How To Measure Shower Curtain

A shower curtain is a piece of fabric that hangs from a rod or track in the shower or bathtub to keep water from splashing out. Shower curtains can be made of a variety of materials, including vinyl, plastic, and fabric. They come in a range of sizes, so it's important to measure your shower or bathtub before you buy a new one. Here's how to do it:

1. Measure the width of your shower or bathtub.

To measure the width, use a tape measure or measuring stick to measure from the left side of the shower or bathtub to the right side. Make sure to measure at the top of the shower or bathtub, where the curtain rod or track will be installed.

2. Measure the height of your shower or bathtub.

To measure the height, use a tape measure or measuring stick to measure from the top of the shower or bathtub to the bottom. Make sure to measure from the place where the curtain rod or track will be installed to the bottom of the shower or bathtub.

3. Add 6 inches to the width and height measurements.

This will give you the minimum size that you need for your shower curtain. The extra 6 inches will allow for some overlap and will help to keep water from splashing out.

4. Choose a shower curtain that is the correct size.

Once you have your measurements, you can start shopping for a shower curtain. Be sure to choose a style and color that you like, and make sure that it is the correct size for your shower or bathtub.

Here are some additional tips for measuring shower curtains:

• If you have a curved shower or bathtub, you will need to measure the length of the curve. To do this, use a measuring tape or string to follow the curve of the shower or bathtub.

• If you have a shower or bathtub with a sloped ceiling, you will need to measure the height of the ceiling at both the highest and lowest points. Then, take the average of the two measurements to get the height of the shower or bathtub.

• If you are not sure what size shower curtain to get, it is always better to go with a larger size. You can always cut the curtain to fit, but you cannot make it larger if it is too small.
