How to choose the right installation height for shower faucets?
When having a shower, you should bear in mind that all household members will be using the bath. Therefore, when deciding on the height at which the shower faucet will be located, you need to adjust the installation level to the capabilities of all users. This issue is especially important when the shower will be used by adults, children and the elderly. The most optimal height is considered to be around 110-130 cm counted from the floor.
In practice, before installing a shower faucet, you should also consider whether its installation will not be inconvenient and will not negatively affect the ability to move around in the shower. Incorrect selection of height can significantly affect the comfort of washing.
If the shower is to be used by disabled people who need to sit for their own safety while bathing, this fact should be taken into account when selecting the appropriate height. It is usually necessary to mount it slightly lower to make it easier for people to bathe comfortably. Mounting the shower faucet at a level of 80 cm from the floor will be a much better solution in such a situation, and will not make it difficult for fully able-bodied people to use it.
Adjusting the battery mounting height to the installation and needs
In many situations, the installation height of the shower faucet depends on the technical possibilities related to the design of the water installation.
The type of faucet and bathing equipment is also important. A shower faucet with a handset requires a special holder to be attached, on which the handset can be placed during bathing. A big advantage is that most often the holders have a convenient adjustment of the handset position and a comfortable bath.
Height and installation of the shower faucet next to the bathtub
A shower is an excellent and exceptionally convenient alternative to a bathtub, but both solutions have many supporters and opponents. Currently, there is no problem in reconciling both groups, because a shower faucet can also be successfully installed next to a bathtub. Thanks to special, foldable screens, you can use both bathing options, depending on your individual preferences.
In such a situation, it is necessary to choose the right model of bathtub-shower faucet and a hose and a handset or rain shower. A special holder is installed on the wall, allowing the handset to be hung during bathing.
The faucet itself should be mounted about 10-18 cm above the top edge of the bathtub. For standard bathtub sizes, this will be about 60 cm from the floor surface. In turn, the mounting of the shower head or rain shower holder should be installed in the same way as in the case of a classic shower tray. The issue is similar where a shower faucet with a rain shower is mounted and a specific solution is selected.
