The only problem I can see is that the rail and gears for the blinds that mounts to the ceiling usually has metal parts which will rust from steam and eventually make it difficult to open and close the blinds. You may be able to coat it in water resistant paint to overcome this. Though it might grow mold in the housing too so you’ll have to clean it occasionally
That’s the only problem? What about how the blinds are outside of the tub, directing all the water directly to the floor?
Not a problem because they are clearly going to install a separate shower liner on the rod that is hanging there. How many of you really only use a liner with no curtain? These blinds are a curtain replacement, not a liner replacement.
Gotta change the gear ratio on the twisty stick, so you can open and close much faster.
Switch to pull string.
OK, but if you closed the blinds the other way, and the bottom was inside the tub, I think this would actually work. At least as well as woven shower curtains do.
Edit: They’d probably be a pain to keep clean, but you’d also be able to rainex them which would let them dry faster then curtains.
They’re meant to hang outside of the tub with a clear liner hanging inside, the same way you’d use a cloth shower curtain.
The real problem is that they’re mounted on the ceiling, so there’s no way for the steam to escape. Those blinds are going to bounce the whole time they’re showering.
It could be some nice ASMR while showering. Like steam powered wind chimes made of plastic lol. Click…clack, click, click…clack…clack
ITT, people who didn’t see the shower rod, ready for a separate shower liner. This is clearly a post-installation photo from a proud inventor; the shower liner will come.
Doesn’t look like a new bathroom to me at all. Even if you’re right, and the proud installer didn’t remove the existing shower curtain out of stupidity, what’s the point, though?
They want the blinds to deal with the privacy aspect, but they’ll still install a liner for the water aspect. They just thought blinds instead of a traditional curtain (but not to replace the liner, which is often separate from the shower curtain) was cool or funny.
The blinds need to be IN the shower, not outside of the shower.
Also turned the other direction it would actually work.
I wonder how much air would just swirl around in that shower lol
No, only the lining needs to be inside
Everybody living in 2024 while this guy living in 1500
I hope there’s a light in the shower since blinds are opaque while shower curtains are not.
And a wet floor
