Brushed Nickel Shower Curtain Rod
Types of Brushed Nickel Shower Curtain Rods
When you’re trying to pick out the best shower curtain rods for your bathroom you want to consider where it’s being installed. If you’re looking for a permanent curtain rod for your shower and not really worried about putting holes in your walls or tile, then you could go for a curtain rod that requires mounting brackets and screws to secure it. Brushed Nickel Shower Curtain Rods that come with the mounting brackets and screws are usually installed in higher end showers and tend to look a little more ‘finished’.
If you’re not sure if you want to keep the same shower curtain rod in your bathroom forever, if you like to change it frequently, or if you just don’t own the house/apartment that you’re living in, then you can always buy a removable shower rod. These kinds of shower curtain rods are really easy to install and uninstall because they don’t require any screws or brackets. The removable shower curtain rod uses the same engineering as the tension pole shower caddy, all you have to do is position the rod into place and ratchet it until it tightens between your shower walls.
One of the most popular kinds of nickel shower curtain rods are the curved ones. These rods typically come with very nice mounting brackets because they require a sturdier than normal installation due to their shape. The curved shower curtain rods are popular primarily because they give you an extra foot or so of elbow room when you’re showering so you don’t feel so contained. If you choose the curved shower rod over the straight one you’ll just want to double check the length requirements for your actual shower curtain because the curve makes the wall to wall distance longer than a regular straight rod.
In addition to the aforementioned decisions you’ll have to make, there are also plenty of other options that are available to fit just about any need you could imagine in the shower curtain rod department. Aside from the different shaped curtain rods you can find, there’s also different things available such as double rod. Double rods are designed so that you can hang a cheap plastic curtain on the interior of your shower, then hang a fancier shower curtain on the outside for looks.
If you can’t find the brushed nickel shower curtain rod you really want, then you can always spend the extra money and get a custom rod manufactured specific to your wants and needs.
