Tools and Hardware Reviews of The ARC Curved Shower Bar, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Great Shower Rod
Summary: 5 Stars
After visiting several hotels and noticing the space inside the showers of those using the ARC shower rod, I decided to try one for our home. It gave us the extra space and we love it! It was very easy to install. I actually didn't like the placement of where I had it the first time and took it all down and started over. I had it completed in about 45 minutes. I would recommend it.Customer Review: Great look & added shower room!
Summary: 5 Stars
We recently remodeled the main bath and added a shower over the tub. We LOVE the ARC Shower bar! It looks great and those extra inches of elbow room are absolutely wonderful! Not sure how we ever used the conventional rods in past years. I recommend the new curved rods to everyone! And the ARC shower bar is thin and flat instead of round which we felt was more streamline looking. Was easy to install.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!
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
When combined with a hookless shower curtain, this really modernized my bathroom. I have much more room in the shower & it's nice to be able to see out. Easy to install & the curtain glides across the bar!Customer Review: Great shower rod..... outside the box solution.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the appearance of this shower rod. Installation was very simple, and clear instructions were provided, despite what one of the other reviewers pointed out. I would say that I would recommend making sure that you are screwing it into studs or wood blocking, as supporting it with drywall anchors may not be a good long term solution.
