Bath Shower Curtains

Bath shower curtains come in a wide variety of designs and we aim to provide information on some of the most practical and stylish options out there.

Buying a bath shower curtain is typically more complicated than buying a stall shower curtain as there are more possible scenarios to cover. For example is your bath against the wall? Or is it a free-standing Victorian claw foot bath? Do you want to purchase the whole package together including the enclosure mountings? This is even before we have talked about the materials available and the styles they come in.

If your bath is free standing like the contemporary tubs you often see today with the taps located in the middle then you are going to need an extra long shower curtain to fit.

A good example of this are surround style bath shower curtains. These are great for a free-standing bath tub because they allow you to just have a single curtain instead of messing around with two separate, smaller curtains, which no matter how hard you try will always leak water onto the bathroom floor. You should look for examples that are 180 inches long and these will travel all the way round a circular shower curtain track. The lengths are usually the standard seventy inches but you can get longer ones if the enclosure you have demands it. Look for examples that come with nickel grommets which are not going to rust. You can even get hookless bath shower curtains in this size although you will pay more for these. Because of the length of these curtains and the amount of bath tub edge that is exposed, you should always make sure you get a curtain with magnets or at least weights in the bottom hem or you will have water all over your bathroom floor.

If your bath is against a wall then you have lots of choice. A bath shower curtain will usually say in the product description whether it is meant for a stall specifically. If it does not specify, then it is likely to be fine to fit a standard bath tub.
