Is this not a tension rod? I don't want to drill holes in my tile.

Hello Lucy, it is NOT a tension rod, you will need to drill holes. But it is a very nice rod.

No, it is not a tension rod. It does require drilling, so you will not want to purchase this particular rod.

This is not a tension rod, and we have tile too! I ended up returning it anyway....not the best quality. :0)

No, it is not a tension rod, though it is adjustable. You will have to drill holes in the walls.

Mine is mounted on drywall using drywall anchors. Also, I have two cloth shower curtains on the rod and there is no strain at all. Hope this helps.

It is truly a tension rod yes. You are able to screw a pice to tighten it. We just had all marble put in and I didn't want screw anything in. Make sure the little pads are on the ends so wall is protected. It works great sturdy

Can this be mounted to a tile/granite wall? Without screws? What would I use?

My shower is tiled and have not had any problems. It's like a tension rod so maybe check the tension on it.

This is a tension rod, but because of the rubber pads and well thought out design, slippage is almost non-existent. We've been using it for months now with no problems.

The unit itself is not heavy and probably won't pull down a tension placed shower rod. However when you place clothes on the unit then the weight of the clothes will probably pull the tension rod down.

Its screw in. I don't think you'll find a tension mount in a curved design.

It's not attached to the ceiling and doesn't need to be screwed into the floor. The easiest way to explain it is to think of a shower curtain rod. Tension on both ends holds it in place.

No drilling required. It's a tension rod and stays up very well on its own.

I'm going to guess yes because I just took mine down to move and there is a circular ring from the rubber where my pole was even though my ceiling was smooth..It depends on what kind of texture you are talking about too because remember,that pole is going to be tight to your ceiling under a stud so your choices of a mounting spot are limited to that as well.You definatly want it to be tight and level most of all for safety.Definatly leveling is important.

Tension rods really aren't designed to be used in the way you're suggesting; they aren't strong enough to hold much. This is a very good rod, and does what it is designed to do -- hold a shower curtain and a liner. Perhaps you should look instead for an "inside clothesline" -- which Amazon does carry. Best wishes!

I had this same problem and I ended up not mounting on the tile. I have ceramic tile so the probability of the tile breaking when screwed in is higher. I went above the tile and into the drywall. This obviously means you need a longer curtain instead of standard length, but there are lots of options out there for extra long curtains.

This is mounted shower bar and does nor have a tension/spring. The bar has a 1/2" screw tightening end cap that allows it to be secured. I would measure the distance between the shower walls, subtract 1/4", cut the bar, if necessary, with an inexpensive ($7.00-$8.00) pipe cutter and then twist the end cap to secure. This is a quality product from Moen, I don't think you will be disappointed.

The unit itself is not heavy. If you are hanging lingerie or socks, it should not pull down a tension rod.

It is a latch type of gate where you will need to screw eye hooks into your walls. This is not a tension based gate.

Yes - it has something like an internal spring - and it always "pushes out" and that is what holds it up. The ends have something like "rubberized" caps that keep it from slipping on the tile. This is a classic design that is commonly used unless you actually want to screw the rod into the walls. It is adjustable in length by "turning the two ends". It's simple once you see it. I have used rods like this for decades in the shower and smaller, decorative ones for windows (if you put the drape inside the framing). Works well. Hope this answer helps
