Shower Design
Look at the profile and details alongside the other fittings in the room. Compare the product dimensions even when replacing something with a similar appearance. An exposed shower keeps the valve visible and accessible, while a concealed design puts the main valve body behind the wall. Think about whether you need a fixed overhead spray, a handheld outlet or both before you compare the systems available.
Water Supply & Fit
Check the stated pressure and water supply requirements for the exact shower you are considering. Use its drawing to confirm the connection positions and mounting depth. In a refit, take account of the existing supplies and what will be accessible after tiling. Check the allowed installation orientation in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Controls & Outlets
Decide where the controls should sit and which outlet you will reach for most often. Compare the items supplied with the set, including the valve, handset, hose and overhead head. With multiple outlets, check how the control switches between them. Check where a handset can sit when it’s returned to its bracket.
