Shower Rails

A shower rail holds a hand-held shower on a slide bracket, so you can adjust the height or hold the shower in your hand. It makes a shower flexible for people of different heights, and it is useful for children and for cleaning the shower. 

Rails come in different lengths and finishes. A longer rail offers more height adjustment, while a shorter rail suits a compact shower. Many include a bracket that slides up and down and locks in place, and a hose connects to the water supply. 

Check the details before you buy. Look at the rail length, the hose length and the fixing method. Make sure the rail suits your wall type, and that the hose reaches comfortably. Consider the spray patterns offered on the hand shower. 

Fixing matters. The rail must hold the weight of the hose and shower, so use suitable wall fixings and fix into solid backing. A licensed plumber should connect the water supply. 

Finish and height complete the picture. Choose a finish that matches your tapware, and mount the rail where it suits all users. 

Browse the range to compare rails, and choose a shower rail that suits your bathroom.
