Choosing Shower Curtain Designs

A shower curtain is basically a piece that goes over the tub to stop unwanted shower water from pouring onto the floor. The shower curtain also protects the entire shower cabin and prevents excessive mildew forming. It also adds aesthetic value to the shower, by preventing people from seeing through it. There are many different types of shower curtains, which offer different features and benefits. In this article, I will discuss some of the different types Canvas available.

Shower curtains are made of vinyl, typically vinyl that has been coated and dyed to withstand exposure to water, and is usually available in dark colors. They can come in two-piece designs, which means you simply get the two pieces and the bottom piece snap together. These types of curtains are usually fairly inexpensive and do not take up a lot of space in your bathroom. A shower curtain usually goes outside of the liner, which adds privacy and decorative value to your bathroom. The liner can either be attached to the side of the tub or to the back of the shower.

Liners are usually made of PVC, which is not waterproof, but offers excellent waterproofing properties. Shower liners can either be attached to the top of the tub, which is the cheapest option, or they can be attached to the back of the shower. If you choose to go with the attached option, make sure you use a non-slip liner, as slippery as it may seem. The advantage of attaching shower curtain liners is that you don't have to deal with the disadvantages of shower curtains being prone to water damage. However, there is also a major drawback, as the liners can get messy and need to be cleaned frequently.

If you would rather install a shower curtain without the hassle of installing one on the walls, then a flexible liner is an excellent choice. These shower liners are made out of cloth or a similar material and are designed to roll onto a frame within your bathroom. This is the least expensive option, but you do sacrifice quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to movement. The frames can be mounted at different heights within the bathroom, which makes them very convenient and space saving. The only drawback of a flexible shower curtain liner is that you do have to regularly clean it to keep it from becoming stained or moldy, as a result of moisture seeping through. If you don't mind having to periodically vacuum and scrub the area, this might be a good choice.

If you are more interested in purchasing shower curtains that provide waterproofing properties as well as aesthetic value, there are options available for you. For example, some manufacturers sell shower curtains that have a PVC lining and are available in a wide range of colors and patterns. Other products are designed to work more like traditional vinyl curtains, but have a polyethylene core that allows water to bead up rather than soak in.

Both of these types of shower liners are quite durable and can also provide the look of a full bathroom vanity unit. The difference between the PVC models and the other types is the degree of water resistance provided. If you plan to have your bathroom in wet and humid areas of the house, then the PVC models will most likely be the best option, since they will be able to stand up to a lot more use and wear.
