Do you have photo of your rain shower head?
Comments (3)We have the Grohe rain shower mounted on the ceiling, as well as another shower head on a fixed bar. Each has it's own control so it is possible to have one or both shower heads on at the same time. We also have the thermo-balance control, recommended by many on this forum. When we take a shower, we depend on the lights over our vanity mirrors. It's quite well-lit in the shower because the glass surrounding our shower is translucent. Also, light from the six light bulbs is reflected from both mirrors. I don't have a picture of the rain shower head, but I'll include a picture showing the controls and the shower glass....See MoreThis Kohler shower head? Anyone have one?
Comments (8)The op just has a shower head version and it can easily be waterproofed. The body sprays can be waterproofed by carefully cutting the sheet membrane waterproofing to the plaster guards and then sealing the joint with the membrane's sealant like KerdiFix, or NobelSealant. Not DIY easy, but plenty doable for a pro or seasoned remodeler. You could also use HydroBan liquid waterproofing membrane to do both jobs, and that is just painted on with a brush or roller. It will stick to cement board, pipes, and plaster guards and make the assemble waterproofed....See MoreCeiling mounted rain head vs standard wall mounted shower head?
Comments (1)There was an enlightening discussion on this a while back so you should try doing a search. In general the gist of the comments was that a rain shower head experience is usually gentle and those with thick hair have difficulty rinsing shampoo and other hair products. Many, however, like the rain shower for the gentleness. In one shower that will be used by grubby children coming in from playing outside we have installed both a rain shower and a handshower in hopes that they will be enticed into getting cleaned up before they wander through the house. This will also probably be the dog shower. We haven't had a chance to use it yet as we are still waiting for our c.o. HTH....See MoreWood window in shower, would rain shower head help?
Comments (4)You are right, that is the best solution-if you are going to mostly store the shower curtain inside the tub. I'm only going to be using this for an occasional shower at, if at all so the shower curtain will usually be hanging on the outside of the tub. Even I even keep it hanging; I may just have the contractor install the rod and skip the curtain for now. Can anyone who showers with a rain shower help me??? Does the water splash less towards the back wall???...See Moreprintesa
