If your bathroom has a window, you likely are trying to decide what curtain or blind will work best for your practical and aesthetic needs. In this blog post, the curtain, shade, and blind installation experts here at Los Angeles Shades and Blinds will help describe the best features you can look for in curtains and/or blinds to be used in a bathroom setting.
Protection Against Mildew
Bathrooms are probably the most likely room in your house or apartment that wil get mildew. Mildew shows up on tiles or bathroom walls, and often on the covering of your bathroom window. You should get mildew resistant bathroom curtains because of this risk. There’s many mildew resistant bathroom curtains and blinds that are made of material with anti microbial features that actually PREVENT mildew and mold from growing to begin with. This can be a godsend in protecting your health and also avoiding that nasty mildew smell.
Heat Resistance
Since bathrooms often get warm after a hot shower or bath is taken, you want to ensure that you have shades and curtains that can resist that heat. We recommend faux wood blinds, as they provide a relaxing and classy aesthetic balance while also staying heat resistant – as well as super easy to clean, which is perfect for bathroom applications in which grime might normally accumulate.
Aesthetic Appeal and Privacy
Ideally for your bathroom, you will want a curtain or blind that provides a large amount of privacy. Since bathrooms are used for changing and bathing, you want to make sure you don’t choose a set of blinds or curtains that only offer a small amount of privacy. You want you blinds and/or curtains to prevent anybody from seeing inside the bathroom at night when the lights are on. However, you don’t really need blackout curtains – again, faux wood blinds are a good choice that offers a non-transparent and non-opaque barrier that prevents people from seeing inside your bathroom while still showing natural light.
