Modern choice - an alternative to polyethylene screens

Until recently, in many apartments, going into the bathroom, you could find colorful polyethylene curtains. And not always they looked beautiful. It's not about the design of curtains, but the hygienic component. Having bought a screen once, a post-Soviet consumer removes it only when it breaks and does not pay attention to mold raids. And in vain!

The bathroom is a room with a high moisture content. Therefore, it is considered a favorable environment for the development of aspergillus. This is the genus of aerobic molds that are inhaled by humans and cause damage to the lungs and bronchi. And washing at 40 degrees of polyethylene screens does not destroy these parasites. That's so dangerous for health if improper hygiene measures can become curtains for the bathroom. Glass sliding structures - this is the modern answer to polyethylene curtains.

The Excellence of Safe Screens

If fabric, polyethylene, PVC curtains quickly deteriorate due to the appearance of mold on them, which can not be removed due to the limited performance properties of the listed materials, the glass screens are designed for a long period of use. They are resistant to shock, because they are made of tempered glass.

Simplicity of care is the second advantage of modern shielding screens. Glass can be treated with sanitary facilities that can kill and prevent mold fungi. Sliding glass curtains , photo of which are presented below, is not the only constructive option. Manufacturers also offer a swing, corner, folding system and fixed panels, which allows you to choose a design for each individual needs.

Water resistance is the basic requirement advanced to the protective sections for the bath. Glass screens are tightly fixed, so they do not allow splashes of water to enter the rest of the room. While unfixed PVC curtains always move away from the bath, resulting in puddles on the floor after water procedures are taken. Ease of installation and light transmission capacity are two more advantages of glass blinds.

A little about the shortcomings

Acquisition and installation of modern waterproof transparent systems is not cheap, if you compare them with the only competitors - traditional curtains. But such a shortcoming will turn into a lot of advantages for the user. After all, polyethylene products require a change once a month, and for a year the amount runs up to 4-5 thousand rubles. While budget glass curtains for the bathroom sliding are from 6 thousand rubles.

With proper care, there are no more flaws in such structures. However, if you do not wipe the surface of the screen in time, it accumulates calcareous deposits, which are then removed only with the application of effort and special means.
