A shower grommet is a small 3/8″ metal that is “punched” into the shower curtain header to accommodate your shower hooks. The hooks rest on your shower rod and slide on the rod for easy opening and closing.
The other type of grommet is a larger and primarily used for drapery. If you want the larger grommet for your shower curtain, you would have to order it from the drapery department and request it be unlined. We recommend that you speak to our design department before ordering the large grommet.

- When order a custom size shower curtain liner, it is recommended that you follow a couple of simple rules. Click on the “Measuring” link below for instruction on how to measure.
- Measure from the shower rod to the inside of the tub or shower stall
- On a tub, take off a two or three inches. You do not want the liner to puddle at the bottom of the tub. This is a recipe for mold and mildew.
- On a shower stall, measure to the bottom of the shower pan and take off a perhaps just an inch. You want to make sure it overlaps the curb, but does not puddle.

- With the exception of Rod Pocket drapes, all drapes require drapery pins so they can be attached to a variety of hardware options. Drapery pins are small metal hooks attached to the back of the drape and are not visible into the room.
- When using decorative hardware, the pin slips into a tiny eyelet on the decorative ring and holds the drapery in place.
- As an option, the rings can be sewn to the drapery fabric and thus pins would not be used. Some drape styles such as the Flat Panel cannot use pins and the rings must be sewn on.
