We Know: How to Buy a Shower Curtain

About Shower Curtains

In addition to being functional, a shower curtain can be stylish. The large variety of styles and materials for shower curtains offers many choices for decorating a bathroom.

Optional Features for Shower Curtains:

A shower curtain may have one or more of the following features:

  • Easy to clean. Shower curtains can get moldy or stained. Many curtains are designed to be simply wiped down with a clean cloth.
  • Color. The color of the shower hooks can affect the look of the curtain. Some shower curtains come with hooks but you can also buy them separately and choose a complimentary color that's similar to or contrasts with the curtain design or color.
  • Reinforced hook grommets. Grommets that aren't reinforced are more susceptible to tearing.
  • Mold resistant. For those suffering from allergies, or who desire to avoid moldy shower curtains, consider investing in a mold resistant curtain.
  • Size. The standard size for a shower curtain is 6' x 6' or 72" x 72". If your shower is not the standard size, you may have to purchase two curtains, or trim a standard sized curtain.
  • One or two-piece curtains. One-piece curtains are usually waterproof vinyl or polyester. Two-piece curtains have a waterproof liner and an outer curtain that is made of cotton or other material and is plain or decorated.
