ARC Shower Bar

ARC Shower Bar - Bath Time at BloglanderYou might think something as simple as a cuved shower bar isn’t anything to get excited about. True, it’s just a piece of metal. But after staying at a few hotels who incorporated this into the shower-tub, I began to get interested in it. Homeowners with tiny bathrooms will know what I’m talking about - haivng the extra space (30 percent more elbow room, or so they claim) can make a huge difference. It also helps to prevent leakage you get from glass sliding doors and from standard shower bars.

This wasn’t the first shower curved shower rod I’ve seen, but one of the most interesting because it’s made out of aircraft aluminum and looks sort of “unfinished” unlike some of the other fancy shower bars that are polished steel or something (I think you can also get it in chrome). It is also not “round” unlike most other ones.

The curved bar is 60 inches long and contains mounting brackets on either side. As I read in one review, the good thing about having a non-”round” bar is that if you need to trim it, you only have to trim ONE side in order to get it to fit. For a round bar, to make the angle correct you’d have to trim both sides. Also, I believe that it may work better with hookless shower curtains than a round bar. I’ll have to investigate this further before making a decision buying it.
