Tension curtain rods are one of those great design innovations that have made decorating easier for both the professional and home do-it-yourself enthusiast. They are extremely easy to install. Best used with shorter curtains, these rods work perfectly for rooms with limited window frame space and where drilling holes is difficult due to metal hurricane bracing and steel frames.
Tension rods are made with a spring in the center of the rod which, when secured into place, forces tension on both sides of the rod, forcing it outward. The end caps are made of rubber, to diminish marking walls and window frames when used.
