My bathroom is always freezing cold in the winter...?

Question

I think its because I have metal windows, but I can't change them because I live in an apartment complex... How can I make my bathroom warmer?

Answer 1

If your bathroom is large enough,you make want to invest in a small electric heater. Just make sure you keep it away from anything that will burn.

Answer 2

You might complain to the super about noise. If it's a "metal window" it's probably an old school single pane window, which does not insulate against temperature, or noise very well. Doing so might prompt the super to replace the window, or maybe even plant some hedges outside. Hedges outside could cut the wind chill factor around the window, which might do a bit. It would be in the super's best interest to do so, as climate control in an inefficient building is expensive.

I'd also check the vents. They might be closed, or clogged, or nonexistent (complain to the super?)

Or, you could try some DIY plans: Use some of those springy poles to install lacy curtains up in front of the window. This will create a "dead air" space in front of the window, to help insulate it. Keeping the blinds down, if you have them might also help. Thicker curtains could also be placed around the window, but that will require drilling.

Some rugs will help the room to feel warmer to your feet. IF you've got a ground floor apartment, the slab can suck the heat out fairly well, so this can make a lot of difference.

The metal pipes, and the water in them also conduct heat well. If you can get at the pipes, you should be able to wrap them up to stop the transfer a bit. A padded toilet seat cover will also help, and non-skid stick ons for the shower may be of some use, as they rarely feel quite as cold as the shower floor itself.

That's the main things you can do which will have the most effect. It also might help a tiny bit to keep the toilet lid down, install an incandescent night light, and leave hot water in the sink/tub when you're done using it.

Answer 3

On a cold windy day, run your hand across all areas of your window and frame looking for cold air blowing in. Chances are it's not very well sealed.

If it's just a single-pane window, you will do well to go to Home Depot and buy some plastic you can seal around the window. It's cheap, but it creates an air barrier and keeps it from getting quite so cold.

If it's double-paned, and sealed, running your hand around should help you identify the cold spots. These you can grout up (if something like an outlet) or cover with plastic or otherwise block the cold air from coming in.
