A great shower experience starts with the right bathroom fixtures. If you are looking to improve the functionality of the entire space, you’d want to choose the best showerhead that best fits your needs. Here’s what you need to consider:
Showerhead Types
The first step in selecting the perfect showerhead is knowing what’s available in the market. There are numerous ways to customize your shower space, but showerheads usually come in these types:
- Standard Wall-Mount Showerhead
This is an ideal choice if you want a simple upgrade of your shower. It usually works with existing plumbing and can have additional features like adjustable nozzles. - Handheld Showerhead
This type of showerhead is connected to a wall by a flexible hose or tube measuring three to six feet in length. The head hangs on a fixed-mount bracket that you can install high or low on the wall depending on your needs. - Top-Mount Showerhead
This type of showerhead doesn’t hang on a wall. Instead, it is installed right above the bather’s head. It can either be suspended from a pendant or mounted flush to the ceiling. Contractors may recommend this showerhead if your bathroom has a low ceiling.
Showerhead Materials and Finishes
Materials most commonly used in showerheads include metal, solid brass or plastic with a chrome or colored finish. Standard and handheld showerheads come in different finishes to complement the other bathroom fixtures like hardware, faucets and plumbing. These include white, off-white, brushed or polished chrome or nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, polished or antique brass, and copper.
Energy Savings
Federal government standards dictate that showerheads must have a water flow rate that is greater than 2.5 gallons per minute at a standard pressure of 80 pounds per square inch. If you want to save on water while you take a shower, choose a low-flow showerhead that uses less water than the regular model. Be sure to look for the WaterSense label on such a product.
