A curtain rod, rail, pole, or traverse rod is a device designed to hang curtains, usually positioned above windows, but can be used wherever curtains are needed. In bathrooms, curtain rods are often telescopic and self-fixing, while in other parts of the home, they are typically mounted with decorative brackets or finials. For bay windows, curtain poles can be custom-made by joining straight rods with corner bends to match the window's unique shape.
