Frequently Asked Questions
What does turning the corner achieve?
Continuous support through a turn.
Two straight bars leave a gap there.
At the junction of the two walls.
Which is where the body is rotating.
And least stable.
Why is it structurally stronger?
Because it resists load in two planes.
A pull levering one leg from its wall.
Is resisted directly by the other leg.
Two walls acting together.
Often beat one good wall alone.
Does that help in a difficult cubicle?
Considerably, and it is underused.
Neither shower wall may fix well.
Two mediocre ones together can.
Provided both offer something.
Establish each of them separately.
What if one wall is plasterboard?
Then the bar is only as strong as that.
Two-wall fixing helps if both hold.
One good leg and one poor one.
Fails at the poor one.
Which is where the load goes.
Does the corner need to be square?
Yes, and tiled corners often are not.
A degree or two out is common.
A rigid bar then sits proud on one wall.
Or is forced into a stressed fit.
Which loads its fixings permanently.
What if the corner is out of square?
Use an adjustable-angle version.
They exist for exactly this.
And cost only a little more.
Worth it on an existing corner.
Check the corner before ordering.
Where else does it suit?
Any corner somebody turns in.
A corner shower is the common case.
So is a WC in a corner position.
Or a bath meeting two walls.
Wherever the hand would otherwise let go.
