When renovating or updating a bathroom, it’s easy to focus on finding the perfect tiles and big-ticket items such as vanities, bathtubs, and toilets. However, a simple shower head can make or break your whole showering experience so it’s important to get it right. Like most bathroom fittings, there is a wide variety of shower heads available from basic, budget-friendly options to fixtures that provide a relaxing and luxurious experience. You will need a licenced plumber to do the installation.
For fast and affordable leaking shower repair, Perth homeowners rely on My Shower. Using world-class Epoxy products, we can bring a tired old shower back to life easily and mess-free. If you want to further revitalise your shower, installing a new shower head is an easy way to do it. Here’s a few helpful hints to help you select the perfect shower head for your bathroom.
Determine Who Will Use the Shower Most
Is the shower in a family bathroom? A guest bathroom or master ensuite? For a shower that is seldom used, such as in a guest bathroom, a regular wall-mounted shower head will do the job. For a family bathroom you should consider a handheld shower fitting to assist in showering young children, washing hair, and ease of cleaning. To make showering easy for the whole family, a height adjustable shower is the ideal choice– you could choose a handset on a rail, a shower head on a height-adjustable arm or a combination set which features both a wall-mounted and hand-held head.
Consider All the Options
A visit to you local plumbing supply centre will reveal that showers have come a long way in recent years. The main types include:
Wall-mount– simple and cost-effective, a wall-mounted shower head is an ideal way to modernise and freshen up a shower without breaking the bank. Available in a wide range of colours, styles, and sizes, you will be sure to find one that suits your bathroom and your budget.
Hand-held – with additional reach and control, a hand-held shower head is mounted to the wall and can be simple or packed with features depending on your budget and requirements. Ideal for washing hair, bathing kids, and showering the elderly, there is a vast array of hand-held showers available in a huge range of classic and contemporary colours, finishes, and designs, and some can be mounted to sliding bars allowing for the height to be adjusted.
Ceiling-mounted – otherwise known as rain showers or top-mounted shower heads, these grand and luxurious fittings are positioned on the ceiling directly overhead for a fully immersed experience. The on-trend choice for current bathroom design, these can be suspended from the ceiling or mounted flush, and you can choose from a single spray shower head or extravagant models with adjustable nozzles and LED lighting.
Twin shower heads – combining a traditional shower head with head-hand showers, these provide flexibility and versatility. Functional yet fashionable, twin showers ensure a comfortable and enjoyable bathing experience for everyone.
Choose Professional Installation
While it is often a simple task to change or install a new shower head, opting to DIY isn’t always the best choice. If not installed properly, your shower head can leak and result in expensive water bills, mould and even damage to surrounding structures if the leak goes undetected.
