What should you pay attention to when choosing a shower faucet with a rain shower head?
Shower faucets are available in various versions. Recently, when renovating or arranging a bathroom, many people decide on modern shower panels with a built-in rain shower, as well as wall-mounted shower faucets with a rain shower and thermostat. However, there are many more solutions available.
A concealed shower faucet may be a good choice for a new bathroom. Such a shower head looks very elegant and makes the fittings much easier to keep clean. However, it cannot be denied that they are much more difficult to install than surface-mounted shower heads.
When choosing a faucet to be installed in a shower cabin, you should consider not only its type or installation method, but also its size. It is also very important that the shower faucet with a rain shower has the right color. Models are available in chrome, but also black, white or gold. They can be successfully matched to any bathroom style.
What arm length should a rain shower faucet have?
In the case where the rain shower is built into the shower panel, you don't have to think about the length of the arm. However, it is completely different in the case of models in which the shower head and rain shower are included but are not built into the panel. They have a handle that can be of different lengths.
When the shower is small, you should make sure that the length of the arm of the faucet supplying water is about 30 centimeters. The same applies to situations when the rain shower is to be for the bathtub. An arm that is too long could cause water to splash, especially during a strong stream. When adjusting the faucet to a larger shower cabin, you can safely try an arm length of 40 or 50 centimeters.
What size should a rain shower be?
The shower set should be well-matched to the size and shape of the shower cabin. Otherwise, when taking a shower, the water may splash too much and flood the entire bathroom. This is also very important in the case of sets for a bathtub with a screen.
To ensure full bathing comfort and optimal jet pressure, if you have a large shower, you can opt for a rain shower with a diameter of even 40 centimeters (if it is to be round). Smaller cabins require the panels to have a diameter of maximum 30 centimeters. Despite their smaller size, when properly installed, they are also able to provide the appropriate water flow and comfort of use.
