Owing to this cost of curved shower curtain rod is more than its straight counterpart.

Curved Shower Curtain Rod Material
Curved shower curtain rods are available in assortment of material and colors like plastic, metal, pvc etc. But the one made in metal and has chrome or double-chrome coating is the best. With this peeling of rod does not happen which increases the life of the rod. Plastic rods need be checked for their toughness for durability.

Also there are curved shower curtain rod made from bronze, brushed nickle, oil rubbed bronze and brass. Oil rubbed bronze curved rods are more durable among these and so more expensive.
