Maybe you want the most modern bathroom design you can find - but you're worried that you won't be able to
find a shower curtain rod that works with your oddly-shaped shower. It's not a problem if you use L-shaped shower curtain
rods!
These devices are becoming more and more popular - especially as more and more people turn to unique
bathroom designs, instead of conventional set-ups.
Why not just use the traditional shower curtain rods?
If you don't have a traditional bathroom - one where your shower is covered on 3 sides with a wall -
traditional shower curtain rods will not work. If you have a corner shower that only has 2 walls or an open shower, you need something that gives you
more privacy. L-shaped shower curtain rods allow you to cover up on two different sides. That way, you get all the privacy you need - even if other
people have to share the bathroom with you!
How do they work?
True to their name, L-shaped
shower curtain rods are just like traditional shower rods - only they're shaped like an L instead of a straight line. They consist of two
straight bars that meet at a 90-degree angle. And, the bars can be as long or as short as you want, so that you can use them in a variety of
different-sized showers.
Because of their unique shape, you will need some kind of L-shaped shower curtain rod support to help them
stay up. That way, you can rest easy knowing that your shower curtain will be steady and secure - no matter how many people need to use the
shower!
In many cases, these rods will move along an L-shaped shower curtain track that connects to the ceiling.
That way, you can simply slide the curtain along, without ever worrying about it falling down. You can either fasten an L-shaped shower curtain track
right to the ceiling, or you can connect it to a recessed mount, so that you can't even see it.
If you have a very tall ceiling - one that's too tall for even a low-hanging ceiling mount - you can use
wall mounts. Most L-shaped shower curtain rods come with rectangular flanges that connect to the rod and screw right into the wall.
How can they help you?
L-shaped shower curtain rods can add a unique flair to
your bathroom. Because of their distinct shape, they can allow you to take advantage of all kinds of design ideas - without worrying about something
as trivial as how your shower curtain is going to fit into the mix.
Plus, L-shaped shower curtain rods come in a variety of finishes. With options from silver, to brass, to
bronze, to chrome, it is easy to fit them into any decor. Or, you can find L-shaped rods in a virtual rainbow of different colors. No matter what
kind of "vibe" you're trying to give off in your bathroom, you can find a shower curtain rod that works.
As an added benefit, these L-shaped rods are just as durable as their traditional counterparts. When
fastened correctly to either your wall or ceiling, you can count on these rods to last for years and years.
And, luckily, you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for L-shaped shower curtain rods. Yes, they will cost
you more than the average, straight-line rod - and they will not be available at as many different stores. However, they don't cost too much more
than their traditional counterparts.
