Just commenting to see what others say. I never found all that in a "kit" so to have a rainhead, and a handheld on a slide, and a control, we pieced together moen parts. Just got done grouting shower and will be installing soon.

Costco on line has a wall mount one for about $600, also Home Depot has a wall mount about same price.

However the wall mount at Costco and Home Depot do not have the valves included with kit. Those need to be purchased separately.

I used hansgrohe too.

West bathroom reveal

Thanks folks. Kirstyreg & enduring, where did you get. them from? And how do they cost?

Got them at Furgusons. This way I could return if problems, and have a personal connection with a sales person. The shower head is described in my lengthily reveal thread. The cost was expensive in my book. Furgusons has many brands to look at.

there are 2 links I feel are important to look at.

Starcraft Builders Faucet Review

Take a look at Brizo. They are the high end company of Delta Faucet. We have the Charlotte line and it comes in 4 finishes and offers every configuration in the H20kinetic Technology. Our bath has a wall mount rain can shower head (though they offer a ceiling mount) and we have the slide bar hand shower but they also come fixed mounted. They also have the 4 setting integrated shower head/hand held.

They are higher than traditional Delta and are available through Ferguson's or Moore Kitchen and Bath Supply. Maybe others.

Hi,

The valves and diverter under the "shower trim" between the rainshower and handheld shower fixture are complicated. You many want to consult with a plumber or the 800 number for the manufacturer of the fixture you are considering. I am in the process of trying to figure out Brizo on this same matter.

But as to brands, Kohler and Delta are commonly recognized as very good US brands. I ended up replacing Moen fixtures in my former house , with which I had lots of issues, with Kohler. Never had any problems with Kohler, but it is expensive.

We have moved and we have switched to Delta and its high end version, Brizo, both of which have very good reputations. But even with the better brands, you have to examine each collection---a lot are making "cheap" versions and higher end versions. Look at the weight, where screws are placed, how long the lever is, etc. Ordering for the second time the Hansgrohe 27474 w/ 10" round spray, It is expensive, but wonderful as to pressure, maintenance and effect. As to the shower spray, we loved the Flip, but will need a hose (metal 70 vs 72 ") a sliding bar and a connector to water. We are goiing use Kohler on this again.

Good luck. Remember Chrome is timeless and cheaper, Check out Delta Asa(using Moen towel trims) and Virage ---really funking in chrome---schulptural with a twist.

Check out Build.com for best prices. I deal with Liz Thomas who is great!

Good luck!

As to the rain shower, I am getting the Hansgrohe

Interesting you say Kohler being problem free compared to the Moen. I saw the Moen adverts in a magazine and thought they might be a good option to look in to.

I've sourced and had fitted the whole valve and diverter assembly along with the trim but it was in the UK. The hardest part was getting the plumber to 'get' how it all worked and making sure he put the valves in the right way around and made the appropriate adjustments. I ended up doing the troubleshooting on the phone with the company myself and then explaining first myself then getting the company to explain.

I'll definitely keep your feedback in mind when we start the selection process. Many Thanks!

Hansgrohe have some excellent products as do Grohe.
