Rufinorox, It looks like below pic except with a slide bar instead of the little fixed holder. I usually find and order things on the internet, but for this ended up at a Ferguson showroom. I would have been clueless about all the parts and pieces needed to put this together without their help. AND, I got to see it in person!! I never thought I'd go to a plumbing /fixture showroom but in this case it was well worth paying a bit more than the online price.

I also am planning a set up similar to yours, and wondered if several hundred dollars was worth paying, just for the shower head itself. I didn't want to compromise on my design, but I also didn't want to spend that kind of money. So, I went to e-bay. I found a 12 inch, $900 Rohl shower head that I was able to get for $120. It's new, it's gorgeous, and the price can't be beat. I don't yet have it installed, so I can't tell you how it feels, but I have an 8 inch one in the other bathroom and I love it! I say, if that's what you want, then go for it! However, get creative so you don't end up spending so much. Find the one you want and put a search out on e-bay. When it shows up there, you'll get an email, and you'll save some money!

Try and search for an old post from the past year or so, about showerheads. The clear winner was http://speakman.com/ A lot of these choices come down to personal preferences. I like a simple, but strong flow, showerhead placed high up on the wall. I like a combo grab bar and handheld shower bar. There are also some old post w/ Jaclo having good options. I like shower bars that are at least 36" long so you have the whole range of height options. I used a 48" one in my master shower. Placement of handheld shower bar really depends on the design of the shower. In my large master shower they are on different walls and allow two people to shower at same time. The smaller showers in the other bathrooms will have the main showerhead and handheld bar on the same wall and not too far from each other, simply due to space constraints. My favorite handheld is a common model from Grohe with several spray patterns. I got talked into a more expensive one before and it was too bulky and heavy for a handheld.

Choosing a Jaclo rain head fixture for a 3' x 5.5' shower. In another shower (which is 4' x 6') I have a 10" Jaclo rain machine. Would the 8" fixture be more suitable for the narrower shower?
