Overhead Showers

Overhead showers, also known as rain showers, are a type of showerhead that is mounted on the ceiling or high up on the wall, providing a luxurious and immersive showering experience. Unlike traditional showerheads that spray water at an angle, overhead showers release water directly from above, simulating the feeling of standing in a warm rainstorm. Overhead showers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, ranging from small circular heads to large rectangular ones. They can be made from various materials, including stainless steel, brass, and chrome, and can feature different types of nozzles that produce different water patterns and pressures. Some models also come with adjustable arms that allow users to direct the water flow to a specific area of the body. One of the main advantages of overhead showers is their ability to provide a relaxing and soothing showering experience. The gentle and steady stream of water can help reduce stress and tension, while the increased water coverage can help rinse off soap and shampoo more effectively. Additionally, overhead showers can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any bathroom, making them a popular choice among homeowners and hoteliers alike. However, it is important to note that installing an overhead shower may require some modifications to the plumbing and ceiling structure, which can add to the overall cost of the project. Additionally, some users may find the water pressure to be too low or too high, depending on the specific model and water flow rate.
