Even after the latest advancements in bathroom and plumbing technology, homeowners still stay loyal to using fixed shower heads. This happens mainly because fixed shower heads stand for all the things a shower head must provide: decorative value, durability and efficiency – all these come in a very simple yet effective metal fixture. Fixed shower heads are still popular because of their simplicity – for instance, you need no extra modules to have your fixed shower head connected, no complicated switches that must be assembled and so on.

Fixed shower heads are designed to be fixed on the higher parts of the bathroom walls in order to provide forceful and hard streams of water that run into multiple streams that become more comfortable and less forceful when touching the bather’s skin.

The high location required by such fixed shower heads is beneficial mainly because it provides more space for more water streams to spread out. This means that a larger area of the body will be covered. Also, this high location will keep the shower head away from the bather’s body especially in the cases where direct impact against the skin can cause injury. Fixed showers are more durable when compared to other types of showers – they require no moving parts. Such moving parts are likely to get worn out quite easily. Also, fixed shower heads come in a wider range of contemporary designs when comparing them with other types of showers.

So, you have more options when looking for the right fixed shower head. Additionally, a fixed shower head will look better in a bathroom space and makes a significant difference especially if you want to emphasize a particular aesthetic feature in your bathroom space.

However, fixed shower heads come with cons as well. For instance, if you have your fixed shower head installed at an improper location/height, your taller family members or guests will find your shower head difficult to use. So, you need to be really careful when placing your fixed shower head in order to choose the right location and height for it. Also, the installation costs involved by fixed shower heads are higher as this process usually involves breaking through several parts of your bathroom space and construct these parts again. Fixed shower heads come with a longer lifespan but this is a more expensive feature when compared to hand held types of shower heads that can offer you a similar performance.
