Shower Heads, Dual Heads, and Rain Heads

Few things in life are as wonderful as a hot shower, especially after a long day at work or on an exceptionally cold morning. It is a great way to wake up as well as to relax, and since everyone needs to bathe, one might as well make it as enjoyable as possible. And nothing makes a shower more enjoyable than a quality shower head.

At Shower-heads.com, we are shower aficionados of the highest order. We are firm believers that quality shower time can brighten nearly anyone’s day. We have built this website to be used as a resource of information for anyone that wants to upgrade their existing shower, or wants to completely redo their bathroom. The information we provide is designed to be completely independent and unbiased, and we do not endorse any one particular company or product.

Let’s face it; the most beautifully designed shower can be ruined by an inferior shower head. A clogged head, or one that sprays the dreaded “mist” are not only annoying, but they do not effectively rinse off soap, dirt, and whatever else might be on your skin and in your hair. And of course, many older heads are often filled with bacteria, lime and hard water deposits.

Today, shower heads are available in a wide variety of sizes, flow capacities and capabilities. From low-flow heads that are designed to conserve water to high-flow rain heads and even dual heads, there is something for just about every taste and budget. They can be easily found through most local home improvement centers, and in some cases, local retailers that specialize in water fixtures. There are also numerous online retailers that are available for those that don’t have a local source.

Low-flow heads are a popular way to go for many of today’s homeowners. In an age where conservation is more important than ever, these heads can be a valuable commodity. As a general rule, these heads use less than two gallons of water per minute, and some are even capable of using less than a gallon per minute. While most of these heads are quite basic in their operation, there are examples that have multiple spray settings, including massage.

However, if you’re looking for the ultimate in luxury, a rain head is the way to go. These shower heads are usually quite large in diameter and project a wide spray pattern. They are not usually high-pressure in design, and instead allow the water to pour down like rain, as the name suggests. They are often attached to an articulated neck piece that allows them to be put into nearly any position and allow for plenty of space between you and the head itself.

Many of today’s luxury homes feature dual head shower designs. A dual head design uses two different shower heads, placed in different positions, in order to create the ultimate showering experience. In some cases, one head is placed above, and one on the side; in others there are two overhead sources of water. This style of shower is becoming more and more popular with homeowners across the country.
