How To Install A Shower Rod On Tile

Drilling into freshly laid tile is a little bit scary, even for seasoned DIYers like usa. In fact, final twelvemonth later on we finished the girls' bathroom, nosotros idea we'd featherbed the whole projection and just put a tension shower rod up and call it good. Fast frontwards and every two weeks since finishing, we were dealing with a rod that would come up crashing down! Eventually we decided, a shower pall is always going to live there–might also get in permanent. Hither's how we did it!

Nosotros bought this Moen Shower curtain rod (in chrome) for about $20 and you purchase the flanges separate (here) for about $7. $27 total is a steal for the minimalist and slightly utilitarian design.

ane. Find the correct height.
We had purchased this extra long shower drapery from Restoration Hardware, then the kickoff thing we did was hold the pall up to marker an appropriate top. Since it's a bath, we opted to hang it well-nigh three″ from the ground.

2. Mark and drill the holes.

Drilling through tile is a bit tricky. Chris uses a hammer drill with a masonry bit. Some have said they would worry that the hammer action is too ambitious, but Chris promises he has found the contrary to be truthful. The drill does almost of the work so you stop up pushing on the drill with a lot less force. Do what yous feel comfortable with, but I've never had a tile flake on me when using a hammer drill to brand holes (and I've done it a lot).

iii. Measure the space and cut the rod.
If you have a standard 60in tub, your rod volition probable be a bit too long. Mensurate the infinite, marking the bar and cutting it using a metal-cutting blade on a miter saw or angle grinder.

four. Mount the finish supports and hang the bar.
Mount one end support first, sideslip the bar into that side, slide the other bracket onto the opposite terminate, and so heighten the bar into place and mount the second support.

This was i of those tasks that was hanging over us, and but took nigh xxx minutes to execute once we got the rod in! And now it'southward non going anywhere which gives us a lot of peace of listen when it comes to our girls bathing in here. Hopefully this gives you some confidence to do something similar in your abode!
