Any plastic on this thing? Item description says "weighted plastic hem"... I actually want to use it as a window curtain liner...

There is no visible plastic on the curtain. There may be a thin plastic card in the hem. I haven't opened the seam to look nor will I. I use mine as a liner as well.

I believe that might pertain to what is used for weight inside the (totally fabric) hem. It feels like it could be sand, but perhaps it's ground plastic... don't know. The only quibble I have with this item is that it has some creases -- probably from the way it was folded and packaged -- that ideally one would iron out, and thus it would look nicer, whether in the shower or especially over a window.

I just took a closer look at it and there isn't plastic, but it is hemmed towards the front for use in a shower, so water doesn't collect and mildew. I would definitely buy them because the material in pretty and has a really nice hand. If they do show under your curtains you could easily turn them around or re-hem. You gave me a great idea for the future.

Wow, I didn't even realize there was plastic in there because it is concealed in the hem at the bottom. Just FYI, the seam is folded on the outside, but done nicely so I think it would work as a curtain liner...neat idea!

It's made of lace, but it's not expensive lace of course. The material is lace-like, a little bit rough to the touch. It's completely see-through and can not be used as shower liner, you need to buy a seperate shower liner, since this curtain is just for decoration. I've had it for about 8 months, still looks good.

Sorry, not sure. It is definitely not vinyl. Some type of fabric, my guess would be nylon

No, just a simple (and flimsy, at that) hem on the bottom. The top hem of mine tore within the first week but it's the only curtain I've found that fits my shower so I'm stuck with it.

That is what I am using it for now. It is a lightweight fabric that would work for both a liner or a shower curtain. Wynndi

It's a nice, heavy-duty material. You don't need to thread hooks through the grommets on top, they are designed to just snap around the shower curtain rod. I HAVE cut cheap plastic curtains and that works ok, but they tend to keep ripping, it's hard to judge the best place to cut to approximate the bench in the right place. For the $20 it saves me aggravation.

I have a liner(inside) and shower curtain (outside) both have metal grommets. Works wonderfully. I love my new bathroom.

No rust on mine and it's been up for a while. I also noticed that there is no mildew either. The plastic on this curtain is fairly thick and durable although entertainingly transparent.

Doesn't feel like plastic to me. Pretty sure it's wicker. Doesn't it say on the description?

No, not the water proof, thick plastic like a tarp. It appears to be a "water resistant", poly blend, similar to a polyester shower curtain. Typical shelter material. The windows are a heavier plastic material. The front and back zippers do not separate at the top. The walls have velcro strips that you wrap around the top of the frame and the legs. Be prepared to do some mending! My walls had un-attached and missing pieces of velcro which required purchasing velcro and sewing the velcro onto the walls. I do not recommend purchasing this product, I encountered structural problems as well, that required "rigging".

I would say yes. It IS fabric, and not plastic, but it has kind of a canvassy visual texture to it.. It's too coarse (and somewhat pixelated, as you'll see me and other reviewers say) to pull of the elegance of a window curtain, in my opinion.

I did add a liner. To protect the curtain and it didn't state it was water resistant. Getting water on this material over time would damage it. It feels like synthetic leather and has the texture of it.

The entire mount is made of plastic but I've been VERY happy with it. I hang the heavier clothing on the rungs closer to the wall and the light items in the front. It works great for me!

I had never heard of a PVC curtain until your question which led me to do some research on the subject. I thank you for enlightening me on this type of product. But from what I have read PVC is a type of vinyl and to my knowledge the shower curtain in question does not have the feel of vinyl. I would say it is more of a plastic as it is not easy to roll, move or squish if you get my meaning. This curtain is rather stiff. I hope this answers your question. Other than looking at the panel on what it is made of and comparing it with the PVC kind, I can only help you this far. Good luck

Manon B., this shower curtain is made from a woven cloth fabric that is not water resistant. You'll need an inexpensive plastic curtain liner to protect it from water. General rule of thumb... if the shower curtain is not made of plastic it'll need a plastic liner to protect it.

Vinyl and very sturdy. Get a shower curtain liner to go with this because it is see through.

Yes, it is plastic and very waterproof and; in fact, has proven quite durable since I've used it almost continually since my purchase. I do use liners which always help extend the life of any shower curtain. You don't NEED a liner, it is plastic, but one would keep it clean and longer lasting.
