Briefly about curtains: types, models, options
Bath curtains have become more than just a functional detail that helps keep walls and ceilings clean. There are few options for attaching curtains: wall or ceiling mounting. Both options are based on installing a rod.
Ceiling installation can also be done in the form of a cornice with chains hanging from above, to which the curtains are attached. Curtains are put on rods, spacers, cornices using rings, strips of fabric, hooks, magnetic latches.
In this case, the rings are located above the upper edge of the curtain or are sewn into the material itself, forming eyelets.
When a pocket-type design is used, any rod can be installed, since it will not be visible at all. If the selected material is hard (plastic, glass, etc.), such structures are mounted using special guides or hung like doors. As for the selected color scheme, curtains can be plain or contain a pattern, design, or picture.
Types of shower curtains
A corner shower curtain is a modification of a regular, classic curtain used for water procedures and having an L-shape (repeats the outlines of a bathtub corner or shower corner). When in working condition, such a device goes around the font, covering it from two or three sides at once.
Curtains for corner baths: description, shapes, sizes, materials
Curtains for a corner bath, attached to a cornice, string or rod-holder, can be of a simple cut (in the form of a rectangular piece of fabric made of a special water-repellent material) or have a more complex designer shape (in the form of gathers, folds, with an original uneven shape of the edge). As for the material of the curtain for a corner bathroom, it can be fabric, polyvinyl chloride, glass, plastic.
Curtains made of cotton or other fabric are great to use, they can diversify the atmosphere in the hygiene room with cheerful images and prints applied to them, but they are not suitable for very humid rooms, since the fabric can take a long time to dry after water procedures. In this case, you should opt for textile curtains impregnated with a water-repellent solution.
A corner curtain for a bathroom made of polyethylene, polyester is considered the most inexpensive, one might say budget option. Polyvinyl chloride or simply vinyl curtains for corner bathtubs are not only convenient for closing the space of the font during water procedures, they will also serve for a long time, without losing their shape and color.
Additional information! As a mid-priced option, you can choose curtains made from a mixture of natural and artificial fabrics (for example, polyester mixed with cotton, linen).
Corner or L-shaped curtains: for which baths are they suitable, description, type of fastening, photo
One of the most important selection criteria for the design of an L-shaped curtain is the selection of the material of the rod - the base for the curtain. For a simple, inexpensively furnished hygiene room, you can buy a plastic (plastic) holder.
However, the plastic rod has one significant drawback - short life and relative fragility. This means that the structure can crack or break due to excessive force. But aluminum rods are a fairly durable mounting option, but not very aesthetically pleasing in appearance. It is better to choose stainless chrome material.
Important! The size and shape of the curtain rod holder should match the outline of the font, and the length of the curtains should be sufficient, but not excessive.
Having chosen a rod, one of the main elements in the design of curtains, it is worth paying attention to the curtain itself and its fasteners. In some cases, it will be advisable to choose rings or hooks that are made of the same material as the L-shaped rod holder, but this is not necessary.
Glass curtain for corner bath: description, models, design, photo
A corner shower curtain made of special glass is a practical, stylish and original option for protection from splashes and separating the font area. The main thing when choosing and installing a glass enclosing structure is to observe the dimensions: sliding or opening glass panels must exactly repeat the shape of the font and correspond in size to the height of the room ceilings.
Additional information! Glass curtains should cover the space from the edge of the font to the ceiling of the room. However, they can be a little shorter - the final design is always at the discretion of the owner.
Glass shower curtains in the L-shape can be completely transparent or contain matte patterns. Their upper and side edges are made in various modifications: straight, semicircular.
According to the method of installation and operation, the following types of glass curtains are distinguished:
- stationary (cover only part of the space);
- swing;
- sliding;
- folding (during use, they fold into a vertical accordion thanks to a slight movement).
Important! A corner glass shower curtain must be safe to use, so you should choose only products from well-known manufacturers made of tempered glass.
Shower curtains: description, features, sizes, differences from bath curtains
Corner shower curtains essentially perform the same functions as curtains for washing in a font. The difference is the presence of a much larger number of soap and water splashes that fall on the material of such curtains. If we are talking about curtains for a shower that has a tray and is not combined with a font intended for water-hygienic procedures, another difference is the length of the curtains.
Corner shower curtains should cover the entire area that is exposed to water. At the same time, their lower edge should be in the area of the shower tray or reach the floor itself if a drain is used to drain water and a tray is not used.
The length of the product in this case will directly depend on the height of the ceilings in the room. The width of the curtain for taking a shower is usually smaller than for a font, since in the first case the person's position during water procedures is vertical (standing), and in the second - horizontal.
The best examples of using shower curtains: models, design, photos
Examples of the most successful use of curtains should be given (see photo). First of all, this is a completely covered non-standard L-shaped curtain font, and the curtain is matched to the tone of the walls of the room. If the bathroom is too small, it is recommended to use transparent glass curtains for the font.
When using them, it is important to follow the rule: if there is enough space, buy swing glass curtains, as they have special fasteners and handles for opening.
Bathtub curtains help create a cozy, original atmosphere. These accessories also make certain adjustments to the overall style of the room, while protecting the room from splashes.
Manufacturers offer cotton, blended, polyester, vinyl and glass curtains. The variety of shapes and colors is amazing.
