Customer Review: Great product to make extra space in your tub
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been to many hotels that now incorporate the "bowed" shower rod in their baths. I enjoy the extra space and feel of luxury they give.
There is the typical round rod design that many use and at a couple of them, they used the ARC rod.
I was nearly sure I wanted the round type, due to the ARC being "insubstantial" and wobbly at one hotel in which I stayed.
When I got down to placing the order however, I switched my mind for a couple reasons. Firstly, I realized the abuse that the hotel items are subject to. Little ones dangling off the curtains, guys probably trying to do chin ups off them. All the idiocy that people do when something isn't their own.
The other factor that led me to the ARC is installation. With the round type of curtain rod you need to trim off of both ends to ensure the 'curve' is properly placed, should you need to shorten the rod. With the ARC, if you need to shorten it (for a shorter tub or to reduce the amount of "bow" extending into your bathroom) one only needs to trim one end. It seems like a small point, but one I considered.
The item arrived while I was at my mothers and I quickly installed it. NOTE: If you have ceramic tiles or similar type materials you'll need to pick up a masonry drill bit. Installation was quick (give yourself 1/2 hr or so) It is VERY solid and I believe the hookless shower curtains operate more smoothly than on the typical round design bar. If only I owned instead of rented, I'd have an ARC shower rod in my place in a heartbeat!
