A one-inch diameter curtain rod is a standard measurement. The size works great with most curtain fabrics including heavy ones. Rods also come complete with the brackets and screws necessary for installation.

It is important to consider the diameter of the curtain rod and the corresponding brackets during rod installation to avoid problems later. There are a variety of stylish curtain accessories to choose from and we’ve made it easy by selecting the best curtain rod picks that won’t keep you hanging.
