A shower column is a great way to introduce a designer element to your bathroom decor that will transform the traditional bathroom interior. Modern shower columns are available in a wide variety of designs and finishes, and their installation is surprisingly simple. Before you decide to purchase a panel, consider several important factors that will help you make an informed choice.
Shower set - what should you know about it?
A shower panel is a device in which the showerhead, handheld shower, spray jets, and control elements are integrated into one tall column. Pipes and fittings, hidden behind the set, provide a neat and minimalist finish, and the construction of the column creates a harmonious whole in line with the principles of modern style. Shower columns are available in different designs and finishes, with chrome, black, and gold being the most popular options.
If you are looking for a safe solution that perfectly blends with the decor of any bathroom, choose a chrome shower column. A black shower set provides a modern look to the room and can be a dominant decorative accent in the interior. On the other hand, a golden shower column will suit bathrooms decorated in a glamour style. Shower columns are usually made of stainless steel or - in a budget version - aluminum.
Basic version of the shower column
The shower set, in its basic version, includes a rain shower head and a handheld shower. The rain shower head is an extremely functional element of the shower that disperses water streams, providing a pleasant and economical bathing experience. Depending on the style of your bathroom's finish, you can choose shower columns with a round, square, or rectangular rain shower head. Remember that the shape of the fixtures should match the appearance of the sanitary ware, so if you have chosen a半-circular shower tray, avoid shower heads with sharp edges.
The shower set can take a more classic form with a high-gloss finish or a modern one in matte. A very practical solution is a shower set enriched with a column that has a shelf for storing cosmetic accessories. The basic version of the shower column also allows for height adjustment, which is particularly important when several household members share the shower.
How to choose a shower column?
One of the most important issues to consider before starting a renovation is the method of installing the shower column. If you prefer minimalism, consider purchasing a built-in shower set. Built-in shower columns are very stylish, with only the rain shower head, handheld shower, and knobs being visible. Of course, such a solution generates higher costs. Moreover, it may not work in small bathrooms where there is no additional space to allocate for built-in fittings.
Shower set with a thermostatic valve
A shower column with a built-in thermostatic valve is a great solution for families with small children. If you care about increasing safety while using the shower, or if you struggle with sudden drops in water temperature, it is worth investing in such a solution. With a built-in valve, you can be sure that the water temperature will remain constant regardless of sudden drops in water pressure or unintentional turning of the switch during hygiene procedures.
