How do I install a shower curtain rod between the wall tile and a wall of glass? Shower in question is a bathtub. The showerhead and wall tiles on the left side and a wall of five feet on the right side. We would like to install the glass on top of the wall, then run a shower curtain support the vertical metal wall ceramic. Have you all seen such a thing? Is it feasible for a few hundred dollars?
I can not quite the image you intend to do, but if you want to install a shower rod curtian I would suggest a spring tension rod because it will not harm and can be installed in virtually no does it matter what space or surface as long as flat.
I use a rod expanding. You put up one end and then turn to extend and essentially trapped in place. This works very well, does not fall or anything. No holes to drill, etc. The gym where I train also uses this type of rod.
If the tension bar will not work, there are other options.
One solution would be to use the adhesive. You can try to find an epoxy resin which adheres to glass and tile. The glue that hold the mirror to the windshield of your car might work.
Another method would be to break the tile and glass and the pin bolt up this way. There should be some caution, but the tiles and glass can be drilled with carbide bits.
Another way would be to suspend the rod on hangers from the ceiling, walls independent. I do not know if you look acceptable in the bath.
Try an extension spring shower rod. You can also use a special tile / glass drill bit to drill holes for the screws, then using sockets in the holes to hold them. Then you can screw the curtain goes up on the walls.
it is not necessary to modify a job installing tile devices like a shower rod.
there are very strong tension bars (like a roll of TP, but much stronger) ends with rubber (rubber feet, as on a stool) who hold fast to the wall, but do not affect the tile all for sale. I had one in my bathroom last, and it never fell or moved. it was an inch in diameter and air clean and tidy and very stable with rings and a curtain.
If you drill holes (a book about how tiles can give you step by step), you may break the tile, or allow moisture to seep behind the tiles. screws may loosen over time, rendering the bar thing, you (or someone else) may be necessary to replace in time.
but for any kind of problem do you even see the website below
Carefully
Well, as you said, tension rods may apply too much pressure. Although I can not exactly the image you are trying to do - I have a sense. And I know I've never seen anything like it.
So funny, not a joke - only today that I was looking for a custom shower curtain rod for a customer. Try Myson:

I would say that perhaps a straight length of the rod - one end attached to your tile (as is your wall plumbing also less splashing) and the other end is not attached to the glass but using a living roof (attaches the rail to the ceiling).
Hope this helps!
Why not try to install a glass enclosure (sliding glass doors)? Could be better with your glass wall anyway.
If you install glass blocks, then the pressure of a tension bar should not really affect it.
