Shower rack with rain shower and mixer

Modern plumbing stores offer a wide selection of bathroom accessories. Among the products for the shower booth are in great demand racks with a mixer and a rain shower. They have great functionality, practical and allow you to enjoy swimming. In this article we will look at the advantages, properties and types of mixers with a rain shower, and also give some tips on choosing this unit.

A tropical shower with a mixer only seems to be an analogue of a standard shower head, in fact, these two units are significantly different from each other.In the first place - the appearance, as a tropical shower has a large area of ​​the grid and a lot of nozzles. If from a usual watering can a stream of water goes tightly, then from a tropical stream there is a stream of drops that gently fall on the body. This effect is achieved due to the mixing of water with air during passage through the grate.

Another distinctive black is the installation height of the shower strut. Its installation should be made at least two-meter height. Drops of water will go a long way, which contributes to a milder effect on the skin. The combination of the above circumstances makes a tropical shower very pleasant.

It has another distinctive feature - massage. Jets of water flow evenly over a large area and in large drops. That is what gives such a nice effect. Special grids from the inside of the watering can provide healing properties of the shower, the drops gently fall on the skin and relax the body. Massage sensations depend on the diameter of the watering can, the height of its installation, as well as the configuration of the mixer.

The buyer can choose a system with a backlight, which is already built into it. LED panels contribute to a favorable effect on the nervous system, and with regular use of a tropical shower, even some diseases can be cured, for example, impaired blood circulation, chronic fatigue, and improved bowel function. It relieves rain from edema and loose skin, as the massage effect provides blood flow to the skin.

A tropical shower with a spout has both its pros and cons, which should be considered when buying. The big advantage of this type is the wide diameter of the watering can, which covers a large area. Hands are free during bathing due to the fact that the watering can is firmly fixed on the wall. A strong stream of water will provide the best result after bathing, and vertically directed massages not only the body, but also the head.

Another advantage of this installation is its original and beautiful appearance. It allows you to create a unique design in the bathroom and brings a zest to the interior.

Among the features of the system should be noted the following several factors: certain requirements for the installation and technical characteristics of the room,as well as the need to purchase an additional shower head. The column should be mounted on a wall or ceiling, which must be at least 2.7 meters, so that the shower can be fully used. Installation of the headset, especially embedded, is quite complicated, so for installation it is better to invite a specialist who will make the correct wiring.

There are several varieties of tropical showers. There are four of them, they are divided into two groups: suitable for a shower cabin and for a full bath.

Among them are several options.

• Tropical shower - shower watering. This type is a slightly modified shower for the shower, which is more standard, but slightly less tropical. This unit is also suspended to a great height.
• Mixer with the function of a tropical shower. The watering can of this model has a diameter of 25 centimeters and can be mounted both on the hose and on the stationary pipe at the request of the customer.In the second case, the size of the watering can is more standard, due to the inability to remove it from the mount.

• Shower rack. This system will be an excellent choice for a bath or shower. In addition to the watering can, there is also a lower valve, with which you can easily fill the bath with water. The big top watering can can be installed both on a pipe, and on a hose.
• Shower panel Such models are usually installed in the shower. They are a tropical shower, a standard watering can and a mixer in one housing. In an additional complete set there can be hydromassage jets, giving the chance to change the direction of streams of water. Shower panels can also have built-in LED lighting, which will provide even greater comfort when bathing.

• Inline. This type appeared on the market relatively recently. It practically does not take place on the wall, as it is embedded inside it. From the outside, only a large upper watering can and a bottom mixer are visible. The main part is inside and hidden from view.

Modern plumbing stores have a very wide range of faucets with rain showers. When purchasing a particular installation should take into account some features that are of great importance.

As a rule, first of all, attention is paid to the dimensions of the entire installation as a whole, including the shower and the panel itself. Choose it, focusing on the parameters of the bathroom. The two most important parts of the watering cans are takeaway and irrigation size. Removal parameters set the location of the flow of water - the bigger they are, the farther from the wall will be the shower. In turn, watering is responsible for the width of the flow, the width of the diameter of the watering can depends on it.

