Water supply

Most people recently prefer not to take a bath, but a shower, since this process takes less time and economically consumes water. However, in many apartments or houses, even at the stage of finishing work, large bathing cups are installed, not even assuming the parallel use of running water. Given this, the wizard recommends purchasing items such as a shower curtain, which not only closes the swimmer, but also prevents water from splashing.

Typical soft products

First we need to say that there are so many different models of similar structures. In addition, each specific curtain for the shower has its own specific characteristics. Therefore, first it is worth considering the simplest variants of such products.

The question of choosing a particular system is so popular that it is even discussed in well-known programs.

Design

When talking about similar products, they usually mean systems based on a kind of curtain, along which material moves on rings or other clips. It should be noted that the price of such products is the lowest and therefore it is in great demand.

To move the material along the guide, ordinary rings are used, since they are the most practical and are considered safe, since they are torn under heavy loads.

Just want to note that the material for the creation of such products use a variety of. The main thing is that it does not get wet and does not shine too much. Therefore, both impregnated fabric and plastic film are suitable.
Special attention should be paid to the fact that such fabric shower curtains or the like can have very different sizes and colors.. It depends only on the designers of the manufacturer or the specific wishes of the customer.

Tip! Considering all the features and design of such products, it should be noted that there is no clear distribution on the model. All distinctions depend only on a coloring and type of the used material.

Similar models can be used even around the perimeter of the entire bathroom, but it is necessary to choose the desired width of the material or use two curtains

Advantages and disadvantages

The first thing to mention is the low cost. These models are so cheap that, if necessary, they can be changed almost every year. The cost of quality products usually starts from 1000 rubles.

Some types of such curtains have a purely decorative purpose, because they are wetted quickly and require drying, which sometimes leads to the appearance of mold or mildew upon contact with water.

The simplicity and versatility of the design allows it to be used even as curtains for a summer shower. In this case, as a guide, you can even use a rope, giving it the most extraordinary forms.
These models of curtains can be refilled in the bath itself or let out. However, in the first position there are inconveniences, and in the second use case, water flows through the material onto the floor.

Experts believe soft curtains are unsafe, because there are a large number of injuries in the process of their use, although you can also say about other elements of the bathroom

With the right approach to the operation of such products there is practically no shortage. However, rigid stationary fixation systems have been developed, which often surpass these models in terms of comfort.

Tip! First of all, you need to make your choice, focusing on the size of the product and only then you need to select colors. Otherwise, you can buy a beautiful material that is not able to completely cover the required space.

It is better to buy a quality thing once than to experience discomfort every day.

Frame models and screens

First of all, it should be noted that shower curtains for the bathroom can be made of durable frames that are fixed around the perimeter and have special doors. Some masters attribute them to the discharges of screens, but this does not change their functionality and does not prevent manufacturers from using a different name. Therefore, most often on the package you can read the inscription that this model belongs to curtains.

The simplest frame model fully protects the room from the ingress of water droplets while bathing in the shower

Frame Models

Similar products are sold in sections that are installed around the perimeter of the bath. At the same time, it has a fixed door or entrance section. You can mount it yourself, but you need to choose a particular model very carefully.

Simple or universal products do not always guarantee 100% protection against water ingress, which is important to consider even before purchasing.

The fact is that each specific type of bathroom has its own characteristics, dimensions, contours and even methods of fixation. Given this, the manufacturers of these products produce different models, but under their own type of bowl. Therefore, acquiring such a shower curtain should immediately check its compatibility.

You can even choose such protection even for angular or shaped baths, especially if both products are manufactured by one company.

It is worth noting that there are universal models, which can often be seen under the brand name Ravak or Aquaform. Their cost is relatively small, although the quality is quite decent. However, the installation of such systems may require additional work on sealing joints or slots.

Tip! It is best to acquire such structures from the same manufacturer, who also manufactured the bath. This will solve a lot of problems associated with compatibility with the installation of both products.

Some models assume the use of a single section to enclose a certain section, which looks pretty good, but is not always practical.

Recommendations of specialists

Choosing frame models, be sure to make sure that they are accompanied by instructions for assembly and installation. The fact is that most products of this type are supplied unassembled, and some parts are very similar to each other, which often leads to breakage when trying to incorrectly fit.

Some people solved this question in a rather original way, installing both a bath and a shower cabin.

When purchasing fabric curtains, you should pay attention to models that have strong seats for rings. Usually they are reinforced with special clips or reinforced with additional material inserts.!
It is reasonable to use such systems only in cases where the joint of the bathroom and the wall is hermetically sealed. Otherwise, water will fall on the floor on the other side of the structure. This moment must be taken into account even at the installation stage. (See also the article Hermetic for showers: features.)

Filling the curtain inside or outside the case personally for everyone, but both of these provisions have their own rather serious shortcomings

Conclusion

After reading the video in this article, you can get more information about similar systems and their varieties. In this case, based on the text outlined above, it is necessary to conclude that this product has two main directions, completely different from each other. However, both of them have the same functions, although they have their drawbacks.
