Different showers require different curtain rod fixtures. If you have a curved shower, then curved tension shower curtain rods are a good option, as they’ll prevent water from escaping the stall as you shower.

Another good way to keep your floors dry is through installing a double shower curtain tension rod. You can hang a shower liner and a shower curtain, providing two barriers against potential leaks. Let’s check out some of our favorite shower curtain rods to find the right one for you.
