Showers

A good shower is one of the most used features in a home, so it pays to choose well. This collection brings together shower heads, arms, rails, sets, screens and bases, so you can plan the whole shower space in one place. 

Start with the type of shower you want. Fixed overhead showers give a broad, relaxing spray, hand-held showers on a rail add flexibility, and twin showers combine both. Screens keep water in, and bases form the floor of the shower. 

Check the basics before you buy. Look at your water pressure, the position of your plumbing and the space available. Match the finish across the shower fittings for a consistent look, and check that each part suits the others. 

Water efficiency is worth a look. Shower heads carry a WELS star rating, and more stars means lower water use. Waterproofing and installation should be handled by licensed tradespeople, so the shower is safe and leak-free. 

Plan the layout first. The position of the plumbing, the screen and the drain affect which products suit, so work out the design before you choose the fittings. 

Browse the sub-collections to compare options, and plan a shower that suits your bathroom.
