Shower faucet - at what height should it be mounted?

A pleasant and relaxing shower should never be in an uncomfortable position or with any movement restrictions caused by installing a faucet in the wrong place in the bathroom. It is good if the tap is at such a height that both an adult and a child can easily turn on the water.

To find out at what height a shower faucet should be installed, it is worth checking the height of other households with whom you share a bathroom. It should be comfortable to use for both short and tall people.  

The most commonly chosen installation height of the mixer itself is 110-130 cm from the floor (i.e. tile or tray, depending on the type of shower). As for the battery, it should be at a height of about 180 cm from the floor - this height guarantees free movement in the paddling pool while swimming.

However, if you are not sure if the selected height will suit all households, including children, so that they can use the battery without problems, choose a height-adjustable model that will help you change the height of the tube. holder.

So, how much should you bet when choosing this supplement? 

It can be assumed that a suitable height for installing a rain shower is between 210 and 220 cm from the floor. Why so high? A rain shower needs to be taller than a traditional shower head because of the need to properly "separate the falling drops" for them to have a rain shower-like effect - and they need a bit of free space before they touch the body.

It is important to note that if someone in the household is exceptionally tall, the rain shower should hang even closer to the ceiling - preferably as soon as the height of the ceiling allows. A good solution here is a ceiling-mounted rain shower, which (as the name suggests) mounts just below the ceiling, giving an even better raindrop effect.
