Double shower heads, also known as dual shower heads, offer the benefit of two shower sprays at once. Whether you enjoy a mist-like shower spray or a strong pulsating spray, you are sure to enjoy two shower heads in your shower. Shower heads that can be places in sets of two, can either be attached with a dual shower arm or a shower head bar. These both work in basically the same way. Two single shower heads are screwed onto the ends of the shower arm or shower bar. Some bars are shaped like a letter C, giving an elegant and graceful appearance. This also gives the homeowner the ability to install the shower heads one over the other or side by side. A T-bar shower head fixture is mounted side by side.
A dual shower arm can be adjusted for taller family members, making a dual shower head the favorite for them. Younger children and even shorter adults can also benefit from a dual shower arm. This easily allows for the height adjustment of the shower heads. Handicapped individuals, along with the elderly, find a shower arm makes adjusting the shower heads an easy tool to use. A shower head bar can also be raised using a riser pipe. Shower bars come in several lengths. The length will not make much of a difference in your shower but take into consideration the look and style you prefer.
Shower heads, including double shower heads, come in many finishes to match any bathroom decor. The most common shower head finish is chrome plated. Chrome will be plated over brass or a durable plastic for a shiny finish. Brushed nickel is more expensive and quite beautiful. Finding matching parts for brushed nickel can be difficult though. Polished brass is another optional finish. This finish can give a golden appearance with a high shine. Most brass fixtures will tarnish over time, so keep this in mind when selecting the finish of your choice. There are several types of satin finishes giving a flat finish instead of shiny appearance. There is brass satin, copper satin, and bronze satin finishes available. Often you'll find shower heads in white. These shower heads are usually made of white plastic but occasionally you'll find a brass white coated shower head that is painted.
The longest lasting finish is a titanium gold finish. Durable and better than polished brass, this finish will not corrode. This bright gold finish pleases any bathroom decor while offering a finish that is not affected by the natural elements that surround it. It takes well to the wear and tear of everyday use, giving this finish a thumbs up on approval. Black Nickel is a different color of titanium and offers all of the same benefits as gold titanium finish. No matter what finish you choose, remember that the style of shower head is the most important feature when selecting a double shower head for your personal shower.
