Choosing the right shower curtain is more important than most people think. A good shower curtain not only keeps water in the tub but also adds a clean and organized look to your bathroom. At Canadian Linen, we understand that Canadians want durable, practical, and stylish options for their homes. Our shower curtains combine functionality with ease of use, making them a reliable choice for any bathroom.
Material Matters
Types of Shower Curtain Materials
When buying a shower curtain, the material is the first thing to consider. Some common materials include:
- Polyester: Durable, quick-drying, and resistant to mold and mildew. Canadian Linen’s shower curtains are made from 100% polyester.
- Vinyl or PVC: Waterproof but less breathable and may have a chemical smell.
- Cotton: Stylish and soft, but requires a liner since it is not waterproof.
Benefits of Polyester Curtains
- Waterproof and odor-free, making it ideal for daily use.
- Quick-drying and easy to clean.
- Eco-friendly compared to synthetic alternatives.
- Smooth sliding along the rod with no hooks or rod removal required.
Polyester shower curtains, like those from Canadian Linen, provide both convenience and durability, fitting all standard showers and tubs, whether straight or curved.
Size and Fit
Measuring Your Shower Area
Before buying a curtain, measure the width and height of your shower or tub. Standard sizes work for most bathrooms, but if you have a larger or smaller shower, check the dimensions carefully.
Standard Sizes
- Width: Usually 70 to 72 inches.
- Height: Typically 70 to 72 inches.
- Curved or straight rods: Canadian Linen shower curtains fit both types and can be used alone or as a liner.
Having the correct size ensures that water stays inside the tub and the curtain hangs neatly without dragging on the floor.
Style and Design
Choosing the Right Look
While function is important, style matters too. The shower curtain should complement your bathroom décor. Consider:
- Colors: Light shades can make a small bathroom feel larger, while darker shades hide stains.
- Patterns: Simple designs suit modern bathrooms, while more decorative patterns can add character.
- Transparency: Clear or semi-transparent curtains let light through, while opaque curtains provide privacy.
Canadian Linen offers a range of designs that are versatile and match various bathroom styles, making them suitable for any home.
Matching Accessories
- Towels, mats, and other accessories should harmonize with the curtain’s design.
- Coordinated colors can create a cohesive look in the bathroom.
- Consider matching your curtain to other waterproof accessories for a practical and clean feel.

A practical shower curtain should be easy to install. Canadian Linen curtains slide smoothly along the rod without separate hooks or removing the rod, making setup quick and stress-free.
