What Do You Know About Bathroom Shower Heads?

Published by Montgomery Decorator under Bathrooms

What do you know about bathroom shower heads? Most people can say they know they are adjustable, some are high pressure and some are handheld. People who use them every day of their lives know very little about them other than the fact they feel good when they are bathing or trying to relax. There is more to them than this, like the fact that bacteria can build in them and then spray back on your body and some are high efficiency, many are comparable in prices, faucets can be purchased to match them and some are filtered.

Variety means everything when it comes to bathroom shower heads. They are like people, some are well liked and others are unique. The antimicrobial type is made of treated plastic that helps prevent the build up of bacteria and germs that live and grow in other styles. In the process of making the plastic it is mixed with anti-mildew, anti-mold and anti-bacterial products. The antimicrobial benefits will never wear off or erode because they are built into the plastic.

Faucets are a major part of your bathroom fixtures. They vary in style, size and prices. Faucets can be purchased to match many of the high pressure or high efficiency heads. There are some can even be filtered. There are filters that are available that will attach to the side of your bathtub faucet. The water is filtered before it reaches your bathtub preventing germs and bacteria from spreading to your skin.

Most all shower heads are adjustable. They come with different spay types such as massaging, flat stream and mist. These are a great replacement for a single spray shower head because you can choose the style of spray you want from one shower to the next. Some are adjustable in terms of height as well. Many of the handheld showers have holders that are adjustable in height. These are perfect for younger children who are too short to use a regular shower.

Dual shower heads come in many shapes and sizes as does the waterfall heads. Dual bathroom shower heads give you many options such as two, three or more heads on one shower. Their variety is astounding because you can get them that spray at different angles or one that has multiple jets that spray all at the same time. Waterfall heads allow you to feel like you are standing in a downpour of rain or under a waterfall. They are perfect for a modern or contemporary style bathroom as well as for a poolside shower.

If you are looking for replacement heads, visit your local retailers or the vast number of retailers online. Many can help you choose the one that is right for your needs as well as offer you price comparison with other retailers. If you find that replacing your shower head is too much for you to handle, they can also recommend a plumber that has a good reputation.

Three Options with a Dual Shower Head

Published by Montgomery Decorator under Bathrooms

Many consumers have never heard of a dual shower head. A dual head means there are two separate shower heads running off of one pipe in a shower. There are three types of dual shower sets and within each set, there are many options available. Let’s find out which type of shower head would best suit you by learning more about them.

The most popular dual set is the dual arm shower head. With this type, one shower head is attached to the wall as a regular shower head fixture. The second shower head is attached to a double length swiveling arm, making this shower head easy to adjust and rotate. This dual head shower system easily attaches to the existing shower plumbing. Many people prefer this type of dual head fixture because of its versatility. Once you’ve installed the dual arms for your shower head, you can attach any shower head you wish. You can even install two completely different types of shower heads depending on what you want. The dual shower arms are made from heavy sold brass and do not have washers, making them leak free. Try adding a rainfall shower head onto your movable shower arm, while receiving a pulsating massage from the stable wall mounted shower head. You will discover why a dual shower head is often the first choice of many customers.

The second type of dual head is the dual massaging shower heads. This package is sold already put together with two matching massage shower heads. While they sit side by side, you can swivel and adjust the water so your massage is just right. These are packaged in easy to clean white thermoplastic, chrome or brass. Dual head shower fixtures are often able to run separately as well as together. Flow valves are available for those dual fixtures that do not come with individual shut off valves, making it easier to use one or the other shower head or both simultaneously.

The third type of dual shower heads is the shower head brass bar. Not always made of brass, this bar extends from your shower wall allowing for two shower heads to be attached to either end of the T-shaped bar. Water pressure is usually not a problem with two shower heads. With a water flow valve added to each shower head, you can control the amount of water each shower head allows to pass through it, making it easy to set on shower head to a soft mist while allowing the other to give a strong massaging flow. Shower head bars are available in several widths. Many shower head bars come with valves and shower heads included. These will include dual rain shower heads with an oversize shower head, a jet shower head that is easy to rotate, and dual massage heads on a shower bar.

Choosing a dual shower head that you will enjoy for a long time to come is easier once you know the options available. Be sure to compare not just the shower head features, but the cost as well.
