When it comes to bathroom remodeling, nothing is as important as a high-quality shower head. Taking a shower is something we do on a daily basis—sometimes even twice a day! Making your shower the most enjoyable experience means you need to start with quality products with good water pressure, a serene experience, and something that leaves you clean, refreshed, and ready to start your day. When you begin your search for the best quality shower heads, it can be quite overwhelming. There are many different varieties on the market.
The type of shower head you choose will greatly influence your shower’s performance. It defines the level of comfort of the whole shower, the efficiency with which the water is dispersing from the nozzles, and the water pressure (despite what the flow of your bathroom plumbing may be). When you are deciding on the best showerhead for you, there are several considerations you will want to think about including:
- How much pressure you want
- The height of the shower heads, including adjustability if there are multiple people using the bathroom
- Extra features such as LED lighting, waterfall or rainfall effect, massage, etc.
- The strength of water stream you like
- The design of the overall shower/tub
Fixed shower heads are mounted to a point on a wall or ceiling above your head.
Hand-held shower heads are attached via a hose, and can either be mounted on a holder or held in the hand.
A very popular trend in today’s market is shower heads with special features such as LED lighting and the Waterfall/RainShower effect. Not only do they look unique and cool, but they can offer a high-end showering experience as well. The LED lights often indicate the temperature of the water, meaning that you could have a warning before you step into the shower if it is too hot or too cold. The waterfall or rainshower effect disperses the water more evenly so you can have a more throughout washing.
