To determine the correct size shower curtain, you need to measure your shower area. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Measure the width of your shower from wall to wall. Add 12 inches to this measurement to ensure that the curtain can reach both sides of the wall and provide enough fabric to create folds to drape. This will give you the width of the shower curtain you need.

2. Measure the distance from the curtain rod to the floor. You don’t want your shower curtain hitting the floor, so subtract 8-10 inches from the rod to floor measurement. This takes into account the rings used to hang the panel. This will give you the length of the shower curtain you need. The standard length for most shower curtains is 72 inches, while 84 inches is the standard length for longer tubs and showers.

3. Choose a liner that is the same size or an inch or two smaller than your curtain. Always protect your curtain with a liner. To hang the panel, use roller rings to ensure the curtain moves easily on the rod. The panel has a button-hole construction at the top to attach rings.

Here are some common shower curtain sizes:

• 60 inch tub: 70 x 70 inches, 70 x 72 inches, or 72 x 72 inches
• Shower stalls and walk-in showers: 54 x 72 inches or 54 x 78 inches
• Clawfoot tub: approximately 180 inches wide and 72 inches tall
• Greater than 60-inch tub or need more coverage: 78 inches long and 72 inches wide

Its important to note that a few extra inches in width or height won’t be the end of the world, but you don’t want your shower curtain to drag too low on the floor.
