Bathroom fixtures and their designs are responsible for the designs of your bathroom and if there is anything that needs an upgrade in order to improve the outlook of your bathroom, it is the shower system. There are a number of different showerhead styles and finishes from which you can choose. One of the most popular choices among customers who prefer a traditional and rustic outlook for their bathroom is oil rubbed bronze fixtures.
Oil rubbed bronze finish for shower systems
Oil rubbed bronze finish is so-called because once the shower fixtures are finished with bronze, they are rubbed either manually or by machines to make the copper shades out. Oil rubbed bronze is also referred to as Tuscan Bronze, Venetian Bronze, and Mediterranean Bronze. This finish is a unique and appealing finish that goes perfectly with other bathroom fixtures. This unique finish, however, varies in shades from manufacturer to manufacturer. This entails that you should buy all your bathroom fixtures from the same manufacturer so that there is no significant variation in color tones.
Types of showerheads
There is a great variation in the types of shower systems and it should help to know about the different types in order to make the best decision for your bathroom. There are differences in bot mounting and functions that must be taken into consideration.
1. Mounting: Wall-mounted showerheads these are showerheads installed into the wall with their plumbing inside it, just like in traditional showerheads. Wall-mounted showerheads, unlike popular assumption, can also be in the waterfall showerhead design. This is where the shower arm and showerhead extend from the wall and are horizontal. These are also installed higher than traditional showerheads.
Ceiling mounted showerheads: while traditional showerheads have their plumbing inside the walls, ceiling-mounted showerheads are installed in the ceiling so their plumbing inside the ceiling. The only problem is that ceiling mounting is more expensive and time-consuming than wall plumbing.
2.Functions:
Unlike most traditional showerheads, there are also more advanced multifunction showerheads that have more features. These features include adjustable shower sprays, steam features, temperature adjustments, LED lighting and much more. In ceiling-mounted waterfall showerheads such a multifunctional adjustable system is not possible because the showerhead cannot be reached.
