Different types of shower fittings
When choosing a new shower faucet, it is important to know the difference between the different models:
- Thermostatic faucets – Keep the water temperature constant and prevent scalding.
- Shower set – Complete solution with hand shower, shower bar and hose.
- Overhead showers – Large shower heads that provide a luxurious rain effect.
- Shower columns – Combines hand shower, overhead shower and often massage functions.
- Shower panels – Advanced solutions with multiple water jet functions.
- Built-in shower fittings – Minimalist design where only the controls are visible.
- Wall-mounted shower faucets – The classic solution that is easy to install.
Whether you want a simple and functional model or an advanced shower solution, there is a shower faucet to suit your needs.
Materials and design – choose the right style
A shower faucet should not only be functional – it should also fit the bathroom design.
The most popular materials and finishes include:
- Chrome – Timeless and shiny look that suits most bathrooms.
- Brushed steel – Elegant and modern finish with a matte surface.
- Matte black – Perfect for a stylish and minimalist design.
By choosing the right surface, you can create a cohesive look in your bathroom.
Water-saving shower fittings
With a water-saving shower faucet, you can reduce your water consumption without compromising on comfort.
- Built-in water restrictors reduce flow without affecting pressure.
- Shower faucets with air mixing mix air into the water jet for a fuller shower experience.
- Economical shower heads can save up to 50% on water consumption.
These solutions help reduce water and energy consumption, which is good for both the environment and your finances.
Shower fittings with anti-calc function
Limescale deposits can affect the water jet and shorten the life of your shower faucet.
Advantages of anti-limescale function:
- Silicone nozzles make it easy to remove limescale with a finger.
- Specially treated surfaces reduce limescale deposits.
- Longer durability ensures that the fixture functions optimally for many years.
If you live in an area with hard water, a shower faucet with an anti-limescale function may be a good investment.
Installation and assembly – wall-mounted vs. built-in solutions
When choosing a shower faucet, it is important to consider how it will be installed.
- Wall-mounted shower faucets are the most common solution and easy to install.
- Built-in shower fixtures provide a minimalist look, but require installation behind the wall.
If you are renovating or building a new bathroom, a built-in solution can be a stylish choice.
How to choose the right shower faucet
When choosing a shower faucet, you should consider the following:
- Ease of use – Should it be a thermostatic faucet or a manual faucet?
- Design – Does chrome, brushed steel or matte black suit your bathroom best?
- Functionality – Do you need a shower set, overhead shower or shower column?
- Water saving – Do you want a model with water restriction?
- Limescale protection – Do you live in an area with hard water?
By taking these factors into consideration, you can find the shower faucet that best suits your needs.
Maintenance of shower fixtures
To ensure a long life for your shower faucet, you should maintain it regularly:
- Wipe the faucet after use to avoid limescale deposits.
- Clean the shower head regularly to ensure optimal water flow.
- Use mild cleaning agents to protect the surface.
With proper maintenance, your shower faucet will stay beautiful and functioning well for many years.
