Shower Curtain Rods - Temporary Or Permanent
During most bathroom fix up projects you get to the point where you need to think about shower curtain rods. When you have measured to find the correct size and are ready to go shopping you will have a few options. Your first choice will be what type of rod that you want either permanent or temporary. Which ever you choose there will be advantages and disadvantages to both.
The temporary curtain rods usually consist of a spring loaded telescoping rod. You mount them by compressing the rod by hand, put them in place and the spring pressure holds the rod in place, if you have measured correctly. They also have a rubber or plastic cap on each end of the rod to keep from marring up the surface. These types of rods are good for short term use as long as your curtains are not too heavy, and they don't get tugged on. They are also ideal when you are renting and don't want to damage the area where they are mounted. One of the draw backs to temporary rods are that a lot of times the curtains don't slide smoothly when you open them due to the fact that they usually have a step in the size of the rods where they slide together.
On the other hand permanent curtain rods are just that, permanent. They are usually mounted by driving in screws where you want then located. And if you don't get them where you want you have screw holes to deal with if you try to move them or want them taken down. They usually consist of a hollow rod or tube which has to be cut to the right length and then it is mounted on both ends with mounting brackets. These type of rods are usually much sturdier than the temporary rods, so you don't have to worry about how heavy the curtains are, or any thing else that you hang there.
Which ever curtain rod that you choose will depend a lot on your situation. If you are a renter you may want to go with the temporary rods just because they are easier to put in and take down. If you are a home owner or a long term renter you may want the more permanent rods just for their durability.
