When remodeling a bathroom, many people think of tile, tubs and sinks but most overlook the shower head. The right shower head can create a spa-like experience for you. From single function shower heads to multifunction which gives you a variation for sprays and coverage there are many options to consider. There are rain heads that include overhead showering panels and simulate a summer rain. These water distribution systems can also include mood enhancing colored light to set the tone for the day.. There are many types of hand showers that have a hose extension and offer a wide array of massage-like water streams. If to feature green energy saving standards you can install a shower head that helps conserve water while looking great too. If you put a little thought into your shower head selection you can enjoy the benefits for years to come.
First set a budget. Shower heads start at about $10 for the most basic to over $1,000 for some very elaborate models with all kinds of features. The average good quality shower head goes for about $150.00. Find a range that suits you. Consider the cost of installation in your budget.
You should decide on the finish of the shower head next. Brass, pewter, stainless steel, bronze, chrome, gold, platinum, and nickel finishes are all widely used and available. It really just depends on the tastes you have, as well as the design of the room. If you are getting a shower-tub combo, you will want to match the finish on both the shower head and the tub faucet. There are also combination shower head/faucets already made for this reason.
Next, choose whether or not you want to have a handheld shower head. You could have a mounted head, but a handheld model is a great convenience. They are especially good for bath time if you have young children or pets. They are also convenient for the elderly or the disabled, for easy access and control.
Features some shower heads include are full spray, massage, rain, mist, and jet sprays. Some of them have more than one of these, allowing you to change between them. There are also environmentally friendly models that use less water.
