Hi all, we have been doing the bathroom and we have a small dilema. We
are trying to go for a more neater cleaner look and have a new electric
shower but are unsure over wether to have a pole and curtain or a
screen. If we have a screen it would have to be folding so that my
wife can lean over the bath to do her hair with the mixer shower. It
couldn't be a solid screen because of the position of the door, if
someone opened the door when the screen was back it would bang into it.
But our experience with curtains is they do get dirty quickly.
any ideas?

I installed a new bathroom some seven years ago and made the decision to fit
a 'four-fold' folding screen. It works very efficiently, and folds neatly
back against the wall when not in use. Shower curtains are a pain in the
neck - the down-draft created by the shower spray causes the curtains to
suck in and stick to your body - and they hold the damp after the shower.
They become mildewed after a while and just look awful. Go for a screen!

Folding screens have a downside as well. We get leaks under the
screen and water pours onto the floor. I put this down to the fact
that the base of the screen is straight and the bath is slightely
curved.

Mark.
