Be@Home - Decor and Design

Enjoy the extra elbow room when you rinse, lather and repeat in the shower by adding a curved shower curtain rod to your existing tub. Until recently, curved shower curtain rods could be found only in high-end hotels and resorts. Now you can bring the luxurious feel of a spa to your home with a small investment of time and money. The benefits of installing a curved shower curtain rod include:

• Increase space – You no longer have to feel the liner sticking to your elbows or arms while lathering up or rinsing off. Curved shower curtain rods can add up to 9” of elbow room. They are available to fit standard 5’ and 6’ tubs, with some retailers like Signature Hardware providing custom cuts and extension pieces if your tub or shower area doesn’t fit the standard size.
• Increase storage space – By investing in a double shower curtain rod, you significantly increase available storage space. In addition to the extra elbow room, you’ll also have an additional rod for hanging towels or a curtain and liner. This feature is great for families, where a few towel bars in the bathroom just isn’t enough.
• Increase safety – The curves at the corners of the shower curtain rods prevent water leakage. Dry floors mean fewer slips. The curved corners prevent leakage that could lead to water damaged walls and floors.
• Save money – Many curved shower curtain rods are surprisingly affordable, with retail prices ranging from $35 – $75. This allows you to add space to the bathroom without the cost of a complete renovation. Easy to install, the rods include mounting hardware in a variety of finishes to complement any décor.
• Long-lasting – Curved shower curtain rods are made from rust proof materials to stand up to the humidity in bathrooms and last a lifetime.
