Plan the Shower Controls Before the Screen Goes In
An overhead spray looks simple once installed, but the mixer, diverter, head, arm and shower screen all need compatible positions. Paradise Kitchens offers showers and fittings to shop online, from square and round heads to handheld sets, adjustable rails and glass panels. Choose the water outlets you want first, then assess the plumbing connections, head clearance and door movement before tiles are finished.
Match shower mixer taps and diverters to the outlets, then compare shower sets and systems and shower screens for the remaining layout.
- Mixer and diverter fittings: One or more outlets need correctly matched control bodies and the intended water routing.
- Overhead sprays: Round and square heads require an arm and position that suit shower height and screen width.
- Handheld washing: Hand showers, flexible hoses and sliding rails allow a different reach from fixed heads.
- Complete shower sets: Some packs pair overhead and handheld pieces, but the included mixer or rough-in may vary.
- Shower screens: Frameless fixed panels and bath screens need accurate finished-opening measurements and suitable safety glazing.
- Replacement pieces: Arms, hoses and wall extensions must match the relevant connection and mounting requirements.
The Caroma Urbane II range includes compact twin showers, whereas Methven Kiri offers rail-shower products. Decide whether you need an overhead head, an adjustable handpiece or both before narrowing the models.
