Choosing the Best Shower Head For Your Bathroom Renovation

Posted on June 01, 2022

The bathrooms in your house are essential rooms. They're places where you clean yourself and rejuvenate. Bathrooms should have convenience and style, which is why our team of bathroom renovation contractors at Rose Building Group knows that the best shower head for your bathroom renovation needs to have these qualities as well.

We've come a long way in terms of bathroom design and styles implemented by builders and home renovation companies. And the bathroom shower head has come a long way as well. From having just one water pressure and temperature, today, shower heads offer multiple options. They have variable flow rates, different settings, and even massage settings.

And with so much variety and options, how do you decide which one is right for your bathroom? Luckily, our bathroom renovation contractors have taken the time to outline what to consider and the benefits of various shower head models.

Factors to Keep In Mind

Water Pressure: When choosing a shower head for your bathroom renovation project, one of the most important factors to consider is the water pressure. Shower heads are rated by the pounds per square inch (PSI) of water pressure they can create. The higher the PSI, the more powerful the shower head will be.
Spray Pattern: Another factor to keep in mind when choosing a new shower head is the spray pattern. Most shower heads come in three different spray patterns: pulse, wide, and massage. Pulse spray patterns are great for a pulsing massage-like effect, while wide sprays are perfect for covering large areas. Massage sprays are a combination of both pulse and wide patterns and provide an all-over massage effect.
Flow Rate: One final factor to consider when selecting a new shower head is flow rate. Flow rate is measured in gallons per minute (GPM) and gauges how much water flow you can expect from the shower head each minute. A higher GPM means more water flow and vice versa.

Choosing The Best Shower Head

It comes down to a couple of things. You need to decide what kind of shower head you want, how much you're willing to pay for it and how much space you have. Oh, the decisions!

So what kind of showerhead will suit your bathroom the best?

1. Standard Wall Mount Shower Head - The standard wall mount shower head is one of the most popular types of shower heads on the market. They are easy to install and can be found in a variety of different styles and designs. You can start out with a basic model that does the job. It has multiple settings, but the downside is it doesn't have a handheld sprayer. The upside is that it's not too pricey, and it has enough features to make your shower experience fabulous.

2. Rain Shower Head - A rain shower head is a great choice if you're looking for something that will give you a luxurious shower experience. Rain shower heads are larger than standard shower heads, and they provide a gentle, rainfall-like stream of water. They can be more expensive than standard shower heads, but they're worth the investment if you want to turn your bathroom into a spa-like oasis.

3. Handheld Shower Head - A handheld shower head is a great option if you need more flexibility in your shower. Handheld showerheads come with a long hose that allows you to move the sprayer around, making it easy to rinse off hard-to-reach spots or wash your pet. Many models also come with multiple spray settings so you can customize your showers to fit your needs.

Matthew and his team at Rose Building Group have completed 2 projects for us. A couple of years ago we completed a main floor renovation, which included a complete kitchen reno. Just recently we completed a master bathroom renovation. The work for both projects was impeccable. Really high quality workmanship, and incredible attention to detail.

The quality of the work is truly second to none. What impresses me the most about this company, however, is the people. They are all kind, warm, genuine, and professional. I enjoyed having them in my home, and was very comfortable. It is clear that they are committed to delivering a very high level of customer service and satisfaction through both the work they do, and they way they engage with the client. It's really impressive.

We recently completed our home renovation with Rose Building Group, which included a full renovation of both the interior and exterior of our house. We feel that we could not have picked a better company to do this extensive project. When Matt first came to our house to give us a quote we could tell instantly the professionalism and attention to detail he has when looking at a project. Throughout the entire renovation, Matt was easy to get in touch with, either by phone or email, which made it less daunting on my Wife and I whenever we had questions or wanted to add something. Matt was always upfront whenever issues arose (this was bound to happen during a full renovation of an old house) and always came prepared with possible solutions for us.

His staff always presented themselves as professionals. They were very respectful when speaking to us, and with taking care of our property by cleaning up the interior and exterior before going home every night. We even had neighbours on our street comment on how well our place looked, even during the construction. It was obvious that they are a very hardworking company, dedicated to ensuring a smooth and timely renovation. Rose building group was on schedule, and completed our project by the date discussed by Matt, prior to them beginning.

If you are looking to complete a renovation of your home, rest assured that if you choose Rose Building Group, that you will not be disappointed. You will have a professional company, that will make your home beautiful!

We decided on Rose Building Group for our main floor renovation that started earlier this year. We have nothing but great things to say about RBG and the team.

At the beginning of the renovation we were provided with a renovation schedule so that we knew what would be happening on each day and we were most impressed at the adherence to this schedule. We were also provided a Scope of Work at the beginning of the project and any changes made along the way were clearly outlined.

Their communication during the renovation process was top notch and someone always got back to us very quickly.

Matthew, Settle and entire team were so professional and Alisha, the selections coordinator, was especially helpful and went out of her way to help with some of the finishing choices.

Other than a few things that were delayed beyond their control, this renovation was completed in a very timely manner and is absolutely beautiful. They made our vision come to fruition and we hope to use them again when we are ready to renovate our main bathroom. They made the process of doing a major renovation relatively low stress and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do a major renovation.

Great job RBG- you were all awesome!

Matthew and his team were amazing to work with. They recently completed a full basement renovation for my personal home. I work for Baudit Interior design and have worked with several contractors and was very impressed with their professionalism, correspondence, organization and can do attitude. The whole crew worked efficiently and diligently. They were kind, respectful of us and our home and kept a very tidy work space. The quality of the workmanship and attention to detail was impressive. I would and have recommended them for any future projects.

Matt has a great company with a team of highly skilled craftsmen. We originally contemplated a bathroom renovation project and expanded the scope to include new staircase, hardwood flooring, crown moulding, recessed led lighting throughout and painting top to bottom. Matt’s experience was extremely helpful in that he was able to guide us in making the right choices upfront to help modernize the look of our home. His detailed approach and project management thru his team ensured we got the results we were looking for and the highest quality or workmanship and finish. We are extremely happy with the results and feel like we are in a brand new home but better. Definitely a company to talk to about renovations.

Additionally, Matt and his team adhered to all COVID protocols at all times which was very reassuring given the scope of the project with most of the work over eight weeks occurring during the third wave while we continued to live and work from our home.

I highly recommend Rose Building Group and we will have them back for future renovations.

Rose Building Group completed a living room renovation for me. Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with and very professional.

Matthews team were patient with any questions or concerns I had and took the time to explain what was happening during the project and addressed any concerns. They are very professional and CLEAN.

I really enjoyed working with Matt and his team and I am very pleased with the workmanship from the trades they used.

Matts team also took the time to do some repair work for me that had some damage.

I will use Rose Building Group for my next home renovation
