Your Bathrooms Shouldn’t Be A Waiting Room!

Choosing the right shower involves considering several factors like water pressure, bathroom layout, and your personal preferences. It’s important to assess your water system (gravity-fed, unvented, or combi boiler) and its impact on water pressure. Additionally, think about shower size, desired features (like body jets or rain showers), and your budget. 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

1. Water Pressure and System:

• Low Water Pressure:Consider electric showers or power showers, as they can provide a good flow rate even with low pressure. 
• High Water Pressure:You have more flexibility and can choose from various mixer showers, digital showers, or even a rainfall shower. 
• Water System:Understand if you have a gravity-fed, unvented, or combi boiler system, as this will influence your shower choices. 

2. Shower Size and Layout:

• Small Bathrooms: Opt for corner showers, a combination shower and bathtub, or a handheld shower with a rail. 
• Larger Bathrooms: You can choose from a wider range of options, including walk-in showers, shower towers, or multiple showerheads. 
• Existing Plumbing: If replacing an old shower, consider if the new one can fit into the existing installation holes. 

3. Shower Type:

• Mixer Showers: Mix hot and cold water for desired temperature. 
• Electric Showers: Heat water on demand, good for low pressure areas. 
• Digital Showers: Offer precise temperature control and can be more energy-efficient. 
• Power Showers: Boost water pressure, suitable for low pressure systems. 
• Rainfall Showers: Provide a luxurious, wide spray. 

4. Features and Considerations:

• Thermostatic Mixer: Maintains a consistent temperature, preventing scalding. 
• Body Jets: Offer a massage-like experience. 
• Built-in Seating: Adds functionality and can be helpful for some users. 
• Shower Doors: Sliding doors can save space, while pivot doors offer a wider entry. 

5. Budget:

• Shower prices vary significantly, so set a budget and compare prices based on your chosen features and quality. 

By considering these factors, you can choose the right shower to enhance your bathroom and create a comfortable and enjoyable showering experience.
