Then the way out of this situation is to install a shower panel with a mixer and an overhead shower. The main advantage of such a shower is that it is similar to the storm flow in tropical areas due to alternating drops of water and air bubbles. The system of "tropical" shower is installed at the top of the equipment and, accordingly, the water flow comes from above. These streams of water act on the human body curatively and help it to relax.

The system of "tropical" shower is installed at the top of the equipment and, accordingly, the water flow comes from above.Due to the adjustable pressure of water droplets, this system provides comfort when taking a shower.

But the most common models are considered with panels installed at the top. They are suitable for rooms of any size.

Components of the panel are the case, built-in equipment and additional components. Some types are made with a resistant shower and a seat. For the manufacture of the case it is considered better to use acrylic plastic, as it is resistant to temperature changes. Also used aluminum alloy or glass of various colors.
