Fabric and PEVA shower curtains and liner sets.
Shower curtain material determines mold resistance, cleaning ease and water control. A PEVA shower curtain liner repels water completely and resists mildew better than a polyester liner, but is stiffer and less transparent. A fabric curtain paired with a separate waterproof liner gives more design options. Curtain width and ring spacing affect how well the curtain seals against the tub. This section covers shower curtains by material, size, liner type and cleaning ease.

A waffle shower curtain uses a woven grid fabric that provides visible texture on the curtain surface. The waffle weave construction is heavier than standard polyester fabric curtains, resists billowing and provides a hotel-like spa aesthetic without a decorative print.
