I recently renovated my bathroom, and the new porcelain tile extends a few inches beyond the tub. I want to install a curved shower rod in this area, but I'd prefer not to drill into the porcelain tile. I'm curious if there are solid curved tension rods available that might work, or if I could use some kind of adhesive on a regular screw-in shower rod for mounting. If that's a possibility, I'd love any recommendations for adhesives or tips on what to watch out for during this process!

If you change your mind about drilling, there are special drill bits made specifically for porcelain tile, available at places like Home Depot. They’re great because they make the process much easier and help avoid cracks. Just remember to use a proper drill and let the bit do the work—no need to press too hard!
Curved tension rods are definitely a thing! While they might not be super common, you should be able to find some at local hardware stores or online. Just make sure it's sturdy enough to handle the forces you'll be putting on it. It might take a little searching, but they’re out there!
That's really good to know! Just to clarify, do you recommend drilling pilot holes and using screws that reach into the drywall? I'm super worried about cracking the tile after having issues during the installation.
