Mexican Floral Shower Curtain
To install your Mexican Floral shower curtain, you can follow these steps:
- Measure the length of your shower curtain. If it’s new, the curtain’s length will be listed on the packaging. Otherwise, you’ll need to measure it yourself using a tape measure. The standard shower curtain size is 74 inches x 74 inches – a perfect square 1.
- Measure your spaceto ensure the curtain will hang properly. There should be 2 inches of space between the floor and the shower curtain. To effectively contain moisture, the curtain needs to hang at least 5 inches below the edge of the bathtub 1.
- Add approximately 4 inches onto the curtain’s length. This will give you a rough installation height for the curtain rod. You may need to adjust up or down slightly to meet your individual needs, but in general adding 4 inches onto the curtain length should give you a proper placement 1.
- Use a tape measure to measure and mark the installation height. Determine the spot on each shower wall where the rod should be suspended by using a tape measure. Mark the spot on each side by making a small dot with a sharpie. These dots are where the ends of the rod will be placed 1.
- Install the rod. There are two basic rod types – tension rods and mounted rods. Tension rods are made of two interlocking shafts. Find the point where the two shafts fit together and place one hand on either side of this point. Twist counterclockwise to lengthen the rod. A tension rod is not fixed permanently to the walls. It is held in place by a strong spring inside the rod, which applies enough pressure on the walls to hold it in place. Expand the rod until both ends are fixed in the marked location. Adjust the placement of the ends until they are exactly where you want them. Then expand the rod a little more until the tension creates a stable hold on both sides of the shower. In general, tension rods can be adjusted to fit the width of most spaces without requiring any measurement beforehand. If you do want to measure beforehand, the rod’s final length should be approximately 1 inch longer than the space it will occupy to maintain a snug fit 1.
- Hang the curtain. Once the rod is installed, you can hang the curtain on the rod using the curtain rings. Ensure your curtain is facing the right way around, thread the rings through the holes in the curtain, and adjust the length by twisting and sliding the rods so the curtain is aligned with the edges of the tray 2.
I hope this helps!
