A. Many shower curtain rods that require support rods which attach to either the ceiling or wall, will have a "break" in the movement of the shower curtain because curtain hooks cannot move around the support rod. This may require the user to affix the curtain hooks in a way that allows them to open the shower curtain part way. If you would like to be able to open or move your shower curtain freely and completely then the best option would be to install a wall mounted ceiling supported L-track rod system. The L-track rod shower curtain system mounts directly to the wall and the celing support rod is attached above the track, therefore there is no interruption of the curtain rod movement.
