How to choose the right installation height for shower faucets?

If you have a shower, you should remember that all household members will use the bath. Therefore, when deciding on the height at which the shower tap will be placed, 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 optimal ceiling is considered to be 110-130 cm from the floor.

Incorrect selection of height may significantly affect the comfort of washing.

If the shower will be used by disabled people who must sit while bathing for their own safety, this fact should be taken into account when selecting the appropriate height. It is usually necessary to install it slightly lower to make it easier for people to bathe comfortably. Installing the shower tap at a level of 80 cm from the floor will be a much better solution in such a situation, and at the same time it will not hinder use by fully able-bodied people.

Adjusting the installation height of the faucet to the installation and needs

In many situations, the installation height of the shower faucet depends on the technical possibilities related to the construction of the water installation.

The type of faucets and bathing equipment is also important. A shower faucet with a handset requires a special holder to be attached to which the handset can be placed while bathing. A big advantage is that most often the handles have convenient adjustment of the handset position and comfortable bathing.

Currently, there is no problem in reconciling both groups, because the shower faucet can also be successfully installed next to the bathtub. Thanks to special, foldable screens, you can use both variants of bathing, depending on your individual preferences.

In such a situation, it is necessary to choose the appropriate model of bathtub and shower faucet and a hose and handset or rain shower. A special holder is installed on the wall, allowing you to hang the handset while bathing.

The tap itself should be mounted approximately 10-18 cm above the upper edge of the bathtub. For standard bathtub sizes, it will be approximately 60 cm from the floor surface. In turn, the holder for a shower head or rain shower should be installed in the same way as in the case of a classic shower tray. The issue is similar where the shower faucet with a rain shower is installed and the specific solution selected.
