Bath screens vs. shower curtains

More people are choosing the contemporary bath screen over the traditional shower curtain.

For years, we’ve been used to seeing shower screens in our shower, not to mention hotels and guesthouses. Bathrooms are becoming more up-to-date, however, with an increasing interest in how the room looks as well as how practical it is. This has meant a re-assessment of the shower curtain and whether it really is the best way to keep shower spray inside the bath.

Bath screens and shower curtains

As anyone who has regularly used a shower curtain will know, they have a shelf-life after which they can become mouldy or damaged. Tears at the top means that the shower curtain doesn’t hang properly from the rings and damage further down means that the water has a way out. People who forget to put the shower curtain inside the bath end up getting the floor soaking wet – an accident just waiting to happen. Whilst shower curtains come in a wide range of funky and traditional designs, they obscure the bath, giving the impression of less space in the bathroom.

Bath screens, on the other hand are far more sleek and contemporary. With a specially-designed rubber seal at the bottom, bath screens make an effective seal between the bottom of the screen and the top of the bath, preventing water from splashing onto the bathroom. They are far easier to clean than the shower curtain and certain styles can fold back against the wall, leaving plenty of light and space in the bathroom. More and more people are switching from shower curtains to bath screens as they recognise how much more stylish they are and how they improve the look of the bathroom.

Installing bath screens

You don’t have to go to the expense of a new bath in order to get a stylish bath screen. Just look for a screen that works with the size and shape of bath that you have. Bath screens are fairly straightforward to install and come in a range of styles so that you can choose the one that fits your bathroom best. No more dirty or torn shower curtains that keep needing to be replaced – instead, opt for the clean lines of a bath screen and transform your bathroom with a single purchase.
