Why do we need curtains for the bathroom
Having taken a shower or a bath, we find out that there are necessarily pools of water on the floor and we already, washed and clean, will have to take up a rag and wipe all this water element. Agree, not very pleasant, but we can not leave puddles either, it will increase the humidity in the room and give impetus to the formation of fungi. The solution is to hang the blinds over the bathroom.
Without this object in the bathroom, of course, you can do, but it will be much more comfortable and the bathroom will create a sense of sauna. Curtains in the bathroom carry a double load - they protect the room from splashes and streaks and serve as a decorative decoration of the room, standing on the protection of the intimate process of ablution.
Choosing curtains in the bathroom
All curtains can be divided into two categories, which in turn are divided according to the material. The first category - soft curtains, which are vinyl, fabric and polyethylene, they are attached to a special bar attached to the walls. The second category - rigid curtains, made of plastic and tempered glass. The characteristics of these types of blinds are all in order. First of all, we'll talk about soft curtains:
- Polyethylene curtains in the bathroom - this is the most affordable option, the demand for them is quite large. It's all about their low price, the big choice of colors and the ease of use. Disadvantages are also there - this is a quick surface contamination, there are stains. And they can not be washed, and washing is inconvenient. Mold loves them very much. Such oilcloth curtains are not able to reliably protect the room from water - if you lower them from the outside of the bath, there can be no protection and speech, it will be a simple screen from prying eyes. And if the oilcloth during bathing is placed in the bathroom, then protection will be, but the oilcloth itself will stop you.
- Vinyl curtains, the raw material for which is polyvinyl chloride. They will be more expensive than previous ones, which is reflected in their quality. PVC curtains are more durable, easy to clean, repel dirt and do not create conditions for the spread of mold. Vinyl perfectly transfers washing in a machine at a temperature of 40 ° C with a mode without pressing. Will serve you such curtains about 3 years. And take note - ironing them is impossible.
- Curtains textile. Will the cloth save water?- you ask. Of course, textile curtains will perfectly cope with this task if they are impregnated with hydrophobic agents. This pleasure looks very aesthetic and beautiful, but at a price it will be more expensive. On sale you can find a large assortment of colors, allowing you to choose what is suitable for our interior. Service life - up to 12 years.
In the queue of rigid curtains:
- Plastic came to us together with shower cabins. They are incredibly comfortable and give you complete freedom of design fantasy. They can be made absolutely of any shape due to the plasticity and compliance of the material. Large selection of colors and textures, light weight. Among the shortcomings can be called: turbidity with time, can not be cleaned with abrasives, plastic fragility, the formation of divorces, which can be avoided, if each time to wipe the screen dry.
- Glass curtains in the bathroom - a classic and prestigious option. They are durable, very effects. Glass does not grow dull, does not age, does not form a divorce and is easy to clean. Tempered glass is very durable and does not crack. However, the material is quite heavy, but it can break if dropped, without the formation of sharp fragments, which is very important for safety.
Rigid curtains can be very different in design - sliding, multi-leaved, static, turning around their axis. Therefore, this element of the interior can be chosen for every taste based on personal preferences.
