Using Cheap Shower Curtains and Save


5 November 2018


We saw a lot of pretty shower curtains in Daiso going for SGD$2/=.  They are of size 180x180 completed with hooks as shown attached;  good enough to cover a long bath in the bath room.   The good ones of similar size would cost several times more,  around SGD$16/=.


What’s  the “Catch”?

The difference between them is the materials used.  The expensive ones are thicker and they usually have reinforcement strips or metal rings for the hooks whereas the $2/= type has only plastic reinforcement rings around the hook;  some just make a hole without any reinforcement.

Very often,  the cheaper one will get torn easily around the hook.  One would have to repair it or replace the curtain frequently.
 

What is the Best?

Buy the cheap shower curtain and make the reinforcement strip for the hook so that it can be glued on to the curtain.   The plastic reinforcement strip can be cut from clear plastic sheet  that is often used for table top.  Thicker plastic sheet  of around 300-500 micron (0.3 to 0.5 mm) is preferred to withstand the wear and tear.

 Materials Required

1.   Plastic reinforcement Strip of about 50 mm width with length to match the curtain
2.   UHU glue to glue the strip onto the curtain
3.   Scissor or hole puncher to make the holes for the hooks

 


Completed Shower Curtain

As shown.  The curtain should last until it is brittle and torn or the dirty curtain is replaced.
