Shower Head vs Hand Shower

Decide for Yourself:

Shower Head, Hand Shower or... Shower Head with Hand Shower?

When deciding on upgrading your shower or installing a new shower system it is important to take a look at what kind of shower experience is fitting for you. There are two basic types of shower heads; a shower head that is fixed to your shower wall or a hand shower that allows you to freely move it from the wall. Another option is to purchase a shower head and hand shower in one.

Fixed Shower Head

• Permanently fixed in your shower and most widely used in a shower.
• Gives you the ability to fix the shower head in one spot for specific height requirements.

Hand Shower

• Offers flexibility for children and pets in the bathtub as well as anyone needing to sit in the shower.
• Direct the spray pattern to specific areas in the shower.

Shower Head with Hand Shower

• The 2-in 1 shower has the added benefit of a shower head feature and a detachable hand shower.
• The hand shower can be used separately or simultaneously with the shower head.

Shower Systems

What is typically included?

Choosing a shower system is a big part in creating the most beneficial shower that fits you and your family. Take a look at each piece of a shower system that will make showering luxurious.

• Shower Head Spray Function: Single Function, Multi Function and Rainshower.
• Body Sprays: Styles include square, round, swivel spray rotation and flush options.
• Hand Showers: The hand shower can take the place of a shower head or work in combination with the shower head.
• Pressure Balance: The Pressure Balance Valve senses the pressure change and immediately adjusts the mix of the outflow.
• Thermostatic Valve: Measures and monitors the temperature of the water. The thermostatic valve is a better version of a pressure balance valve.

Knowing all the pieces involved for a new or upgraded shower can be helpful in purchasing the best shower system for you.
