Need help re: height to hang shower curtain rod
Comments (3)The height of a shower rod relative to the position of a tub is largely a matter of use and desired effect. Some shower curtains extend almost entirely to the floor while others drop just below the rim of an attractive claw foot tub. What is certain is the shower curtain liner needs to hang down into the tub below its rim so water does not splash onto the floor. Hanging a Shower Rod Shower curtains are commonly 6 feet in length from top to bottom. They are made longer as well. For custom bathtub designs, their length can vary greatly. If you are installing the shower rod anew and need to know where to hang it, the first thing to do is measure the length of the liner. If it is 6 feet long, figure that it should hang below the rim of the tub at least 5 inches. That means the rod should be placed 5 feet 7 inches from the top of the tub. However, consider the difference between the rod placement and where the liner attaches to the curtain rings. If the liner dangles 2 inches below the rod, you can add that to the height of the rod, placing it 5 feet 9 inches above the tub. The curtain also requires some consideration. It should not drag along the floor; rather, it should be at least 2 inches above it when hanging. If you want to showcase a claw foot tub, hang the curtain just a few inches below the rim of the tub.

Comments (11)I have had the same situation in one home, reluctant to drill into the doors but, it had to be done so I put some nice rods on them. In the last place we built I had no neighbors behind me for miles and I didnt need blinds or curtains in the public rooms so they were left alone so we could see the beautiful old oaks. If not for that I wouldnt have hesitated to install sheers again. If you need privacy and want curtains you will have to drill holes, just get some nice rods that will compliment the decor. I have installed the small orb toned rods and it looked really nice bc the door handles were the same. Your other option is to hang curtains over the door and extend to just past the door so they are mounted to the wall and pull over the doors for privacy, but thats a pain when you need to get to the door you need to pull the curtains away. Or you could frost the glass for privacy but installing rods for permanent sheers is a better option, top and bottom rods, and theres some beautiful ones out there. I think you will have to bite the bullet and drill if the magnetic rods wont work. The rods if chosen to your liking can compliment the doors and curtains or some can be covered by the curtain so they are not even visible. Heres some pics of styles of curtains on a site I saved because we may be replacing a window with a french door in a bedroom.

Comments (10)I think the spiral thing would go inside the end of the small diameter piece where you'd join to two together. Put it halfway in there, and then see if you can slide the larger diameter rod over the spiral part that remains sticking out of the other rod part. I have some decorative rod ends that attach like that....See Morenune
