Showerheads. Showerheads are the top part of your shower where the water comes out. The perfortions on the nozzle determine the direction and pressure of the water flow. Rainfall. These are oversized showerheads designed to imtate rainfall. Pleasure showers. These showerheads can be set from fine mist showers to powerful jet massages. Most models have about four shower settings ; high end models include a steam shower option. Spinning showerheads. Multifaceted showerheads.

Shower Enclosures. Shower inclosures protect the rest of the bathroom from moisture damage and sream from steam showers. Enclosures range from simple cubicles to large walk in showers.
