Having been in the shower curtain business for years, we have certainly dealt with both of the above problems and there is a simple solution. StayDry Shower Systems has invented two different styles of extra long shower rings to solve this problem for home owners, university residences, hotels or anywhere there is a shower.

One style the company offers is the “Residential“ extra long shower rings, which are made of white plastic and are “C” shaped. These rings are designed to fit over a one inch or larger diameter shower rod. These extra long shower rings are available in lengths from three inches long up to eight and a half inch long ( 3”-8.5”). These are ideal for the home use.

StayDry Shower Systems also produces their “Institutional” extra long shower rings which are used in a shower that is used many times during the day such as in a university residence. These rings come in a variety of lengths and are popular with facility operators. This is because they can order a common size of shower curtain (less expensive than ordering a custom size shower curtain) and the use of these rings allow them to use the curtain in any shower unit regardless of the height of the shower rod.

A properly installed shower curtain in a shower stall should be hung so the bottom hem is about ¼ inch to a ½ inch off the shower pan or base. This small gap between the curtain and the shower pan allows for the curtain to properly drip dry when not in use. This avoids the curtain ending up touching shower pan and remaining constantly wet thus creating the possibility of mold or mildew growing on your curtain.

So if your shower curtain is too short or your shower rod is too high, StayDry’s extra long shower rings could be your solution.

Obviously the main reason for both designing and having a small shower stall is to be efficient with space in your RV or on your boat. However one of the main challenges when using these units has always been how to keep the shower water inside the shower unit and not on the floor or furnishings surrounding the unit.

This similar challenge was happening with a Canadian family in British Columbia; however, it was not in a RV or on a boat. It was problem happening in the family’s main bathroom with their five foot wide combined shower / bath unit. It seemed that both the family’s teenage girls, who played a number of sports and use of the shower at least once and sometimes twice per day, were one of the key factors.

The last thing on these teenage girls’ minds was remembering to ensure that the shower curtain was property closed. So overtime with shower water constantly escaping onto the floor and wall and not always being wiped dry, sections of the flooring and wall require repair attention.

It was at this point their father, who was a DIY (Do it yourself) homeowner, came up with the idea of a shower curtain kit. The shower curtain kit is a shower curtain that creates a reusable watertight seal to any shower wall without the use of magnets, Velcro or suction cups. The kit works on the same basis as the seal on a plastic sandwich bag. These kits are now available in various widths of 38”, 48” or 66” and can be ordered in a fabric or PEVA vinyl material. The company that produces these kits is called StayDry Systems. They also have another product called the Shower Curtain Sealer that creates the same reusable watertight seal but with your existing shower curtain.

Now whether you have a small RV or boat shower stall or a large shower in your home, you can relax and appreciate your shower more, knowing that your floors, walls and furnishing around your shower will be kept dry.

Some RV and boat shower curtain problems include – Water leaking pass your shower curtain, stepping out of the shower into a puddle, water causing water damage to floors and walls, curtain blowing in or out, increased housework and maintenance all because of a poorly designed shower curtain.

We have noted the challenges of a typical shower curtain and have two solutions.

Our first option is that we have designed a fabric shower curtain that creates a re usable water tight seal which eliminates shower water spray escaping from your shower. The second option is our Shower Curtain Sealers which create the same re usable water tight seal, however using your existing shower curtain. With both options, floors outside of the shower units are kept clean, dry and safe.

This shower curtain was originally invented to control the escaping water and damage that two teenage girls usually made when showering in our family bathroom. Since those early years we have continued to improve the design of this simple yet effective shower curtain. We now supply these curtains to universities, hospitals, assisted living communities, along with rv’s, boats, homes, cottages, fitness clubs, and any other places where you can find a shower. These curtains / liners are also being used successfully used in ADA shower stalls.

The polyester curtain comes in various sizes and has both anti bacterial and water resistance treatments. It has sewn button holes across the top vs metal so there is no rusting in damp environments.

The bottom hems are folded and sewn outwards to avoid any dirt or soap from the shower getting caught in the lower seam.

StayDry Shower System is pleased to announce their newest extra long shower rings. The “new style“ extra long shower rings are available in lengths from 3 inches to 8 1/2 inches. These white plastic rings come in sets of 12 and are specifically designed to fit on either a 1 inch diameter shower rod (residential) or 1.25 inch diameter shower rod (commercial size)
.

The New Style rings are said to be more attractive than our original industrial extra long shower rings. Both styles of extra long rings are available our Products Page along with product info about our “Seal the the Wall” shower curtains and our collapsible water dam.

There is a lot of work installing and then regularly cleaning a shower door. Also there is the cost of a solid shower door.


StayDry Shower Systems has designed a patented innovative, “seal to the wall“ shower curtain which works in both bathtubs and shower stalls.

The Curtain is designed with large side hems running down both sides of the curtain. A long rubber tube is connected a shower ring closest to the wall of the shower unit on both sides. The tubes extend down from the shower ring to the top of the bathtub or the shower pan depending on where you are installing curtain. The shower curtain is then connected to the first shower ring and the tubes slides down the side sleeve of the curtain. Then the curtain is attached to the intervening rings until the last ring where the process is repeated with the tube insertion in the sleeve and the curtain attached to the ring
.

There are half inch wide plastic wall channels that come with your curtain that adheres to any shower walls with double sided peel and stick adhesive. The curtain with the two tubes inside the side sleeves is pressed into wall channels to create a watertight seal in either a tub or shower stall.

