Shower Handsets

Can any shower head fit any shower?

In the UK there is a universal size for shower pipes and shower heads meaning any shower head should fit your current set up. However, it is important to take into consideration water pressure and water systems to ensure your new shower head is compatible with the plumbing in your home.

 

What are the benefits of a handheld shower hose?

There are a few benefits to a handheld shower hose, the first being that it gives you greater control and accuracy with the direction of your spray. As the shower is not fixed in one place, this gives you greater control over the direction of water spray which is useful for everyday showering as well as cleaning the shower and even washing pets!

Another benefit is that due to a smaller and more controlled flow of water, handheld showers can be more eco friendly and limit your water consumption. 

Having some versatility in your shower experience is also a nice benefit with handheld shower hoses. Being able to switch between an overhead shower to a handheld one adds that extra touch of luxury to your shower routine!

 

Is it possible to add a handheld shower to an existing fixed shower?

It is certainly possible to add a handheld shower to a fixed shower. There are a few ways to go about this. You can replace an overhead shower with a handheld shower by adding a bracket and attaching the handheld shower hose to the pipe where the showerhead was previously fitted. 

Alternatively, a handset shower can be combined with an overhead shower set up but additional adaptors and potentially plumbing work will be required.
