BATH AND SHOWER SYSTEMS CHOICE AID

Which bath or shower system suits you? We are happy to give you the right advice!

A shower or bath is an indispensable part of every bathroom. No bathroom is complete without a good bath or shower system. In addition, a bath or shower system ensures complete comfort in your bathroom.

Nowadays the choice is enormous! There are many different bath and shower systems available in various shapes, styles, sizes and colors. Consider, for example, a 1-, 2- and 3-way shower system. Or a modern shower panel with thermostatic tap, a rain shower or a waterfall shower head. Black, white or chrome. But a classic built-in bath or shower set with a diverter tap and sliding bar set is also an indispensable part of the range.

If you want to buy a new bath or shower set, you often only pay attention to the essential parts of the shower, such as the shower head, the color and the material.

But is the shower also suitable for installation in your bathroom? Is the shower system suitable for the family bathroom? Is the shower system easy to install or does the wall need to be broken open and is the size of the shower system suitable for the shower area? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

So which shower is right for you? Which shower will freshen you up every morning or evening and give you a well-deserved wellness experience? And what should you pay attention to when purchasing a bath or shower system? In this article we explain more about the different options.

A bath or shower system can be built into the wall: a built-in shower or mounted on the wall: a surface-mounted shower

BUILT-IN bath or SHOWER SYSTEM

A built-in bath or shower set is a system in which the tap housing is mounted in the wall. The biggest advantage is that the tap can be neatly concealed in the wall. You will no longer see a rod and only the knobs & wall plate of the bath or shower tap are visible, and built-in bath or shower sets are available in different designs & styles. And by versions we refer to 1-way, 2-way or 3-way.

With the words 1-, 2- and 3-way we refer to the number of outlets of the shower tap itself. For example, a 1-way shower tap has 1 outlet, a 2-way shower tap has 2 outlets and a 3-way shower tap has 3 outlets. Each outlet from a bath or shower faucet sends water to a shower component such as a shower head, hand shower or body jet.

Advantage of a built-in shower set: A built-in shower set is ideal for small bathrooms because they are mounted in the wall and create a spacious feeling, allowing for many different installation options with a built-in shower set.

Disadvantage of a built-in shower set: The tap body of the built-in shower tap sits in the wall, meaning that installing a built-in shower tap requires more time & money.

Below are examples & explanations of the different shower set versions.
