Shower Curtains: PEVA, Polyester and Vinyl, Sizes, Liners, Rods and Hooks, Mould Prevention and Prices
Shower curtains keep water in the shower area and are the simplest way to separate a wet zone from the rest of the bathroom. The right one is waterproof, fits the opening, hangs on a rod that does not sag and resists mould. This guide covers materials, sizes, liners, rods and hooks, mould prevention, washing and indicative prices. For other bathroom ideas, see bathroom shower.
Materials
PEVA is waterproof and affordable, polyester is fabric-like and washable, and vinyl is heavy and durable. Check for a hem weight that keeps the curtain from blowing in.
Sizes
The common size is 180 x 180 cm. Measure the rod width and the drop, and allow the curtain to hang inside the tub or tray.
Rods and hooks
A telescopic or fixed rod holds the curtain, and hooks should slide smoothly. See curtain rods and tracks.
Mould prevention
Let the curtain dry open after each shower, ventilate the bathroom and wash it regularly. Use a mould-resistant material.
