What are cornices for?

Someone does not have enough financial opportunities to purchase the necessary equipment, for someone the design is unacceptable or the size of the room does not allow.

How to choose the right cornice for your home

Rods are different, some are suitable for one room, but will be useless for another. We will determine what you should pay attention to so as not to make a mistake when choosing the right product. To do this, consider a few important points that are worth considering:

• the first step is to calculate the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room in order to understand what form factor is needed, angular or straight;
• plan the location of the bath, sink, shower tray;
• it is important to determine what material the walls and ceiling are made of, this will facilitate the installation of the crossbar;
• choose your favorite design, color.

Having determined the criteria necessary for choosing cornices, let's deal with their types.

Bath rod types

There are budget models made of plastic with a telescopic design, expensive stainless steel brands, made to order. Consider the most popular:

• crossbar

The classic, most common version of the product is the usual crossbar. It is mounted on opposite walls in a spacer, without drilling, or with the help of self-tapping screws. Such a kit has long established itself as the simplest, most reliable option.

Curtains fixed on the rod can be conveniently moved along the entire length of the product, in both directions. The big advantage of the kit is its shape, in fact - a straight stick, which is easy to mount, does not require a high level of training when attaching it.

If you do not want to bother with a long, tedious installation, you can purchase a curtain rod with a telescopic design. The built-in spring allows you to change the length of the holder, so it is difficult to make a mistake with the dimensions. This model is suitable for walls made of tiles, plastic panels, bricks, concrete.

The crossbar can be made of a metal profile, plastic, wooden blanks. This variety makes the direct cornice the most advantageous for installation in the bathroom.

The disadvantage of the telescopic design is the small weight of the curtain, which can be fixed on it.

• corner cornice

Despite the popularity of direct models, corner options are considered quite popular. They are not mounted on parallel walls, but on adjoining ones, blocking off a place for bathing and taking a shower.

Unlike the installation of the above design, the angular one requires some skill. It will not work to fix the product by surprise, so you will have to use self-tapping screws or dowels, some models are additionally screwed to the ceiling for greater rigidity.

Such rods, along with "G", "P" shaped configuration, in principle, with the help of special connections, you can assemble a structure of various shapes.There are holders for curtains made of duralumin, bending in any direction.

The geometry of the corner holders for curtains can be arcuate or semicircular, which is very useful for acrylic baths, which have all sorts of bends.

• Oval and round cornices

Not so often there are radius structures that have a round or oval shape. Manufacturers of such collections make their products, as a rule, individually, to order.

The set is mounted to the ceiling with the help of holders, while the bathtub is usually located in the center of the room. If you have a fragile material upstairs, it is worth planning the installation of the rod in advance, securing it to a reliable, dense surface.

From the above review, it can be understood that there are a great many types of rods for curtains in the bathroom, therefore, before purchasing a product, it is important to plan the location of all equipment inside the room, to understand what the walls and ceiling will be finished from. Only then can you start choosing a cornice. This sequence of actions will facilitate the installation and further use of the bathroom.
