Most shower curtains cover tubs that are 14 inches wide. The shower curtain should be where the tub "ends" and should be hung 7-8 inches from the ceiling.

How long should my shower curtain be?
The shower curtain should hang at least six inches below the edge of the tub to prevent water from spraying onto the floor. The curtain shouldn't hang too far into the tub or mold will develop on the curtain from trapped water.
How far from the floor should a shower curtain hang?
Long enough so people cant see your dick Alternatively, 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. 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. However, its important for the curtain to be clear of the floor of the shower to be able to dry properly. Allow at least a couple of centimetres for a little stretch in the fabric.
How far apart do you place the hooks on a wall mounted coat rack?
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.
How to Prevent Shower Curtain Mildew?
Any shower curtain is prone to occasional mildew, due to the fact that they hang in the most moisture filled room in anyone’s home. While you’ve got your steamy shower to blame for the unpleasant appearance of mildew on your shower curtain and your occasional hot water running from the sink in your lavatory, most people don’t realize that even flushing your toilet releases a mist of moisture in the air which can also contribute to the damp conditions that cause mildew to grow on shower curtains. The best way to prevent mildew on your shower curtain, of course, is to dry the curtain after a shower, however, this method just isn’t at all that practical and can be very tedious and time consuming. Seriously…who does that? A method that works extremely well and only takes a few seconds of your time is to use a solution made of bleach and water on your shower curtain after each shower. You can use any old spray bottle. Fill it two-thirds of the way with water and one-third with bleach. Once you are out of the shower, pull your shower curtain away from any surface it may rest against and lightly spray it with the solution, especially in any area where the shower curtain may rest against another surface such as the tub or shower walls. This will keep your shower curtain free of most of the bacteria that cause mildew to grow and keep it looking almost like new without putting enough bleach on it to deteriorate the fabric. If your shower curtain is made of a fabric that can not handle bleach or would be discolored by bleach there are color safe bleaches which will not discolor your shower curtain when you use them. If you are sensitive to bleach yourself or have an allergic reaction to bleach, you can also find bleach alternatives, which are far easier on those who cannot necessarily deal with the straight bleach solution to keep the mildew off of their shower curtain. You will want to dilute these with water as well and use them in the same fashion to prevent mildew on your shower curtain.
How many inches from the floor should a towel bar be placed and how far from the toilet?
standard height is 36 inches and if there is available wall space you should put it as close to the sink or shower/tub as possible.
Should a shower curtain be placed at ceiling height or at tile height if tile does not extend up to ceiling?
The purpose of a shower curtain is to contain water - keeping it off the floor and the wall, especially if it is not covered in a waterproof surface material. One important factor in hanging the curtain is the height of the people showering. A tall person whose head is closer to the shower head will put a lot more water up and out of the shower enclosure than a shorter person. In the planning stages of a plumbing project, you can place the shower head higher than normal (nice for us tall folks, anyway) to minimize spray deflection. But if this is a case of a new curtain rod only, take note of where droplets remain after you shower, and plan to place the curtain rod where it will deflect the spray. This is unfair on taller people, however, as standard shower curtains can only be raised so far before they let water out the bottom! Perhaps you'll need to buy or make an extra-long curtain; maybe add coordinating fabric to the top or bottom of a standard curtain. If height is not an issue, hang a curtain liner on the rod and hold it up over the tub; the bottom of the liner should fall securely into the tub, but not lie on the bottom. Mark the bracket position and be sure to hang the rod level. Remember to keep close watch on the painted surfaces inside the shower enclosure: if your tile stops short of the spray-line, you'll be repainting more often to keep moisture out of the drywall. It is always a good practice to wipe walls after showering, to keep nasty things like mold and mildew at bay. Even the best latex paint is no match for standing water, and you certainly don't want your drywall compromised. Good luck! Jill Murtagh, Murtagh Interiors

What is the distance from wall to the centre of drain for a stand up shower?
Showers in NY State have to be a minimum of 900 sq. in. (30 x 30). If the shower is on a base you can measure the center. If a shower base is going to be made of tile you can put the drain anywhere as long as the tile base pitches to the drain. I've put them inches from walls. At least center it in the other direction so it looks nice.
