Hands on
Handheld showers are a popular choice and offer a great deal of flexibility. You can shower standing or sitting and bathe children and pets with ease. Most handheld showers also can be used as a fixed showerhead.
Rain showers
If you like singing in the rain and singing in the shower, now you can have the best of both worlds with a rain showerhead. For a shoulder-to-shoulder rain spray, look at the GROHE Rainshower, which is available in an extra-wide, 16-inch diameter.
Steam clean
If you want a total spa experience, add a little steam power. There are a vast number of products, like the Sedona shower system from Jacuzzi, that combine both steam and a shower into one easily installed unit.
Space saver
If you’re tight on space, you can still shower in style. For example, the Pluvia spiral showerhead and shower curtain from Hastings Bath was designed by renowned architect and designer Matteo Thun to conserve space.
Tech talk
Technology touches every part of our home; it can even improve the way we shower. One example is the Kohler DTV and DTV II custom showering system. If you are tired of wasting time adjusting the temperature, now you can get the shower experience you want with the touch of a button on the digital interface.
Dynamic duo
According to experts at Delta Faucet Company, 70 percent of consumers prefer a dual-function shower, which allow separate volume and temperature adjustments. The MultiChoice Universal shower valve by Delta allows consumers to upgrade from a single-function shower (temperature control only) to a dual-function shower at any time.
With so many options, you’ll likely need a nice, relaxing shower after you visit all the local showrooms to find the one that is right for you.
