Bathroom curtain is a common bathroom accessory, mainly used for blocking the shower area and separating dry and wet areas, combining practicality and decoration. The following is a detailed introduction about shower curtains:

1、 Main functions

Waterproof splash: Effectively prevents water splashes from splashing into the external area during showering, keeping the bathroom dry.

Privacy protection: Provide shelter for showerers to enhance spatial privacy.

Thermal insulation and heat gathering: gathering steam in cold seasons to maintain local temperature in the shower area.

Decorative: Rich colors and materials can be matched with different bathroom styles to enhance aesthetics.

2、 Material classification

Plastic shower curtain

Advantages: Low price, good waterproof performance, easy to clean.

Disadvantages: It is prone to hardening at low temperatures, may produce odors, and has poor environmental friendliness.

PEVA shower curtain

Advantages: environmentally friendly and non-toxic, soft to the touch, good drape, and good mold resistance.

Disadvantages: Thickness affects the water blocking effect, and being too thin can easily cause it to float.

PVC shower curtain

Advantages: sturdy and durable, good drape, and excellent pattern printing effect.

Disadvantage: It may contain a slight odor and requires ventilation to dissipate the odor.

Fabric shower curtain (made of polyester, cowhide fabric, etc.)

Advantages: High quality texture, good breathability, suitable for decoration.

Disadvantages: Regular cleaning is required, and humid environments are prone to mold growth.

3、 Structure and Installation

component

Curtain body: The size is usually 180cm x 180cm, with the lower hem 1-2cm above the ground.

Shower curtain rod: divided into straight rod (suitable for small spaces) and curved rod (expanding shower area), materials include stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.

Hooks/tracks: Plastic or alloy hooks, or flexible tracks (suitable for irregular areas).

key points of installation

Height of shower curtain pole: about 180cm above the ground, ensuring coverage of the shower area.

Location of water barrier: Installed on the outside of the shower curtain to prevent water flow from overflowing.

Fixed method: The straight rod can be equipped with an expansion rod (for easy disassembly), and it is recommended to use nuts to fix the curved rod to the wall.

4、 Purchase suggestions

material selection

Priority should be given to PEVA or polyester in humid areas, and PEVA should be chosen for environmental protection.

Due to limited budget, PVC can be chosen, but attention should be paid to ventilation.

Thickness and verticality

The recommended thickness is 0.1-0.15mm. Excessive thickness affects breathability, while insufficient thickness can easily stick to the skin.

A shower curtain with good drape can reduce shaking and enhance the user experience.

Size adaptation

The width should be greater than the actual width of the shower area (such as choosing a 180cm shower curtain for a width of 160cm) to ensure a tight closure.

Pattern and Style

Small units are suitable for vertical stripes or solid colored shower curtains, visually extending the space;

Match the overall color scheme of the bathroom to avoid exceeding three main colors.

5、 Cleaning and maintenance

Daily cleaning

Open the shower curtain for ventilation after each shower to reduce the growth of mold.

Plastic shower curtains can be wiped with vinegar to remove scale, while fabric products can be machine washed (sterilized with vinegar).

Deep Cleaning

Soak in light bleach or scrub stubborn stains with salt water when moldy.

Regularly replace shower curtains, especially plastic materials that are prone to aging.

6、 Matching suggestions

Small space: Choose transparent or light colored shower curtains to reduce the feeling of oppression.

Retro style: paired with floral and geometric printed fabric shower curtains.

Extremely simple style: solid or plain color shower curtains, paired with towels and floor mats of the same color scheme.

summarize

Shower curtains have become the preferred choice for separating dry and wet areas in small bathrooms due to their flexibility and economy. When choosing, it is necessary to consider the material, installation method, and spatial style, while balancing practicality and aesthetics. Regular cleaning and proper installation can extend the service life and enhance the bathroom experience.
