Information Sheet on Fitting a Shower Curtain


We assume you need the frame hanging as well and that you have bought it, along with the shower curtain, already. You can’t expect a builder to make delicate aesthetic decisions like that.

Any ceiling fixing not secured into a joist or noggin will pull out, and your curtain will become a horrible slippery bath mat!

    Open or Close

    If a tile isn't bedded correctly in the first place, the pressure of drilling into it can make it crack. Cue tile replacement. Do you have one of the same? Do you think this was the builder's fault (it wasn't)…He'll wish he'd stayed at home that day.
