Another aspect to consider is the shape of the shower curtain rods you are looking at and the type of tub or shower it is going to be installed in. For instance, an I shaped, curved or bowed rod may be desired for aesthetics. Some may need a circular or oval shower rod for a certain type of tub like for clawfoot tubs. If you have a normal shower stall, then a straight rod will do. Other than that, you will have to go by taste and design needs. This will really depend on the style of your bathroom and possibly your home decor as a whole. For many, though, just a plain working curtain rod will do, that will no rust and hold tight for years.
Many bathtubs and showers all over employ a shower curtain of some sort. These are held in place by an adjustable rod most of the time. If you have a shower curtain and not a shower door, which type of shower curtain rod are you using? Is it plastic, chrome or made of some other material?
