I'm hoping someone may be able to help me
I recently purchased a home that has a window in the shower, dont ask me why but its there anyhoo the curtain that is on there is ishy poo and needs to go but i cant seem to find one ANYWHERE! I've searched the net and all I can find is full length shower curtains not just for a window. I've asked everyone I know and no one seems to have a clue.
So my question is does anyone know if or where i can purchase such a thing or anything close to that? I know very little about it but it is made of the same material as a waterproof shower curtain
any help for this clueless soul would be great

if you found a curtain that you liked would it work if you just cut it to fit .....another idea ...a cutain you like with a soft plastic over it or a good coating of water proof paint on the trim and sill if posible and frost or stain glass the window

I have a window in my tub/shower area and I had the same problem you're having. I did end up buying a cheap shower curtain/liner and cutting a section long enough to drop 3" below my window sill. When the first curtain got tired/dirty looking from constant use - I just cut another from the same curtain (my window is only about 24" so I can get 2 (3 if I skimp) from the same curtain. To finish off the bottom I just turned up the cut edge and used my hot glue gun to make a hem.

Most folks cut a plastic shower liner down to size or install vinyl mini blinds.

You're right, windows in showers shouldn't be.
The best thing to do is replace the window with frosted glass blocks. Then do away with the curtains altogether.
