I'm Stuck On The Curved Shower Rod
And Not On The Curtain!
If you've stayed in hotel lately, you already know what I'm talking about. I'm a fairly large guy and showers can generally be very small spaces. Protruding soap dishes and handicap rails can be elbow shattering obstructions. The shower curtain swings in and sticks to you in very annoying places. (which is quite frightening for us low-grade germophobes.) And frantically parrying with the rogue curtain only makes you whack your elbow again.
The curved shower curtain rod fixes these problems so easily, practically and sensibly, to me it is the smartest invention ever! I'll show you many different kinds that will make it easy to match your decor, give you some installation tips, options for different bathroom configurations and even an alternative solution or two.
The Crescent Rod
From Shower Solutions, Inc.
Shower Solutions, LLC of Houston, TX is the inventor of the Crescent Rod and holds the patents and trademarks. Originally designed for installation with an ovel-shaped tub, it's true benefits became aware when installed with a traditional-shaped tub. Since then, the product has become the Hospitality industries' standard issue in guestroom bathrooms.
They offer three different finishes; special cover plates that conceal the existing holes; and models for two standard shower stall sizes. If you are purchasing a Crescent Rod, be sure to check out their installation guide. (a .pdf file)
I agree totally - I hate showering when the curtain seems to want to attach itself to you. So much more space with these curved rods. Great idea for a lens, 5 *****
This would be great for my broad chested husband. He's a large guy and he is forever complaining (for good reason) that the shower is too small. I'll have to tell him about the curved shower rod. He'll want one! :)
No shower curtains in our house...sliding glass doors are the best because Norman Bates would actually have to open the door to stab me! :) Obviously I shouldn't have watched 'Psycho'!
