What are the things to consider while purchasing a freestanding showerhead?
Type of showerhead
Freestanding shower heads are mainly available in two styles. One style comes with a panel made of stainless steel or PVC body on which the handles and diverters will be attached. Handshower, if any will also be attached to the side of the panel.
Another type is piped showerhead which is slender and elongated with the handle fixed on the pipe.
Finish
Bathroom and outdoor showerheads are available in a range of finishes for you to choose from. While the most common finish is chrome, they are also available in rose gold, brushed nickel and black finish.
When selecting a freestanding showerhead for the bathroom, you should consider the bathroom design and the color scheme followed. However, for outdoor showerheads, you are free to choose any finish depending on your preference.
Height
The height of the showerhead may not be of concern in the case of a ceiling-mounted showerhead. But this is not the case with freestanding showerheads. The showerhead should have an optimal height so that everyone can use it without much difficulty.
Shower heads that are too tall can cause splashing of water, whereas small showerheads can be difficult to use. The optimal height for a freestanding showerhead is 80 to 96 inches. This height can easily accommodate most adults who can take a shower comfortably.
Material
Freestanding showerheads used in outdoor spaces like swimming pools and beaches are subjected to harsh weather conditions. They should be made of highly durable and weather-resistant material so that they last for long.
Stainless steel and PVC are the best materials as they do not rust or get worn off easily.
Budget
The amount you are ready to spend is another important factor that should be considered. Freestanding showerheads are available from $500 to $1200. The price depends on the style, finish and any other additional features available.
