Whether your shower will be over the bath, in a wet room, or in its own cubicle, there are a few choices.
Shower taps
Some bath taps come with a shower head attached. You can get a rail to hold the head, but they are often fitted as part of a freestanding bath, perhaps away from a wall and intended to be hand held. As such, they are generally best for those who prefer to sit in the bath and rinse their hair, and are also good for bathtime for those with young children.
Fixed shower head
This type of shower head (as the name suggests) is fixed through the ceiling or on an arm from the wall. Generally the shower rose will have one flow pattern (although some may be adjustable) and they are often found in wetrooms. For versatility, you may pair it with a handheld shower head, and switch between the two during use – although some can be operated at the same time.
They are sometimes referred to as rainfall, or rainforest showers and can offer a really luxurious showering experience if high-pressure.
Handheld shower head
Handheld showers tend to have a head that can offer both jet and spray options for varied use. They are also offer better reach and flexibility than fixed shower heads. Don't worry, you won't have to hold it for the length of your shower – they can be paired with a wall-mounted slider rail kit.
