Does your curved tension shower rod stay up? Or should I drill?

4 years ago

We are going back and forth about whether to drill into our new tile to put up a permanent mount shower rod or try a tension rod. I would like to use a curved rod. I'm looking at either the Moen curved tension shower rod or the Kohler permanent mount curved rod.

This is for a children's bathroom so I am worried that they'll be likely to tug on the curtain and pull it down, simply from the angle they'll be pulling. Has anyone used this Moen tension rod? Does it stay up through kids, extra towels over it, etc.?


My hesitancy in putting up the permanent mount is that we have to drill into the tile and I'm concerned that even the expensive Kohler shower rod will rust over time. Replacing it might be difficult if the screws don't fit the same way. Or am I overthinking this?
