Bathroom remodeling, when should we have windows installed?

We are planning on having our bathroom remodeled. We want to replace the bathroom window, replace the floor tiles, tile and paint the walls, and have a sink and mirror installed. Here's my question: do we have the window installed first before the other things or last?

1. You'll want to tile around the window and make sure it is well sealed so the window goes into the framing, then tile backer board, then the tile. Window first, in other words.
2. I would say that you would want to install the window first because you are planning on painting and re-doing the tile, which should be done around the window. Installing the window afterwards could mess up the other remodelings that you plan on doing. Hope this helps.
3. You should install the window first. That way you can paint the trim around the window when you do the other painting. Aslo you don't want the window installers standing on your new tile floor and scratching up you new walls, etc.
4. Window first. I hope this answers your ?
