Types of Shower for 2022
An efficient shower is an asset for your bathroom renovation as it adds curb appeal and flexible function to your daily relaxation. Here we are featuring the major types of showers you can find in the industry, and hopefully, it can help you out.
Manual Shower
When you want to save on your bathroom remodeling total cost, then going for the standard manual mixer shower is a great choice. It works by readily mixing your hot and cold water in a chamber and then flowing out from your shower head.
Often, you have a valve or dial knob to control the flow of hot or cold water, so you can adjust the final water temperature coming out from your shower head. Besides its more affordable cost, installing it comes quicker and simpler than other types.
Electric Shower
Meanwhile, if you don’t have a supply of hot water, then it becomes immaterial for an electric shower. This is highly recommended for those only having a cold main water supply because this shower type comes with a built-in heater, that can raise your water temperature in an instant.
Because most of these units are energy-efficient, your bathroom remodeling total cost will be worthwhile for future sake.

If you want to set your water temperature to a desirable and safe level for your kids, then this shower type best fits your purpose. For those who want a multiple shower head in their newly renovated bath, this shower type will allow you to seamlessly program and set your preferred temperature.
With the modernity of a thermostatic shower, it can lift your average cost of bathroom remodel for outstanding quality and performance.
Hybrid Digital Shower
On the other side, you can incorporate modern technology into your shower remodel by installing digital showers. With this, we can install a control panel around 10 meters away from your shower area, and it’s where you’ll set your preferred water temperature.
Moreover, using the control panel, you can adjust the flow rate of your shower. Digital showers are an amazing breakthrough for your oasis shower makeover while keeping your master bath remodel cost reasonable.

When you choose this shower type, it means you are using water efficiently, because these types are very cost-efficient with water usage and energy consumption. Technically, some of it can spike your average bath remodel cost, yet you have better long-term savings on your utilities.
Factors You Need To Consider in Choosing Your Best Shower
Nevertheless, you also need to acquaint yourself with the essential variables you need to take in before installing the best shower in your remodel.
Cost

If we need to replace your dated fixtures, shower head, and plumbing, then it can substantially increase your full bath remodel cost.
Size of Your Bathroom
After price, you’d need to look into your bathroom space, specifically the size of your walk-in shower and tub area. Rule of thumb, the larger your space, the more money you need to invest for your long-term bathroom renovations.
Nevertheless, Mega Kitchen and Bath can make your makeover highly reasonable with our skilled team, advanced technology, and quality materials. In line, walk-in showers are a cost-efficient choice for you; yet to increase the functionality or salability of your property, it’s best to install a freestanding tub next to your shower.
Current Plumbing and Water System
In making sure your shower remodel is successful, we need to have a clear understanding of your current plumbing and water system. With that, we can quickly find a way to solve the issue and complete your shower and tub upgrades.
- High-pressure system
You have this system when you have a boiler or heating system, yet you lack storage for hot water nor a tank of cold water supply.
- Low-pressure system
It is the common water pressure system present in most households, where your cold water supply is in your loft, while your hot water tank is in your airing cupboard. To resolve your low-pressure status, we can install a pump to increase the flow rate.
- Cold mains system
It’s when you only have cold water rising from your main system, which is fit for your electric shower installation. If the flow rate is low, then we can install a water pump to give enough pressure that meets your requirements.
Different Types of Shower Heads in 2022
Technically, you have an array of options for your showerheads in the market, yet choosing the best fit is a great ordeal. In line, here are the three main types of shower heads for you to choose from in the industry.
Shower Taps

Fixed Shower Head

Nevertheless, we can install a handheld shower to pair with your fixed shower overhead for better functionality. So far, the best flow pattern admired by customers is the rainfall effect.
Portable Handheld Shower
Whether you have kids or just a single professional, getting a handheld showerhead makes a huge difference. Why? Because you can easily manipulate water flow to efficiently rinse your body.
