The height at which a shower curtain rail or rod is mounted is determined by the following:

  • The length of the shower curtain to be used. Ready made shower curtains are set lengths--typically 70 - 72 inches high. If you intend to use these without modifying them, check what lengths are available and set the rail height so that the curtain is clear of the floor of the shower so it will drain dry, and allowing at least a couple of centimetres gap for a little stretch in the fabric.
  • If the shower base has a lip to stop the curtain blowing out, the curtain should be set to hang in contact with this by at least 50mm/2 inches.

The standard size of a shower curtain is 70 inches wide by 72 inches high. Assume that the shower curtain will hang approximately 1-1/2 inches below the center of the rod and that you would like the curtain to hang 3 inches above the floor of the shower. Then the rod should be mounted with its center at 76-1/2 inches (72 + 1 1/2+ 3 = 76 1/2) above the floor.

You should measure the length of the shower curtain first. It should hang 3-4 inches below the edge of a tub, or a couple of inches longer than the step of a walk in shower.

Extra long shower curtains are available should you need them.

A wall mount coat rack should be at least 70 inches off the floor. Which means that if you look straight at it you will be facing the middle of the coats and not the top of the coat rack.
