Blinds for wet room

Annie1960

Does anyone have any recommendations for what type of blind (or curtain) to use on the window of a wet room?

Thanks, I'll take a look.


Do you have these yourself?

Do I get these to fit inside the recess of the window, or should they be flush against the wall?

Most of these suppliers seem to be mail order, and I've no idea what the quality is like.

Has anyone already got these, and if so which suppliers provide good quality blinds?

I've used blinds2go before, no complaints so far. I've not got any waterproof blinds however, but the site should explain everything.

+1 for rec on blinds2go- they made up our roller blinds for kitchen (and we used curtains2go too). No idea about waterproof ones tho.

Fitting to recess will be up to the wall rather than the frame

Thanks Penguin and arbrighton.

I've had a look on the site, and it explains everything very well. I've found the pvc blinds that won't rust if they get wet, and have ordered some samples.

I'm still not sure whether it's best in a wet room to have the blind made to fit inside the recess (in which case water may get onto the tiled windowsill), or whether it's better to get a bigger blind that will cover both the window and sill.

What do other people do in their wetrooms/bathrooms?

My mum cut down a shower curtain to fit and used a spring-loaded curtain pole. It was cheap, lasted well and matched the actual shower curtain. That was a fairly small window and she didn't want/need to open the curtain... it might not work for everybody.

I wouldn't get a rollerblind. If you roll it up while it's still damp it will get mouldy very quickly. (Not saying that you necessarily will, but a guest/partner/child might forget).

I'd probably frost the glass in the bathroom and have no curtain at all.

But if you're set on having some sort of curtain, I'd go for a plastic slat blind as at least then the air can dry on each of the slats.
