I would like to remodel my bathroom. There is 2'-6" square window on the main wall above the tub. The window is wood frame with sash. I currently have a full shower ring with curtains to keep the window dry. Relocating the window is not an option given layout of the house. Can I consider replacing the window with a water proof window combined with tile or a shower surround? Thanks for your help.

I think that is a very good idea...a vinyl frame window and tile trim is perfect. Too often i see these windows that are almost completely rotted out...I'm sure you'll find yours started to as well.

I just replaced the window in our shower with vinyl. It looks great. The wood was pretty rotted out. I'm very pleased-
