The rain shower: a gentle shower of water

What exactly is a rain shower?

The shower head of the rain shower plays an important role. It is fixed in place and much larger than a conventional shower head. This allows the water to fall in fine drops, just like rain, and gently envelop the person showering. Thanks to the size of the shower head, you can relax under the warm water not just with one part of your body but experience and enjoy the feeling of falling rain all over.

There are basically different systems. A ceiling-mounted rain shower is very attractive and extremely elegant, but it very often involves considerable installation work. For this reason, many systems offer a simpler solution in which the rain shower head is held at the right height by suitable pipework. This lets you enjoy the feeling of a rain shower without having to open up your ceiling and lay the necessary pipes.

The advantages of a rain shower at a glance

A rain shower head offers many advantages. As the shower heads are available in round and square versions as well as in various sizes and designs, you can choose the version you prefer. The large surface and above all the very gentle, even fall of the shower water is extremely pleasant for many people. It relaxes the muscles and feels much more intense than a conventional shower or shower head. Imagine standing in warm rain, enjoying the gentle patter and being able to relax completely.

Fun in the rain

The advantages of a modern rain shower head are many and varied. Above all, you benefit from:

- more freedom of movement in the shower

- even, warm rain

- a very relaxing experience

- a shower experience for the whole body

As you can see, it is well worth considering buying a rain shower or retrofitting one yourself. Once you have stood under a good, high-quality rain shower for the first time, you will probably not want to do without the feeling again.

Retrofitting a rain shower: is it possible?

Of course it is possible to have a rain shower retrofitted. In the end, all you need is a different mixer tap and shower head. However, not all showers and shower cabins are suitable for this type of shower. For one thing, you have to fix the rain shower head securely, which very often means drilling into the existing tiles. That alone can cause serious difficulties.

For another, the height of the shower cabin has to match the height of the rain shower so that the bathroom stays pleasantly dry even after a longer shower. For this reason many people prefer complete shower cabins and ready-to-install shower cabins with a rain shower head, as these are designed precisely for these requirements and therefore offer a high level of showering comfort.

A new shower with a rain shower function

If you want a rain shower head of your own without a lot of effort and would rather avoid installing a rain shower in the ceiling, you should look for suitable ready-to-install shower cabins with a rain shower head. These are tailored to the respective requirements and, above all, are easy and straightforward to install. With a new ready-to-install shower cabin with the functions you want, you can upgrade your bathroom quickly and easily without a lot of effort and make showering a real pleasure in future.

This makes your bathroom much more of a place of peace and relaxation, and it can also be modernised in small steps. Make use of the options and find the right complete shower cabin with a rain shower head to suit your taste without a lot of effort. This allows you to make the best use of the space in your bathroom and enjoy the many advantages of a suitable rain shower head even in the smallest of spaces.
