Bathroom Remodel- 2 shower heads in smallish shower?
Comments (10)You can get a fine shower from a handheld. If I'm installing just one head in a shower, I recommend the user go with a handheld. They're more versatile, and there is no performance penalty. Understand that many manufacturers use the same shower head for fixed and handheld applications. Same head, just a different presentation. Example, here's the Grohe Relaxa Top4, which is what I have in my shower: Fixed: Handheld: I'll agree with raehelen too regarding the bench. I'll encourage you to eliminate the built-in bench and go with a movable wood stool or bench. Again, more versatile. And more comfortable to sit on. Two heads in a 65" shower is not excessive. Regarding the rainhead and pressure. You are correct, many people who use a rainhead as a daily shower head to shower an shampoo do indeed get frustrated with it. It's not really intended to function that way. But those who use a rainhead for the "rainhead experience", they love the rainhead. If your two heads will be used for functional showering, I'd recommend a fixed head on one wall and a handheld on the other wall. Make the handheld hose long enough so it can be used to wash down the walls. I probably install more Grohe than anything else. When you do change shower heads, there sometimes is a transition when going from what you're used to to what you now have. The new head isn't worse. It's simply different. For your plumbing layout, consider having the supply valve(s) located just inside the shower so you can turn the water on without having to step into the shower. The idea is to eliminate getting hit with a cold spray when you turn the shower on....See MoreTips for setting 2x2s on shower floor? We might DIY
Comments (4)One tip I can give him right off the bat. Being that the shower floor is so small, most times, what I'll do is lay the floor in dry, and cut the whole thing in before the first piece gets adhered to the floor. That way if anything needs to be adjusted, it's not a big deal to do so, until it looks right, and then it's just a matter of picking up half the floor, thinsetting it down, tapping it all in with a flat trowel, and then thinsetting the other side as you work your way out of the shower. Piece of cake!! One other thing-- there's absolutely NO reason to backbutter the sheets. This also might account for why the sheets shifted on their mounting before he set them...See More1/2 inch line for 2 shower heads - ok or a problem?
Comments (4)I have 1/2" inch lines coming into a two person shower. We are going with a 1/2" Grohtherm valve that will feed a Grohe Movario hand-held shower head and a Brasstech overhead rainshower. A Movario fixed head will be on a separate pressure-balance valve. I was told that a 1/2 valve will support two heads but probably not three. Since my husband wants to be able to control his water temp anyway, we went this route. I discussed this arrangement with several people, including a Grohe rep, who seemed to think it will work. We have the rough plumbing done but are in the middle of tile work so I can't say for sure what it is like. Good Luck!...See MoreIs this shower head too big?
Comments (25)I'm glad some people get me. The suggestion of 24x36 is good but it's not a size I've seen. It's 40x40 or 20x40. On the rare occasion I use the rain shower head I think 20x40 will let me escape. But like I said, this is more decorative than anything else. And it will be in my master bathroom which also has a traditional shower head. That is what I will use on a daily basis. I am not getting one with LED. If I could get one that would let me control the colors like regular rgbw light, I would consider it. But I think the temp-coded led lights are gimmicky. And when there are problems with these shower heads it is typically a problem with the led going out....See Moreraenjapan
