Everyone wants a shower in their bathroom – whether it is a separate shower area or over the bath. But one thing you should always consider when planning a bathroom renovation is a hand shower.
Rather than a fixed shower head coming from the wall or a rain head from the ceiling, a hand shower gives you the flexibility of being able to take it off of the rail (or out of it’s stand if you have a hand shower attached to a bath) and use it.
A hand shower is so helpful for many everyday uses.
Hair
Not everyone wants to get their hair wet every time they have a shower. A hand shower on a riser rail gives you the flexibility of being able to move the shower head up and down to the appropriate height to wash only your body.
Pets
If you have pets, you need to give them a dreaded bath now and again. A hand shower will make it so much easier and you can aim the water at all angles and rinse off those bubbles quicker.
Elderly
Many elderly people require a seat in the shower and having a hand shower allows for much more flexibility and ease of use.
Babies/Children
Much like pets, showering a baby or child is not always easy. Whether they be a bit older and standing in the shower or in a baby bath in the shower area/bath, having a hand shower allows you to control the direction of the water.
Cleaning
Have you ever washed a shower with a fixed head? It is so frustrating to clean everything, only to have the impossible task of rinsing. With a hand shower you can rinse all the tiles and shower screens easily.
And, if your heart is set on a rain head shower, never fear. You can either fit a rain head and separate hand shower on a riser rail, or purchase a dual head riser rail that has both fittings already.
