Shower Curtain Longer Than 72 Inches
When You Need a Shower Curtain Longer Than 72 Inches
A standard 72-inch shower curtain works well in many bathrooms, but it may not fit every shower space. Higher shower rods, taller ceilings, deeper tubs, and unusual layouts can make a standard shower curtain look too short.
If you are looking for a shower curtain longer than 72 inches, several extra-long sizes can provide better coverage without major bathroom changes.
Choosing Between 78-Inch and 84-Inch Shower Curtains
The first step is deciding how much additional length you actually need.
A 78-inch long shower curtain adds six inches compared with a standard 72-inch length. This can be enough when the shower curtain rod is only slightly higher than usual or when you want the shower curtain to extend a little farther toward the bathtub or floor.
An 84-inch-long shower curtain adds a full 12 inches. This size is often a better choice for higher shower curtain rods, taller bathrooms, or spaces where a standard shower curtain leaves a noticeable gap at the bottom.
At Shower of Curtains, both 72x78 and 72x84 are available as standard shower curtain sizes, giving you extra length without needing to order custom dimensions.
How to Measure for a Longer Shower Curtain
Before ordering shower curtains longer than 72 in, measure from the shower curtain rod down to the point where you want the shower curtain to finish.
The shower curtain should hang low enough to provide good coverage but should not bunch excessively on the bathtub or floor. Measuring first also helps you decide whether six additional inches are enough or whether the full 84-inch shower curtain will work better.
Do not forget the width. A longer shower curtain still needs enough horizontal coverage to hang naturally across the shower opening.
What If Standard Extra-Long Sizes Still Do Not Fit?
Some bathrooms need shower curtain’s dimensions that fall outside standard sizing. Your shower curtain rod may be unusually high, your shower opening may be wider than average, or you may want a very specific finished length.
In those cases, custom sizing can be the better solution. Shower of Curtains offers custom shower curtain sizes, so if 72x78 or 72x84 doesn't suit your bathroom, contact us with the width and length you need.
