Bathrooms in most houses do not have a large area, so the owners have to use all sorts of tricks to maximally functionally use the room. So, many refuse the bathroom in favor of the shower box. But so the hosts are deprived of the opportunity to soak in the bathroom, relaxing after a long day. How to act in a similar situation? Inventive manufacturers found a way out and suggested creating a hybrid bathroom and shower. This can be done with the help of sliding curtains for the bathroom. They protect the floor and walls from splashes emanating from the spray gun and do not spoil the appearance of the bathroom.
Design of sliding curtains
In such curtains the same system is used as in the closets . The movable sheet easily and silently moves along the rollers installed inside the guide rail. The quality of the frame depends on how long the shutter will last, so when buying you should carefully examine the rollers and check whether there is any interference when opening / closing the door.
The design of such doors can include up to seven shutters, but models with a large number of leaflets are extremely rare. Increasing the number of sections increases the strength of the carcass, but at the same time reduces the amount of free space inside.
The lineup
Most often for the production of shower curtains, glass of different types is used, namely:
- toned;
- matte;
- classical transparent;
- patterned.
Note that on the transparent surface you will see traces of drips and drops of water, so you have to wipe it with a rag after each shower. On frosted and patterned glasses, streaks are not visible, so they are considered more practical.
Mounting Features
Sliding plastic curtains for the bathroom are mounted directly on the bath. They have a full frame, made of plastic or aluminum, but there are models where the frame is attached only to the moving part.
Installation of blinds is carried out strictly according to the instructions and in a certain order. As a rule, you need to consistently perform the following actions:
- organize measurements;
- install a frame (vertical posts are attached to the walls)
- fasten the guides (the lower guide is mounted to the side of the bathroom, and the top one - at a distance of 130-140 cm from the bottom);
- to install glass curtains.
After assembling all the elements, it is necessary to pour the joints of the structure with silicone sealant, which will not allow moisture to penetrate inside.
