What are Shower Stall Curtains Made Of?<\/h2>\n

Shower stall curtains are made from different materials which include PEVA, vinyl, cotton, polyester, and hemp. The materials are usually moisture and water-resistant. Some materials are fast-drying and contain no chemicals in their production.<\/p>\n

PEVA<\/h3>\n

PEVA is PVC-free and non-vinyl. It is a good substitute for a waterproof and eco-friendly shower stall curtain. PEVA<\/a> is lightweight and non-toxic. The most popular for residential use is the 10-gauze commercial grade.<\/p>\n

PVC \/Vinyl<\/h3>\n

This material prevents water from escaping a shower enclosure. PVC is also referred to as shower liners since the material is non-porous and water is repelled. This type of material is made of polyvinyl chloride and is considered the most affordable of all shower curtains. If you are looking for a shower curtain for your stall shower that is made of vinyl, we recommend this product.<\/a> It comes with large magnets at the bottom to help keep the liner in place.<\/p>\n\n\n

Hemp<\/h3>\n

This is a new material that is used for making shower curtains. Hemp is always mistaken for cotton. While hemp is fast-drying and also mildew-resistant, the downside is that it is more expensive as compared to cotton.<\/p>\n

Cotton<\/h3>\n

Natural cotton is often used for making outer shower curtains. It is an ideal material because it dries quickly and does not need more care and maintenance as compared to other fabrics. We recommend this shower curtain that is made from 100% cotton<\/a>. It is durable and can be machine washed.<\/p>\n

Polyester<\/h3>\n

This material is fast drying and can be able to hold its shape better as compared to cotton. Polyester curtains are usually used in hotels. While polyester is not water-resistant, it is a good material for shower stalls.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Cut a Regular Shower Curtain into a Stall Curtain<\/h2>\n

When cutting a regular shower curtain to make sure that it fits the stall shower, you need to carefully measure the length and width of the stall. Mark the places where you need to cut. You can even stitch the ends of the curtain after cutting to give it a clean look.<\/p>\n

Measure<\/h3>\n

The first thing that you need to do is to measure the shower curtain and the opening of the shower stall to find out the length and width of the curtain that you need to cut. You can hang the curtain from the stall to determine where you will need to cut.<\/p>\n

Mark<\/h3>\n

The next step is to mark the inside of the curtain with a marker. Make sure to leave an extra inch to turn under for a hem on the sides and bottom of the curtain. If you are not adding extra fabric, you can hem both of the edges that you have cut.<\/p>\n\n\n

Fold<\/h3>\n

Lastly, hem the sides of the curtain where you have cut. Trim slightly as you fold it under so that the hem will not bulge. Make sure to double-check the measurements. Hang the customized shower curtain in the stall.<\/p>\n
