Double Swag Shower Curtain

When you’re taking a shower, you’re in a place of peace washing away all your troubles and stress from the day. While most showers come equipped with a basic plastic pull curtain, it might benefit you to add a little bit of swag to your shower, with a double swag curtain shower. They’re not too difficult to install and they’re not overly expensive.

What’s A Double Swag Curtain Shower?

Not everyone has heard of these beautiful curtains and if this is the first time you’re hearing of them, you’re in for a treat. Have you ever seen those ruffled curtains that flow with elegance and sit on top of a window? They share a similar look but these are for the shower.

• Generally, they have a lot of ruffles and come with two different sections which are split right down the middle like window curtains
• Usually, cover two panels for the larger showers and can extend their length to fit most modern showers
• They resemble lengthy drapes that cover windows and operate the same way as well

What to consider before buying double swag shower curtains?

• The first and probably the most important thing to consider is the inside curtain liner. This liner needs to be extra strong so that water doesn’t get to the fabric. The outside fabrics often used in swag curtains handle some water but if you have a leaky inside liner, this is going to become problematic and over time, the ruffles of your curtain will start to flatten out.
• The rings that will be holding the curtains up should be made with preferably a metallic material instead of plastic like cheap linen curtains. Swag curtain showers weigh a lot more, so that’s a lot more weight being put on the pole that holds the curtains up, hence most of these curtains come with screws to drill the supporting beam into the wall.
• Taking correct measurements before you purchase is vital to making sure the curtains look good once they’re installed. Always leave yourself a little wiggle room with the overall size from wall to wall. Also, make sure you have the appropriate floor to ceiling height available to install these curtains. When they’re fully installed, the bottom should be 3 or more inches off of the ground.
• If you have pets or children, you should be warned in advance that these types of curtains are harder to clean and dirt or stains will leave a longer lasting impression. Most of them, however, are machine washable.
