Curtain Rods
Curtains after the inventions were proven to be very effective in dividing any area into parts but the problem of hanging them gave rise to the invention of curtain rods by Samuel R. Scrottronthe in 1892.
The curtain rods are essential to hanging curtains which are an inseparable part of home décor.
Uses
Curtain rods, also called curtain rails are used to hang curtains over the windows, bathtubs, doors or inside the room for room partitioning.
Curtain rods were initially used without rings. Curtains with loops of same cloth around the rod were used, though these are still in use but a more convenient way was to use rings is to have a little large diameter than the rod just to make the movement of curtains on the rod more convenient and fast. These rings proved to be complementary to curtain rods and were accepted widely by people.
Variety
Curtain rods can be made using many materials including wood, metal or plastic.
It is not that these rods are always simple straight poles but these come in endless designs suiting the decor of the place where they are to be fitted.
