Shower curtains may feel like a product that is often neglected or an afterthought when updating a bathroom. Hospitality professionals may devote more time and budget to upgrading the most essential bathroom features like a sink, bathtub, toilet, shower, etc. However, shower curtains can add uniqueness and style to any bathroom and provide a better experience for guests. This blog will explain the different types of shower curtains and what makes each style unique.

Curtains vs. Liners

Shower curtains hang on the outside of the tub/shower with the primary purpose of adding privacy for whoever is using the shower. They are decorative and offered in various colors and patterns. The purpose of shower liners is to prevent water from flowing out of the shower by being placed on the inside of the shower. Most shower curtains, unless they are made of waterproof material, do not prevent the escape of water from a shower, so it is important to have a liner to compliment the curtain. Some curtains and liners have weights or magnets at the bottom to help hold them down and keep the water in. Liners are generally less expensive than shower curtains. While it is ideal to have both a shower curtain and liner in the bathroom, the liner is essential to keeping the water in the shower. The Pre-Hooked Duet Shower Curtain w/Snap-in Liner combines the shower curtain and the liner for added convenience.

Vinyl
