You're in the right place! In just a few minutes, you'll learn about the 4 different types of shower heads, their Pros and Cons and be empowered to make the best buying decision.
A fixed shower head, or wall mount shower head, is what most people have in their home.
This shower head option is typically smaller in size with a diameter of 5" or less.
It's a great option for those of you who don't need all the bells and whistles but instead are looking for something simple with solid water pressure.
If you want to get a little bit fancier, you can look for a multi-function fixed shower head which allows you to change the spray patterns. These usually range from a very concentrated massage setting to a more gentle wide spray setting.
One of the most versatile shower heads available, hand held shower heads provide the perfect combination of functionality and performance.
Typically handheld showerheads have a smaller diameter face, around about 4 inches, which offers a great balance of pressure and coverage.
With its flexible hose, you can easily detach the shower head and rinse your hair, bathe your kids, clean your shower or even shampoo your dog!
For those looking for a spa-like shower experience, the rainshower is king!
With its large diameter, typically 6 inches and more, rainfall shower heads absolutely immerse you in rain-like droplets that are both soothing and refreshing.
You can install it on a standard wall mount shower arm, an overhead shower arm or a ceiling mount shower arm. We recommend using an overhead or adjustable height shower arm so you can stand directly underneath the shower head for that true rain effect.
But no matter how you install it, you will have a shower set up that most people only get to experience at a spa.
What happens when a hand held shower head meets a fixed shower head?
A dual shower head is born!
Dual or double shower heads, combine the two most popular shower head options for the best shower experience. You get both the luxurious rain shower plus the versatility of the hand held option.
Combination shower head kits come not only with the shower heads but with a shower arm diverter so you can switch from one shower head to the other or run both at the same time.
This is the perfect option for larger households with varying needs, couples who can't compromise on a handheld or a rain, or, really anyone looking for the ultimate shower head experience.
