Frequently Asked Questions
What decides whether a curtain works?
Whether the hem hangs inside the tray.
Or inside the bath rim.
Water runs down the inner face.
To wherever the bottom edge is.
Outside the rim, it goes on the floor.
Is that most leak complaints?
Most of them, yes.
And no curtain quality fixes it.
Material, weight and price are irrelevant.
If the hem is over the wrong side.
Check where it hangs before anything else.
So the rod position is the specification?
Effectively, because it sets the hem.
Height and horizontal position both.
A rod set too far out.
Puts the curtain outside the rim.
However long the curtain is.
What pulls the curtain inward?
Warm air rises inside the enclosure.
Cooler air pushes in underneath.
Which draws the curtain towards the user.
It is airflow, not a draught.
And it happens with every shower.
What keeps the hem down?
A weighted hem, or magnets.
Weights resist the inward pull.
Magnets hold it to a steel bath.
A curtain clinging to somebody.
Has already left the tray.
Should the curtain and liner be separate?
Usually, because they do different jobs.
A liner is waterproof and replaceable.
A decorative curtain may be neither.
One fabric doing both.
Is why curtains get thrown away.
Why does mould appear on the hem?
Because that is where water sits.
It is the last part to dry.
Draw the curtain closed after use.
Rather than bunching it wet.
And wash it rather than replacing it.
