in the bathroom. Depending on what is outside and whether you want to be able to step out, a floor-to-ceiling window is simply very nice and brings in a lot of light. It doesn't have to be a storefront location.

We are building a timber frame house and it is already standing. We are currently working on the interior finishing, meaning moving the windows is unfortunately no longer possible. We had planned it that way because of the symmetry of the building. The lower part of the window is frosted, so it is not an issue from the outside. As mentioned, it is only about the cladding of the tub.

It is an existing building that is being renovated, right? Where are the connections for everything, where is the downpipe? I find the bathroom setup quite uninspired. The tub is rather a space-saving tub... with this beautiful room, surely more can be made out of it than such an emergency solution?!

No, it is actually a new build. We had looked at some bathrooms in advance and that pretty much suits our taste... except for the fact with the window. The space-saving bathtub is not dimensioned like in the picture; unfortunately, the software only allowed products from the provider, and they only offer small bathtubs. The one we want is 180 x 140. So, in other words, a bathtub for two, not chosen for space-saving reasons.
