What is a Shower Curtain? How do they work?
Generally you will find two types of shower curtains. The most common shower curtains are meant to encase the bath and prevent water from damaging the surrounding area.
Often there can be a second shower curtain which is designed only to be part of the bathroom aesthetic, it may be made of a lighter material and have bright colors, design, varying fabrics and thematic ideas.
Shower curtains are generally hung from a rod across the bath area much like you would find curtains on a rod across a window.
The shower curtain rod is generally made of a flexible material, likely aluminum and will come in all different shapes and sizes, some rods are adjustable in length.
The shower curtain is mostly hung on the rod in two different ways. The first and most common being through the use of curtain rings which are attached to the curtain and strung across the curtain rod. The second mode of fastening is accomplished by stringing a sleeve sewn within the curtain through the rod itself, much like one would string a tent pole through a tent sleeve. Finding a shower curtain that is made of durable material and the proper size is very important. Even if a small amount of water begins to finds its way out of the bath area and onto the floor the damage can be considerable given enough time and repetition. Water damage can run costs up to and over ten thousand dollars and can lead to an infestation of mould; this may result in the entire removal of your bathing area.
