Rings for curtains in the bathroom: types and features of application

The bathroom is a small, but very important place in the house, so its entire interior must be thought out to the smallest detail. In this article, we'll talk about such a little noticed, but irreplaceable detail in the bathroom, like curtain rings.

The rings, along with hooks, loops, eyelets and other elements, serve to secure the bath screen. The modern market offers us a wide selection of these accessories for curtains. Among the huge assortment, it is easy to get confused and choose an option that does not quite suit you. The curtain rings can be divided according to several parameters, depending on the material used in the manufacture, shape, design, color, size, etc.

According to the material of manufacture, they are divided into plastic and metal. As a rule, plastic models are more popular. They are lightweight, durable, the curtains can be quickly put on them, while not deforming the very shape of the ring. Plastic elements come in different colors, they can even be transparent. Metal models are less common and usually cost more than plastic counterparts.

In terms of shape and design, rings are divided into several main types.

• Pear-shaped models. Here the name speaks for itself. Such rings are not perfectly round, but rather more like two semicircles of different sizes connected to each other.
• The so-called woven rings. Textile accessory with welded-in plastic or iron circle. Simply put, these are instances with built-in rings. One of the most convenient options.
• Rings supplemented pendants.

Consider the features of plastic products.

• Affordable price category. Their price usually does not exceed 150 rubles per set.
• Wide range of colors. Plastic can be given any color, which is a great advantage if a certain bright or pastel shade is required for the interior of the bathroom.
• Long service life. Most often it happens that the time comes to change the curtain, and the plastic rings perfectly retained their shape and quality.
• Diverse design. Rings can be not only round, but also oval and pear-shaped.
• The strength of the models. Plastic, despite its light texture, is very difficult to deform. Therefore, it is difficult to break the rings made of it accidentally or seriously damage them.
• Ease of use. Such models are almost invisible during operation and do an excellent job with their functions.

Now let's talk about the advantages of metal models.

• Durability. These rings last even longer than plastic ones. The material of manufacture is aluminum, its various alloys, iron, chromium. Chrome models are particularly durable and can withstand heavy fabric curtains.
• Nice appearance... Such rings look beautiful and graceful, in harmony with almost any bathroom design and with any curtain.
• Metal rings look modern or as "designer" accessories. And this is much more effective than simple, laconic, neat plastic products. Some models are available with graceful pendants that further diversify the bathroom interior.

But there are also a few downsides.

• Limited palette of colors. Such rings are mainly of only metallic colors - this is gold, silver or bronze. On the other hand, these are precious metal colors that cannot look cheap and bad. For example, bronze goes well with similar shades such as pink and orange.
• High price category... Not all buyers are ready to spend up to 600 rubles on shower curtain rings.
• Over time, plaque may form on the metal or it may simply rust.... To avoid this, you need to purchase quality products and from time to time carry out a thorough wet cleaning.

Effectively complementing the interior of the bathroom will help not only the correctly selected curtain, but also such trifles as rings for its fastening. Today you can buy ready-made sets of curtains with such fittings. The rings can be matched to the main product or contrast with it.

The scope of these accessories is not limited to the bathroom. They may well come in handy when hanging towels, ties, shopping bags and bags, jewelry, belts, caps, light clothing, and more. The main thing is to show imagination and a creative approach to using such little things.
