Installing shower curtains

To begin with, it can be plastic, polyethylene vinyl acetate or polyester - fabric curtains for the shower. It all depends on what you want exactly, and also on what type of shower you need to separate from prying eyes or in order to prevent the penetration of splashes into the room.

But, in any case, it will serve as a fence for a certain area in which a stripped man is located, therefore, if it is not in a separate room, but on the street, then such a screen cannot be transparent. Let's find out what the industry offers to us, try an independent installation, and also watch the video in this article.

Materials and Installation

Material overview

Note. Blinds do not have to be made of soft material, like those that cover the windows. It can also be a corner curtain for the shower, also called a shower stall or a fencing with a tray.

• The Bisk Aero model is made of the original polymeric material - polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA), which shows absolutely no signs of toxicity, as it is ecologically clean, besides its price is the lowest among all analogues. It should be noted that 100% polyethylene vinyl acetate has no odor, it does not pass water at all, is elastic, durable and at the same time pleasant to the touch. Images (pattern, drawing) in such cases are applied with special dyes that are not afraid of exposure to moisture and ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) (it is not recommended to wash polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVO)).

• The Nautic model presented by the Polish company TM BISK is made of 100% dense and durable polyester, which is treated with water-repellent impregnation in connection with the intended purpose of the product. Polyester in general and Nautic in particular, has no odor, it does not pass water at all, is elastic, durable and at the same time pleasant to the touch. Images (pattern, drawing) in such cases are applied with special dyes, which are not afraid of exposure to moisture and ultraviolet radiation (sunlight).

• The COMBI screen (made in Italy) is made as a shower enclosure, where 8 mm thick tempered glass and stainless steel mounting corner are used as the source material.. In the store, you can be offered a modification that will be installed as an angular shower curtain, and you can purchase a complete set with a picture for your personal order, which you can choose yourself. Such models have one serious advantage - the glass is very easy to clean using household chemicals (for mirrors and windows) using window glass, it is not afraid of household abrasive compositions (the instruction allows their use).
• Exactly the same blinds can be made of transparent or opaque plastic, and if tempered glass, despite all its strength, can be accidentally broken (especially if there is a factory defect there - it is too much), then this will not happen with plastic.. But the glass has a very dense structure, but the plastic shower curtain will darken over time - particles of dirt fall into the porous structure of the material, which then cannot be removed by any means, and active chemicals are absolutely contraindicated for it.

We equip country shower

Most often in the country need a shower curtain without a pallet, that is, somewhere in the suburban area a frame is installed or fixed to some structure, then the frame is covered or just hung on the upper bar with some soft water-repellent fabric.

Of the above materials, polyester and PEVO (polyethylene vinyl acetate) can be called the most suitable here - rings can be attached to them or mounted (mounted) in the edge of the web the eyelets or ordinary metal washers, gluing them on both sides and freeing the hole.

In addition, sometimes dense polyethylene is used in everyday life - it can be black or matte, although it is not enough for a long time, but such curtains are very cheap and can be changed every year.

For a soft curtain, you always need a cornice, otherwise it stops functioning - it will be impossible to move it away, but only to recline - it is much more convenient when the closing web can be removed by sliding it to the side - for this it is fixed at the top with loops, rings or grommets.

If the eaves are straight, then it is much simpler - as you yourself understand, it can be installed on almost any summer cabin under the top of the doorway, which, however, most often do and is the simplest, most convenient, and most importantly, reliable method of fastening.

Much more difficult, when you equip a dacha cabin from two walls, and you want to close the rest of the perimeter with a semi-oval curtain, here you will need an arched eaves and what you see on the top photo you will have to do yourself, besides, you will need to fix this pipe without suspension, which further complicates the situation.

The fact is that with your hands, without special devices, it is simply impossible to do this, even if you have a lot of physical strength.

So, if you want to have an oval curtain for a summer shower in your summer cottage, you will need a pipe bender - it can be used for both round and shaped pipes - in this case, the degree of bending is adjusted by the vertical rod when it is twisted and unwound.

But such an arc cannot be glued to the wall - vertical stands will be needed there - they can be welded to an equivalent profile, protected from loosening by bridges or kerchiefs located either above or below.

Note. Curtains can be fastened to a straight or curved cornice with the help of a curtain tape, drawstrings, eyelets, hooks, rings, loops and ties. All options are suitable for the shower, except for the scenes and the curtain tape - this is more a design technique suitable for a living room.

Conclusion

I would like to note that the curtain for the shower with their own hands is not only suspended, but also cut out, because almost any unenlightened dense material will do for this. Considering that water procedures on the street are taken in the hot season, then for this purpose it is not even necessary to have such a property as water resistance — it dries very quickly.
