Understand the Different Types of Shower Heads
When selecting the perfect showerhead for your bathroom, you’ll encounter a variety of designs, functionalities, and styles. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer a diverse selection that includes four popular types: fixed showerheads, rain showerheads, double showerheads, and handheld showerheads. Each type delivers a distinct showering experience, catering to a wide range of user needs and preferences. We also sell shower roses and shower arms separately for a customised shower experience.
Fixed Shower Heads
Wall-mounted fixed shower heads are the most commonly used type. They combine a shower arm and a shower head, offering a range of styles. Found in the majority of homes, they provide a steady stream of water. With the ability to easily adjust the angle and position, they can be customised to suit your preferences.
A fixed shower head is more affordable than a double shower head, which requires additional plumbing.

Rain Shower Heads
For a luxurious and soothing bathing experience, rain shower heads are the way to go. Available in various styles, they can be installed on a bathroom wall or ceiling, providing a gentle rainfall-like flow of water. It’s like stepping into a tropical rain shower right in your bathroom. This popular replacement option enhances your space and creates a modern environment.

Double shower heads
If you want the best of both worlds, consider installing a double shower head in your bathroom. Also known as twin showers or dual shower heads, this option offers the convenience of having two shower heads in one space. A higher flow rate allows for a more satisfying and efficient shower experience. Plus, you can choose between different spray patterns for added comfort.
Double shower heads usually comprise a fixed shower head and a handheld shower head, providing the perfect blend of both traditional showers and handheld shower heads.
Hand Held Shower Heads
Handheld shower heads offer greater flexibility as they are attached to a flexible hose. This makes them perfect for families with children and pets or for cleaning the shower area with ease. With a handheld shower, you have the flexibility to customise the angle and position according to your preferences effortlessly.
Consider the Shower Head Style
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we appreciate that style goes hand in hand with functionality when choosing the perfect shower head for your bathroom. Our extensive bathroom tapware range caters to contemporary and traditional aesthetic preferences, ensuring the shower head you select complements your bathroom’s decor. Whether you are searching for a sleek design with a minimalist aesthetic or craving the elegance of classical motifs, our extensive collection has various shapes to cater to your bathroom.
Round Shower Heads
Round shower heads offer a classic and timeless look that complements any bathroom space. They are available in various diameter sizes, making them versatile and adaptable to different spaces.
Square Shower Heads
Square shower heads have gained popularity in recent years with the rise of industrial-style bathrooms. They offer a uniquely bold, geometric look that adds character to any bathroom. With various finishes available, such as black or stainless steel, cube shower heads can effortlessly fit into any bathroom design style.
Hi-Rise Shower Heads
For those who prefer a little extra height in their shower, hi-rise or gooseneck shower heads are the perfect choice. These offer an elevated position for the shower head, allowing for a more powerful and immersive experience. You can get hi-rise shower arms in a round or square design to match your shower head.
Size Matters
We understand the importance of size in creating the desired shower experience. From compact and economical to grand and luxurious, our various sizes can accommodate any space and cater to different user preferences.
While larger showers provide broader coverage, they might require more water to deliver a truly indulgent showering experience. It is important to choose a model that suits your preferences but also consider the plumbing capacity of your home to ensure optimal water pressure and flow.
Taking these factors into account will help you make an informed decision and enjoy the perfect shower every time.

Investing in a high-quality showerhead from Ross’s Discount Home Centre ensures a consistently satisfying showering experience and reduces the need for frequent replacements.

Colours & Finishes
Whether you’re looking for matte black, brushed gold, chrome, stainless steel, or other popular finishes, matching your shower tapware colour with other bathroom fixtures is essential. This not only ensures quality but also enhances the overall design.
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, our diverse range offers the perfect tapware finish to complement all bathroom designs, from classic chrome to modern matte black shower heads.
Water Efficiency
Water efficiency is not just a cost-saving measure but also our collective responsibility towards the environment. One of the ways to ensure water efficiency, especially in shower heads, is to consider their WELS rating. The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme provides a rating system that assists consumers in making informed choices about the efficiency of products they buy.
Shower heads with a higher WELS rating are designed to conserve water without compromising the quality of your shower experience. They achieve this by directing water more efficiently, enabling a satisfying experience while using less water.
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, our range of modern showerheads includes models with high WELS ratings, ensuring that you can enjoy a refreshing shower and conserve water at the same time.
Shower Arm
A shower arm plays a critical role in a complete showering experience. They are fundamental components that connect the water supply to the head, facilitating the flow of water.
Shower arms can be either wall or ceiling-mounted, depending on the type of shower head and the overall bathroom layout. They are also designed to complement the aesthetic of your shower head, providing a cohesive look in your bathroom.
When choosing a shower arm, it is essential to consider its compatibility with the shower head you have selected, the required installation process, and the finish to ensure it matches your other bathroom fixtures.
At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we offer an array of shower arms to suit all showers, ensuring a seamless fit and premium performance.
Installation Options
As mentioned, shower heads are typically installed in one of two ways: wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted. They may come as one piece, ready for installation, or as a stand-alone head requiring a shower arm for mounting.
Wall-mounted showers are the most common and can often be adjusted for height and angle. Ceiling-mounted showerheads provide a unique and spa-like experience, with water cascading from above. When considering the mounting option, it’s essential to consider factors such as plumbing, layout, and personal preference.

Other Considerations
When choosing shower heads, there are a few other factors to consider. For example, some shower heads offer adjustable spray settings for a personalised experience, while others have built-in water filters for improved water quality.
It’s also important to consider maintenance and cleaning. Some shower heads may require more frequent cleaning or replacement of replaceable parts.
