Q. What is a wooden curtain rod?

Wooden curtains are typically hung from a rod or rail above a window or along the edge of a shower or bathtub but rods can be installed anywhere wooden curtains are needed. Telescoping and self-mounting curtain rods are common in bathrooms but rods in other rooms of the house are typically attached using ornate brackets or finials. Bay windows require a specialized pole or several straight and corner bends joined together to form the correct shape. Rods for holding back drapes can be fashioned from a variety of materials including wood metal and plastic. Wooden curtain rods can be found in a wide variety of designs and styles. Wooden curtain rods don't have to be boring straight poles; several manufacturers offer curved and hinged poles that may be adapted to fit in bay windows and around angled walls and corners.
