If you have been to a hotel lately, you have probably noticed the use of the curved shower curtain rod. It creates extra space in a tight shower and gives depth to your bathroom. Though it seems simple enough, there are actually different varieties of curved shower curtain rods you can purchase for your bathroom shower.
You can find curved shower curtain rods that are a solid arch or an “S” curve in shape. These shower curtain rods can be made from iron, bronze, nickel or brass. If you are purchasing a curved shower rod you will want to make sure it is rust-resistant so that you do not have to worry about replacing your shower curtain rod frequently due to rusting. You can find your shower curtain rod with a polished stainless steel finish, black finish, or even white in color. Shower curtain rods that are curved do require specific anchors and you will need to measure your shower to ensure that you purchase the right size. A shower curtain rod that has to be anchored to the wall will need to have a tight enough fit between the two walls in order to secure into place and hold your shower curtain.
Curved shower curtain rods can range anywhere from $23.00 to over $60.00. These shower curtain rods will typically cost more due to the extra space and materials that they require in order to hold a shower curtain. Most shower curtains will give users up to nine inches of extra space in the shower, but to do so it requires more material to make the shower curtain rod. If you purchase a bronze, brass or nickel shower curtain rod you will be paying more than one that is created from stainless steel. In any case, you should always pick the style that appeals most to your taste. If you can’t make up your mind, choose a style that simply goes better with the rest of your bathroom and bathroom accessories.
You can find curved shower curtain rods both in-store and online anywhere home goods or bathroom goods are sold. If you are looking to shop online, visit retailers such as Overstock, Signature Hardware, Mr. Grab Bar, Amazon, eBay, Harney Hardware and Vintage Tub. Always factor in the cost of shipping when it comes to shopping online. If you are doing your shopping locally, you can visit retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, Kmart, The Home Depot, Lowes, Pottery Barn, or ACE Hardware Superstore for your curved shower curtain rod. Wherever you decide to purchase, it is always a good idea to do a price comparison with a similar store just to make sure you’re getting a good deal.
A curved shower curtain rod will add extra inches to your shower space so that you do not have to feel cramped while taking your shower. They can give a luxury shower feel just like you get at the hotels, but without the added price of going out of town. Purchase a curved shower rod for your bathroom and add that luxurious feel to your own home.
