Shower Remodeling

The first thing visitors see when they enter your bathroom is the shower. This is why bathroom shower rods are so important; they give guests their first impression of your style and class. Shower rods come in many shapes and sizes and shapes that can give your bathroom a modern or contemporary appearance. A free-standing bathtub such as a claw foot tub can also use bathroom shower rods like the Chrome Oval Shower Rod with Support found on amazon.com for $184.66. These attach to the bathtub and ceiling for extra support and enclose the bathtub for use with a shower.

Oval bathroom shower rods aren’t the only other styles besides straight ones. The Elements of Design Shower Curtain Rod found on faucetdirect.com for $117.27 is for a corner shower. They attach on two walls and also feature a ceiling support. These are sometimes called L shaped shower rods. The Sunrise Specialty Co Shower Rod found on remodelcenter.com is an l shaped curtain rod. It costs $157.50 and comes in chrome, polished nickel, polished brass, satin nickel and unprotected polished brass. Both are great for corner showers or to help enclose a corner of your bathroom.

You may be someone who likes a fabric shower curtain. In this case you will also need a vinyl liner to prevent water from damaging your fabric curtain. Many people are unaware that there are double bathroom shower rods that allow you to hang two curtains at once.  The Double Crescent Shower Curtain Rod found on signaturehardware.com for $68.95 is designed for a fabric shower curtain as well as a vinyl liner. They can also give you extra room because they are curved out. This means you don’t have to worry about the curtains getting stuck to your body while you are bathing.

A popular style of showers called the neo angle showers can also use shower curtains. The Barclay 4156 Neo Angle Shower Rod found on decorglamour.com for $112.00 comes in polished brass or polished chrome. These are an odd shape of bathroom shower rods having three angles to it. They come in different sizes and prices. Curtain rods will vary according to retailers, designs and materials. Some retailers will have to special order certain rods such as the neo angle or curved rods. Don’t forget to choose a special style of shower curtain to go with your new rods too.

The shower curtains you hang are just as important as the curtain rods. You can choose from nautical, retro, contemporary or solid colors. Shower curtains will vary in design, color and prices. Curtain liners come primarily in white and clear and are generally weighted at the bottom. They generally come in one size fits all meaning that the same curtain that fits a curved or neo angle rod will also fit an L shaped rod. The only exception to this is with an oval shower rod; you must have a much larger curtain or two curtains to fit.  Although shower curtains come in one size, they are generally large enough to fit almost any shower doorway or bathtub.
