How To Choose The Right Shower Head?
As we all know that bathrooms are an essential part of every home and every fixture and accessory hold its importance. One such important fixture in modern bathrooms is showerheads. As insignificant as these fixtures might seem, they hold great importance in enhancing the overall bathroom experience of a house owner.
Showers are purchased based on the floor space and the types required for the bathroom. Hand showers or head showers are both in use with fixtures and positions.
Types of Shower Heads
- Wall Mounted Single-Head: These heads are bowl-shaped and are usually attached directly to the elbow. The simplicity and flexibility offered by these heads are their biggest selling point.
- Handheld Shower Heads: The shower elbow is attached to these showerheads, and it detaches from the wall holder which makes them handheld and easy to use. Some of these shower heads can be both traditional heads, as well as hand-held showers for convenient use.
- Ceiling Heads: These heads are the most found showerheads in bathrooms. These attach to the shower elbow in L or P shape and are placed right above the showering area.
Things To Consider While Choosing The Right Shower Head
- Spray Patterns: Commonly found spray patterns include rain, rinse, champagne, power, massage, or the combination of two of them. Out of them, a single spray shower option may be the basic option that will be the most cost-effective. The variety of patterns provided to the consumers offers them a gentle and comforting experience for an overwhelming bathing pleasure. One of the most luxurious patterns is the mixture of these two integrated with an electric motor which is fixed with led lighting to give a sensational experience mixed with ambiance lighting.
- Water Pressure: Water pressure also plays a crucial role in deciding the comfort provided by showerheads. Most consumers prefer high water pressure but on the other hand, low water pressure has its benefits to it. Low-water pressure helps consumers to save on water bills and excessive water wastage can also be curtailed by using such shower heads. Though high-pressure heads give more satisfaction to the consumers they also offer value for money and in some cases are more durable than its opponent. Both pressure and nozzles differ based on the sizes of the products.
- Luxury or Regular Alternatives: While choosing the right shower heads for your need a factor that is essential to be considered is whether you need them for luxury or to cater to your minimum needs and offer the maximum value for money. It is entirely your decision to choose between the two. There are luxury shower head options available with pores for water spray from all around the washroom to give you a heavenly feeling, but these heads will cost you a fortune.
Conclusion
Which type of showerhead is appropriate for your needs depends entirely upon your need, budget, and various other factors. Some fixtures may be extremely apt as per your need, but the quality of water supplied in your area may not support them in long term.
For example, places that are supplied with extremely low temperatures or salty water may not be appropriate for extremely luxury fixtures or showerheads as they might deteriorate over time and replacing them every other season may not be the most sensible option. That is why it is advised to consider all the factors before making up your decision and choosing the shower head for your bathroom.
