Shower Heads
To get that optimum showering experience, a good shower head is a necessity. The function of a shower head is to spray water either in an enclosed shower cubicle or by using a hose attached to taps in a bath. This is made possible by the water pressure.
Types of Shower Heads
The most common type is the single spray which is an easy to function shower head and provides a single spray pattern with reasonable pressure. They are a simple yet affordable option.
A rain shower head supplies water directly above you and enables an enjoyable showering experience due to its square design and the lighter water pressure.
Handheld systems are a great solution for people who hate to move around while showering. The slimline swivel handset is attached to a hose mounted to a bracket on the wall and is fully adjustable.
If you're renovating your bathroom consider installing a body spray shower head. Although expensive, the shower outlets are wall-mounted parallel to the adjacent walls allowing for a more invigorating shower.
Concealed ceiling mounted shower heads are fixed in the ceiling providing an even flow of water, however it does require special plumbing.
