Tub Surround with Window

[Dan Hoehn]

I seam to always have rentals with windows over the tub, and am conflicted every time I go to remodel because I can never find a tub surround that looks decent and I hate cleaning grout. All I have found in the past is to Tile, or use something like FRP panels that looks like a gas station bathroom.  What have you guys done for your rental properties with windows over the tub. Are there off the shelf tub surrounds that can be cut for window openings? If so, could you point me in the right direction. Thanks

Here is a picture of the current bathroom I'm working on. Thin plastic panels were glued to the wall initially.

@Roy N. What do you mean by you replace windows with ventilation? What exactly are you putting in place of your window?

If you have adequate mechanical ventilation in your bathroom - a bath fan and/or HRV recovery intake - you do not need an operable window, especially over a tub w/ shower.

One thing to keep in mind if you decide to install window film onto a bathroom window is whether the film will come into contact with substantial amounts of water. If so, it is highly recommended to use a cast vinyl privacy film such as dusted or frosted crystal. It certainly wouldn't hurt to seal the edges as well with caulk. One of the products we have used and have had success with is dusted crystal. - https://privacyfilms.com/colle...
