Showerheads


Showerheads are an often overlooked part of a shower. But they can dramatically affect not only the look of your shower itself, but the experience of each individual shower you take in it. Gone are the days of the typical showerhead. Nowadays there are plenty of options for personal customisation. They can have a great impact on the feel of your bathroom as well as your showering experiences.  
Size
Showerheads do not actually govern how much water is delivered, this is up to the shower valve, so make sure you have a powerful shower valve installed if you want a strong stream of water when showering. The size of the showerhead will affect the water delivery to some degree. Larger ones release more water, and will compromise power for volume. If you want a large showerhead with a strong delivery, make sure you have a powerful shower valve.
Fixed Showerheads
These come in all shapes and sizes, but the one principle they all share is that they remain fixed to the wall. If you prefer standing beneath a stream of water, this type of showerhead will suit your needs perfectly.
Shower Handsets
A dismountable head which usually sits above the taps of your bath/shower, handsets are popular for more classic bathroom looks and offer a little more flexibility when using the shower.
Shower Bodyjets
These are the ultimate additions to a shower. Not only do they scream style, they are also very effective at what they do. Rather than water falling from above as it would do with a normal showerhead, bodyjets are a series of jets aimed at all parts of the body to properly provide a full showering experience.
Style
Showerheads have such a dramatic effect on the rest of the shower that they can often really alter the atmosphere of the entire bathroom. It might sound a little extreme, but imagine a bathroom opting for traditional aesthetics sporting a chic set of bodyjets. While some might find this combination appealing, it is certainly a mixture of styles others will want to avoid. Considering which showerhead is suited to your bathroom will help you emphasise the atmosphere you want your bathroom to have.
