Does installation for this shower rod involve drilling into the tile or wall of the shower?

The directions say 60" above edge of tub and and you offset I think about 3" to the outside of tub. So whatever material you have there you will need to drill into to anchor it.

I used 2 feet shower rod from the ceiling (for my 9 foot ceiling). Its available on amazon.

I usually install the slide bar about 6 to 8 inches below the shower head to the left or right of the center. Put the unit together put a pencil mark on the shower wall where the top of the unit drill a hole in the center ,if you don`t find a stud when you drill it use the plastic sleeve that comes with the unit .Secure the top screw in the unit now put a level on the unit to make sure it is level . Mark the bottom flange for the screw on the wall before you drill when tight put the finish cap on each end .I hope you understand my directions and hope this was helpful. Andy C

Yes, we had to take down the curtain rod to install the shower curtain. You could get a tension rod & install it in front of the permanent rod if you wish.

There are no screws or holes required. There is a spring inside the rod, and you turn the rod to make it push out against the walls. The rod isn't made to hold a lot of weight, but does fine with shower curtain. I don't know how many towels I would drape over it though.

The rod is held in place at a distance you choose. So if you already had holes in the wall from your old shower bar this will work just great. You are going to love this unit. It is extremely well made.

The rod is installed using screws into the wall. So if you think you can screw through the plastic and into the wall, it should be fine. You may want to get longer screws just in case if the plastic is thick.

It attaches to the rings or hooks on your shower curtain so you wont have to remove the rod. It will take about a minute to install. It's really easy. I love this thing.

No. It screws onto the shower in place of the shower head it is replacing. Your existing shower arm probably already has a flange against the wall.

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

You have to install 2x4 wall and a 4" step for the entry area to set the parameter of the shoswer base, if you have the room, i like to set a 3x5 area for the base. apply thinset or level concrete to level the concrete inside the base area. You must have a shower drain to be install inside the shower area. Then apply a rubber membrane inside the shower area, and at least 4" higher than the floor, apply thinset again to pitch the entire shower area toward the shower drain. Once the thinset is dry, you can apply apply tile to the floor and the wall.

Yes, it has a thinner part that fits inside the main part, but the bump is subtle. The rod is nice and does expand shower space. Be careful attaching the ends. Also, if you're going to drill into tile, I suggest you watch some You Tube videos on the subject to avoid damaging tile. Its not hard either if you have the right tools. This is a good rod for the money.

I am not sure if you are calling the input (the threaded side that threads into the wall)the bottom then yes that would be the best way to install it. The output( where the shower head is installed) should be at top center

My handyman attached this grab bar to the interior of my shower by securing it to the existing studs using the hardware that came with it. He had to go through the closet in my bedroom, but he repaired that wall and the grab bar is as sturdy as can be. Hope this helps.

Sure, Jennifer, but why would u want to drill holes in your shower?? I have purchased three of these dispensers. They are mounted with a silicone adhesive so I remove them from the wall pretty easily. The silicone just peels off of the wall. I have done this on a tile shower, a plastic/fiberglass surround, & a cultured marble shower with no marks left. If you drill into the wall, you also risk water getting into the wall and causing problems.

EZ to do yourself if you've got another body to help position it for installation. in a window it is straight forward, if you need to cut a hole in the wall that is another matter. Any handyman should be able to help with the install if you don't want to do it... nice unit.

Mounting the brackets into studs is always preferable, but not always possible. In my bathroom, the bracket on one end of the shower rod is mounted into a stud behind the drywall; the other end isn't. But I used very good mounting anchors-plastic anchors with a wide "flair," not the less effective ones provided with the rod-to secure that end. So far (after three months), it remains solidly mounted.
