To install a shower curtain in any bathroom, you will first need to consider the main choices you will have when you go looking around for shower curtain rods. A permanent rod will need to be attached securely to the wall using sturdy brackets, while a temporary curtain rod will not need any extra hardware to affix it to the ceiling or wall.
Both types of rods have their own unique characteristics and offer advantages as well as disadvantages. The permanent rod will be sturdier and more durable in the long run. You can choose a heavier shower curtain if you want with this permanent fixture. With proper installation, there is very little risk of this type of rod falling down. These kinds of rods are a little more complicated to install and you should be aware that there will be holes left behind if you ever decide to remove them. They will also cost more.
A temporary rod can be easily installed without any type of bracket at all and you do not need to put holes in the wall either. The telescope design allows this type of rod to be extended to whatever length is needed. The rod is placed between two walls and they are held in place by the tension.
A temporary rod is much less sturdy and they are very easy to pull down. It takes just a few minutes to put the rod in place and no tools are needed. There is no drilling or any of the other mess usually associated with a major home improvement project. This is a much better choice if you are a renter and expected to leave your living space in the same condition as when you arrived.
Hanging just the right shower curtain can instantly transform your bathroom and give it an entirely new look and feel.
