Hi Angi. I think the reason for no friction fit on these thus far is that there is a lot of weight that potentially hangs off the curved portion of the rod. That weight would most likely rotate the curved section down. Unless someone comes up with a nifty trick to overcome the physics involved, I’m afraid you’re limited to straight rods when it comes to friction fits. If we hear otherwise, we’ll let it be known though.

Can someone please give us a friction fit curved shower rod? I would love you for this. PLEASE AND SOON.

Hi Meredith. Can you email us a sketch? I’m having trouble visualizing what you have in mind here.

Thank you for the information! Like Bertie, I would like to use this curved rod concept in a shower “stall.” I’m building a new house and in the bathroom that will serve the swimming pool, I’d like to tile two side and run a curved rod and curtain(s) to enclose it. Any ideas for how to make this work?

Thank you!

P.S. Your response to Brooke was admirable.

Hi Kristina. Many standard (straight) shower rods are friction fit and can span between tiled walls without using hardware. All the curved rods we’ve seen require drilling holes. Since it’s just a temporary solution, I’d suggest going with a straight rod with friction fit so you can easily remove it later without having holes in your tile. Most bed/bath retailers, or places like Target have straight shower rods (just pick one that doesn’t require hardware installation). Good luck!

We have a tiled shower but can’t afford to buy/put up the glass shower doors yet. So I was looking at getting a curved shower rod to put up in its place till we get the doors up. The catch is I don’t want to put screw holes into my tile. Is there any way to put up a rod with out using screws? If so, where do I go about finding it???

Ah Brooks. If only I went to diplomacy school where you did. Actually, our site shows up just great on most browsers, but we do occasionally get reports of wonky display issues (in almost all of these it was with users using really old versions of Internet Explorer, which I’m sorry to say we don’t support). Please try pulling up the site in a current browser to see if that looks a little better to you, or, if you’d like us to look into your particular issue, please email us a screenshot of what you’re seeing along with the browser name, version and operating system you’re running and I’ll be happy to check into it. Thanks for mentioning the issue, although next time we’d appreciate it if you did so a little more politely and more directly (via email?)
