A corner shower curtain rod is specifically designed to encompass the entire length and
breadth of a shower cubicle or bathtub. If you have a corner shower cubicle you know that a conventional or curved shower curtain rod is not
sufficient or even ideal.
With this type of rod, you will also be able to effectively control water from spilling on to your bathroom
floor. This in turn reduces the danger of slipping and injury. In addition there will be no tedious mess to clean up afterwards.

Fixing the Brackets and Rod
Before installing your corner shower curtain rods, you will want to take measurements of the exact location
where to mount the brackets. After marking the distances with a light pencil, prepare the wall where to place the screws that will hold the structure
in place. This can be done by lightly drilling a hole on the marked location on the wall.
If you can, avoid hammering nails on to your bathroom wall. This is more so if your bathroom wall is tiled.
The problem of using a nail and hammer to prepare your wall is that there is a high chance of the tiles cracking. This automatically ruins your
overall bathroom look and the tiles may require replacement.
