A fabric shower curtain liner comes in different sizes, shapes, colors and materials. So whatever and however your bathroom looks like, you can surely find something that will fit exactly. On the outer cover of the shower curtain, both the width and length are shown. Have a fair estimate of the distance between the curtain rod down to the floor and the gap from wall to wall.
The color comes in different shades; it is not difficult to find the right tinge that perfectly blends with the color of your bathroom and give off your preferred particular mood. Since you will have to change your fabric shower curtain liner as it wears off, you can easily alter the atmosphere of your bathroom.
A number of shower curtains need two flexible curtain rods as the first one will be for the decorative fabric while the other one is for the liner. Place the liner rod either at the rear of the decorative rod or beneath it depending on your preferred spot and design of the curtain ensemble.
If you are more concerned about the cost than the quality, then go for a plastic shower curtain liner. The downside however is that it gives off an odorous scent right after installation and does not wane down for a week. If any family member has a respiratory ailment especially asthma, never consider buying one since it may trigger asthmatic attacks. Another hitch you have to bear with is the traces of water splash residues that stick to it, over time it gets irritatingly nasty.
Due to the constant wet condition of your fabric shower curtain liner, mold develops as this is their favorite breeding ground. It may not be visible through the naked eye, but as time goes by, the molds thicken and start to look grimy and feel slimy when touched. Spare yourself with this situation by buying a mold-resistant shower curtain.
If you are someone who values quality and is ready to pay a higher cost, then you need to find a fabric shower curtain liner made by Croscill. A set will normally cost you $14-$16, which is twice the price of a regular vinyl or cotton curtain liner. The steep price will be more than compensated for by its longevity, which can last for years. It is made up of a mildew resistant fabric liner thus it can be easily cleaned with a washing machine.
Maytex is a variation of Croscill but this fabric shower curtain liner comes in a thinner form and easily sticks to the skin. It would usually only last a few months since it cannot withstand the wear and tear of constant pull and push. Depending on what it is made up of (cotton, plastic, vinyl), it usually costs $8 - $20 per set.
When deciding on which kind or brand of shower curtain liner to choose, it would be best that you go for a shower curtain that will last longer.
The Stall Shower Curtain website has a great selection of liners.
