Blind for the bathroom: do or buy?

Curtains for the bathroom are often used in urban apartments. These products are needed in order that the spray and foam do not fall on the floor.

Bath curtains and showers are available. Blinds for baths are small and fastened directly above the bathtub.

The shower product is made in human growth and is designed to protect the space of the bathroom from splashes and water jets.

Blind for the bathroom or shower also helps to solve the problem of using a bathroom with several people at once. Correctly selected product conceals behind him the one who washes.

Some use curtains for decorative purposes, for zoning space.

Blind for the bathroom can be bought or made at home.

If you decide to save money, you can do it yourself. This requires an opaque oilcloth, a braided kapron cord, dowels with hooks and an electric drill. In the store, where the accessories are sold, you need to buy two-piece rings. Such products resemble rivets on jeans, only they with holes inside.

The homemade device begins with drilling holes above the bathroom or in the place where the mixer is installed. In them plastic dowels are hammered into, into which metal hooks are screwed. Then, at one end of the nylon cord, a self-tightening knot is tied , which is attached to one hook. The loop at the other end is knit so that you can hardly reach the second hook in the wall. Now you need to cut the oilcloth along the length that you need, wrap its upper edge by two to three centimeters and rivet this space with rings. It remains to pass the cord into the rings and throw it onto the self-tightening loop on the second hook in the wall. This homemade curtain for the bathroom or shower can be even more cost-effective if you use clips on rings for ordinary curtains. But then the oilcloth will quickly tear sharp teeth on metal clothespins.

For the device of the veil, you can use ready-made sets, which are sold in the markets and in stores.

The factory bathroom curtain is supplied with the spacer bar. Inside such a device, consisting of several sections, there is a powerful spring. When you collect the construction, you will need to insert it between the two walls above the bathroom, under the ceiling. This operation requires strength and caution. In order not to break anything, first one end of the pipe is installed at the desired height, then the other side of the device is gradually brought to the required height with slight tapping. The completion of this operation is the fastening of the curtain itself. This is easily done with the help of special clamps, which are supplied in the kit.

In shops and markets, shower curtains are also sold. Such veils cling to aluminum arcs or square structures that are assembled from stainless pipes. Unlike bath accessories , the installation of shower curtains requires the drilling of walls.

Before you buy the product, make sure the strength of the structure. Aluminum pipes should be of such thickness that, if necessary, they could be slightly bent without breaking. Curtains choose from a material that will not be noticeable stains and dirt. Check the number and strength of the accessories in the kit.
