Rain showers are becoming increasingly common in modern bathrooms. This excellent alternative to traditional bathroom handsets allows the water stream to be dispersed, providing a comfortable and gentle shower experience. There is a wide selection of rain showers on the market, differing in shape and technological advancement. The more modern ones are also exceptionally impressive, as they can be equipped with numerous programs that illuminate the water in various ways. They are suitable for any bathroom, regardless of its style or size.
How to install a rain shower?
This original solution can be installed in almost any shower. The easiest choice will be a shower head connected to the mixer in place of the classic handset. It will then be attached directly to the shower rail or panel and connected to the mixer with a flexible hose. Installation takes only a few minutes. If we want a more modern shower design and concealed connections, it's worth choosing to purchase and install a concealed rain shower equipped with a rigid pipe instead of a hose. The only visible element, in this case, is the handle and shower head, usually placed on an arm, allowing the rain shower to tilt conveniently. The second option is ceiling-mounted rain showers, intended for installation in a suspended ceiling. This is a very convenient solution, but it should be noted that the decision to purchase must be made much earlier. This type of rain shower requires water installation adjustment, that is, bringing it under the ceiling, as well as planning the appropriate technical space between the suspended ceiling cladding and the floor slab. You can also choose ceiling-mounted rain showers installed on the outside with a special ceiling mount. In a situation where we do not know which rain shower to choose, it is worth contacting specialists working in companies and stores selling such products.
How to choose the perfect rain shower?
Depending on the chosen model, it is possible to purchase only the rain shower nozzle or a set with the shower panel and mixer. If we decide to install a concealed rain shower, it will be necessary to purchase a concealed mixer with a dedicated water stream switch. It is worth ensuring that these products come from a single manufacturer. This guarantees that the shower will work completely reliably. It is also possible to buy a rain shower along with a shower mixer as a complete set. Such a large variety of rain shower sizes available offers the possibility to match the chosen model to the shower area. If we have a slightly larger space, it is worth opting for a large diameter rain shower, which allows for an extremely pleasant shower reminiscent of a walk in the rain. Owners of smaller cubicles do not have to give up the rain shower; smaller rain showers with a diameter of about 20 centimeters are perfect for small spaces. A small rain shower mounted on a shower rail can also be installed in combination with a bath.
We most often encounter rain showers in the standard round shape, but it is also worth knowing that many manufacturers offer square, rectangular rain showers, or those whose shape causes water to cascade down. There are also two or three-armed rain showers or those that resemble a lamp shade in shape.
If we want the greatest possible versatility, the best solution will be to choose a rain shower with stream regulation. This allows for freely choosing between a strong, wide stream or a gentle shower that sprays the body. It's worth opting for a rain shower combined with a thermostat, as this quickly and conveniently adjusts the temperature of the outgoing water. Slightly more demanding customers can also purchase a rain shower with built-in lighting and a convenient control panel. For some rain showers, there are even apps that control the lights, water stream, and even sound. They can be set up before entering the shower.
Why is a rain shower better than a regular shower?
The rain shower was primarily created to provide a pleasant showering experience. Gentle streams flowing from each side provide high bathing comfort, incomparable to a standard shower. Using a rain shower ensures a gentle body massage, which positively affects both our circulatory system, skin, and mood. This is not experienced with only a standard handset. Moreover, the rain shower gives the shower and entire bathroom an exclusive and elegant character. It can be ideally matched to the applied arrangement. On the market, alongside standard chrome, rain showers covered in black, matte coating can be purchased, fitting perfectly in an industrial bathroom decor.
