How to choose the perfect shower handset
The
quality of the materials you use to build your bathroom will impact how
pleasant your shower will feel.
A
hand-held, or handheld shower, is a must-have addition to your bathroom. It
keeps it clean while offering flexibility and comfort. Hand showers make a
great addition to any family, since everyone can use them. Hand-held
Showers are available in chrome, black and stainless steel.
Shower
handset holders designed to suit hand-held handheld showers are now available.
These accessories will make your bathroom even more beautiful and
sophisticated. These adjustable chrome wall-mounted shower handset holders
can be made in either traditional or modern designs to give your bathroom a
sleek and clean look.
The
Shower handsets require no special installation. We strive to make this process
as easy and painless as we can. They leave a lasting impression on the
bathroom thanks to their unique features.
How do I choose the perfect shower handset?
There are many aspects to
consider when selecting the best shower handset.
Match your new shower
handset to the bathtub tap if it is available, as well as other bathroom taps,
before you buy. Think about how the handset will fit in with your
bathroom's décor and the finish of any other bathroom fixtures.
1. Pick the right shower valve

First, let's look at the
shower valves. These plumbing components control water flow through the shower
handset.
After the valve has been
inserted in the wall, the shower enclosure or shower system will be
installed. Cover the valve with the control panel or handle when you
install the trim or handset kit.
There are both manual and
thermostatic options for shower valves. Both are identical, but
thermostatic shower valves have a system that cuts off water flow if it reaches
a specific temperature.
A thermostatic shower valve
means that you don't need to worry about the shower scorching you. This
valve also eliminates the possibility that a shower may lose cold water due to
a toilet flush or cold water being used elsewhere.
2. Select
the Type and Configuration
Two options exist when it
is comes to handsets. One can have a single showerhead, or a combination that
includes both the bathtub taps and the shower head.

There are five main types
of shower taps. These are single-head spray heads, rain heads, dual and
multiple spray heads, hand-held spray heads, body sprays, and shower heads.
* Shower with one spray head
Single-head spray heads are
shower heads with four or more separate nozzles that spray water in different
patterns. These shower heads come with adjustable nozzles which can be
adjusted by turning a small lever to adjust the water spray pattern.
* Rain shower
These showerheads can be
large and flat. These showerheads hang directly above users and spray
water straight down.
* Several shower heads
In a dual or multiple-head
shower head, there are usually two or three shower heads. The wall mounts
a single set or knobs that control this option. A diverter valve can be
used to allow simultaneous use of one or both showerheads in certain cases.
Shower heads that can easily be held in your hand
A single sprayer attachment
is made to a flexible tubing for hand-held rain heads. These shower heads
are perfect for cleaning hair or reaching difficult-to-reach areas. People
with limited mobility or who require a shower seat are particularly well served
by hand-held heads.
* Shower handsets equipped with a body spray
Finally, the body spray
handset has many spray heads which can be integrated into a shower
wall. The spray heads can either be flat and nearly level with the shower
wall surface or have tiny nozzles.
3. Check the pressure of the water
Most shower heads have
water pressures between 40 and 60 lbs per square inch (psi). There are
many hardware stores that sell testers. They can be used to test the water
pressure of your shower head and shower arm. This allows for you to check
the water pressure before purchasing a shower head or handset.
4. Consider accessories
Shopping for a showerhead
or handset will give you a wide range of options, including:
* Diverters
Diverters take water from
the spout to reach the showerhead and are typically visible at the spout.
* Shower Handsets

A hole will be needed to
install the shower handset. Shower handsets make cleaning your bathtub
easy.
* Antiscald valves prevent water from escaping
Anti-scald vales protect
you from extreme hot water spikes. No more freezing in your shower when
the toilet is used by another person in the house.
* Valves for balancing the pressure
If hot water pressure
suddenly drops, pressure-balancing devices maintain a fixed temperature.
5. Find a Budget-Friendly Option
You need to choose a shower handset for your
bathroom renovation. You want to make sure that you budget enough money
for everything, not just the bathtub and the shower handsets.
