It may come as a surprise to you that showers come in a variety of forms, more than you may realise. They are not only designed to provide a different shower experience but they are also designed to work with different systems within a home and the space that the person has in their bathroom.
If you are looking to buy a shower for your home and are not quite sure where to start, we have detailed all of the main types of showers and why they may be the right choice for you.
The most modern shower on the list is the digital shower. These works much like a traditional mixer shower, whereby the hot water is taken straight from the boiler and out onto your body. However, the key difference with digital showers is the digital part.
They allow for accurate control of water temperature and the rate that it flows, and many can even be connected to smart technology in your home to help you to have another method of control.
If you want hot water on demand, then you are going to want to buy an electric shower. These showers work by taking the cold water from your mains system and then heating this water inside the shower itself.
This means that you do not have to fire up the boiler to have hot water, so if anything, ever happens with it, you will still be able to shower. These showers do need to be installed in a system that has a good amount of water pressure, which is something that you want to keep in mind.
As the name suggests, mixer showers work by mixing the hot and cold water in your system. The mixture happens in the shower valve, which is where the temperature is set and regulated and how any possible issues with pressure or temperature are dealt with.
It is important to know that mixer showers are reliant on water pressure within your system, however, if you do have good water pressure then you should notice that mixer showers are more powerful than electric showers are.
If you are looking for a bit of oomph in your shower, then it goes without saying that a power shower is going to be the right option for you. Power showers are more often seen to be a luxury choice when it comes to showers and they do require more water to be pumped through the system than other showers.
Installing a power shower often means that you can have additional body jets as well as the standard handset and heads, this means that you are going to often choose this option when you are having a wet room installed into your bathroom.
To pick the right shower for you, you are going to need to consider your options and make sure that you make the perfect addition to your bathroom space.
Shower cabins are increasing in popularity and are a great option for people who want a shower that has it all. They are available in a range of styles and can feature body jets, monsoon shower heads, leak free technology, Chromotherapy lighting, Bluetooth speakers and many more exciting additions.
Easy to install and maintain, these all in one shower options are more expensive but offer the ultimate shower experience; you will never want to get out of it.