The price of a tropical shower system is fully consistent with the quality of the material. Low-cost models are made from powdered metal or plastic, covered with a very thin aluminum layer. It is not recommended to purchase such models, as they quickly wear out, crack and are subject to corrosion.

Expensive plants are made either from copper or aluminum. Unfortunately, copper has proven to be not the most practical option, since it has a predisposition to oxidation. Copper products are covered with a special transparent film to protect them, but if it is damaged, water gets on the material and it gets a green tint.

The best choices are chrome models or stainless steel systems. In addition to the interesting appearance, they have high strength, wear resistance, long service life and relatively low price.

Of course, the quality of products, as well as its price, also depend on the brand. As a rule, well-known manufacturers that are in the top of most ratings make a considerable markup because of their popular name and company reputation.

Designers advise to pay attention to the brand if it is planned to create an interior in the same style or tone.

Installations with the hydromassage feature are considered separate elements of the shower cabin, which make it more functional. They are of two types: circular and point. The first is a separate nozzle in the walls of the shower, the second has a diffuser right on the panel. It is the second type that is most popular for its ease of installation and lower price. However, the hydromassage function itself is lower here than in the circular version, which is not so often found in stores.

Typically, these panels are installed in the shower. There is no need for a full bath in them, as there is a Jacuzzi function for massage.

This feature is very appropriate for many people who are tired at work. It helps to relax and get even more pleasure from swimming. Lamps are mounted inside the panel and in the watering can. In the first case, the panel itself is illuminated, which is very convenient in the presence of digital control, in the second, the light falls in the same direction as the water and illuminates the space beneath.

LED lamps are used for illumination, as they are the safest, however, in case of damage, you will have to change the entire tape.There is also another version of lamps - halogen, which can be changed individually to new ones. However, this type is installed infrequently.

When buying a tropical shower set with a mixer, you should also pay attention to some of the advice of users who leave feedback on the web. If you buy a barbell system, make sure you have a small watering can with a hose, which is convenient to wash the bath. Many manufacturers offer tropical plants with numerous water supply modes, but in the end, a maximum of two or three modes are used. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase a regular watering can, it will be just as practical, but at the same time it will save a considerable amount. The function of the thermostat is not present in many models, but in the case of the purchase of such a unit, be prepared for much higher costs.

It is advisable to use the installation, which is installed on the wallas the models of the built-in installation are not so practical and demand more difficult fastening. You can choose a system not only in form and design, but also in color. Modern shops are tropical shower columns of any color.To create a harmonious interior, it is recommended to pay attention to bathroom accessories in the form of stands for toothbrushes, soap dishes and other decorative elements, which will stylistically complement the system.

After choosing a system with a rain shower, you should decide on the method of installation. There are two of them: wall and ceiling. The first is suitable for wall installations and individual parts that are mounted on a vertical base. The second option is more complex, as it implies a hidden installation. The pipe is passed inside the wall to the ceiling, and from there it is removed either by stoning of the wall, or the foundation of a tropical shower in the niche under the ceiling, which was formed under the suspended ceiling, is installed.

It is necessary to care for panels with a rain shower in a special way so as not to damage the surface of the rack. For example, chrome products are not recommended to wipe with aggressive household chemicals, as it can scratch the surface and chrome dims. Wipe the bar and watering can preferably with a microfiber cloth.If the bathroom has a stainless steel panel, you can not worry about caring for it, because the material is resistant to external damage, does not lose color and shine. Special care is required for copper poles, as they are covered with a sufficiently thin film, damaging which can ruin the appearance of the system due to the susceptibility of the material to corrosion.

Shower racks with rain shower and faucet will be a great addition to any bathroom. They will not only give a unique interior to the room, but also provide a pleasant swim with a massage effect, as well as allow you to relax after a hard day’s work.