To laundry your curtains simply remove your curtain from the shower rings, sliding off the tubes and throw it into the wash. For more information about an alternative to a shower door, please visit our Products Page to learn more about this curtain, our extra long shower rings and our collapsible water dam.



Gone are the days when you had to put a shampoo bottle up against your shower curtain to try to stop shower water from getting past your curtain on to bathroom floor.


StayDry Shower Systems has invented their sealed to the wall shower curtain that does exactly what it says. This patented shower curtain actually creates a reusable water tight seal against any shower wall in either a bathtub or in a stall.



Customers talk about the amount of time they save by having one of these unique curtains. Time is saved by reduced eliminating water spills maintenance even when compared to a solid shower door and at a fraction of the cost.



How does it work? There is large narrow sleeve going down both sides of the shower curtain. A long rubber tube is connected to the shower ring closest to each wall of the shower unit. The tube extends from the shower ring to the top of the bathtub or the shower pan depending on where you are installing the “Seal to the Wall “ shower curtain. The tubes are placed into the shower curtain side sleeves. At the same time there is are half inch wide plastic wall channels with double-sided adhesive which you peel and stick to the shower walls to accept the curtain edge holding the rubber tube. Once you press the curtain into the wall channels it forms a watertight seal.

To wash curtains you simply unhook your shower curtain from all the shower rings sliding it all the tubes and throw it into the washing machine. To learn more about this curtain and our other products, please visit our Products Page and the Frequently Asked Questions Page.

It is a good thing that there is finally a company now producing extra long shower rings of various lengths to help anyone who has an existing shower curtain that is too short to control the shower water within a shower stall.

Depending on the height that your shower rod was installed, a standard 70” or 72” inch long shower curtain may not be long enough to help control and keep the shower water inside the shower unit. You may be someone who has a similar problem.

You may ask “how do I know what size or length of extra long shower rings should I order?” There is a very simple way to figure this out.

First, take the inside diameter measurement of your current shower curtain rings; (For example – the inside diameter is two 2 inches), Then you take the measurement of the gap between the bottom of your shower curtain and the distance to the shower pan or base; (Let’s assume it is four 4 inches). So we now have a total of six 6 inches if you combine both measurements.

The proper length of a shower curtain bottom hem should be approximately ¼” to ½” inches up and off of the shower pan or base.

This small space will allow your shower curtain to proper drip dry between shower rather than remain wet allowing bacteria to grow.

So a person would subtract ½ inch from the total measurement which in the example above was six 6 inches, which will give you the measurement of the extra long shower ring you should order – 5 ½ inches.

Over the years of selling shower accessories, we have been asked a number of times; “Can a person create a curve or make a right angle turn using our shower pan water retainer?”

The answer is “yes” because of the overall design of the water dam. The water dam designs consist of the vertical loop which is approximately 1-1/4 inches high and the base of the dam which is also 1-1/4 inches wide. The base has two strip of adhesive bonded to the water dam.

The vertical rubber loop which both controls the shower curtain and stops the water escaping from the bottom of the shower, is situated on one side (or on one half of the base of the water dam).

The other side of the water dam base will allow an individual to either make a series of relief cuts to allow for an overall slight curve when attaching the water dam to the shower unit. In some cases, a home owner may need to make a right turn with the water dam. This is done by cutting out a small triangle shape on the one side of the water dam base that does not have the vertical loop. By cutting out the triangle in the base, this allows for a right angle turn without cutting through the vertical loop.

If you need to make this right angle turn, when ordering your water dam, it is suggested that you order an extra foot or length of dam. Use the extra length to practice cutting the correct size of triangle section of the base to meet your requirements.

If you need to purchase a shower door or solid shower enclosure, it usually means that you are looking for a solution to stop water escaping out of your shower unit. This is especially true of some families with teenagers or older individuals who still act like a teenager. Others make the change from having a solid shower encloser to a curtain because of a need to find a safer and easier transfer from a wheel chair or walker.

Here are a few more reasons that a person or family may want to consider the alternative to a solid shower door.

Price- Any solid shower door is expensive. You are looking at a price somewhere between a few hundred dollars up to thousands depending on your needs. There is an excellent alternative that offer all the same benefits of a solid enclosure and only for the price of a curtain, however currently, you have to be willing to search the web to discover this innovative product. Over time this alternative will be in most major retailer

Installation – Unless you are a professional in the construction industry, you will find installing a shower door very challenging and time consuming. There could be additional pressure from other members of the family if you are doing the installation yourself, and they need access to the construction zone. The innovative alternative can be installed in minutes with a pair of scissors.

Cleaning – Regardless what your shower enclosure is made of, someone will have to regularly clean it. Not a quick and easy job. You are going to have to have the flexibility to get into some hard to reach area both up and down and in the corners of the unit. With the alternative, you simply slide the curtain off the side tubes and through the curtain into your laundry. Hang to dry and the cleaning of your alternative shower door is done.

Claustrophobic- Some people feel a little claustrophobic especially when the shower enclosure is in a combination bath / shower unit. This usually means a person can be lying in a tub with various frame work or panels of glass or plastic blocking their view out of a tub. With the alternative, you just slide the curtain to one end of the tub and lie back and relax.

Currently the alternative is used in homes, universities, hotels, hospital, senior housing, RV’s and Marine shower installations. This may be a good time for you to review the latest innovation in shower curtains in years, the shower door in a bag.
