Whether replacing or installing a new shower head, the perfect piece can transform your daily rinse into a rejuvenating experience, taking relaxation to new levels. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, we know the ins and outs of showers. This guide will lead you to the right shower head, while considering size, quality, finish colours, and mounting options.
Understand the Different Types of Shower Heads
In your quest to select the right showerhead, you’ll come across various types differing in design, functionality, and aesthetics. At Ross’s Discount Home Centre, our selection includes three common types: fixed, hand held, and rain shower heads. Each type offers a unique showering experience and caters to diverse user requirements and preferences.
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.
Hand Held Shower Heads
Hand held showers 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. You have the flexibility to customise the angle and position according to your preferences effortlessly.
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 mounted on the 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.
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. Our extensive range caters to contemporary and traditional aesthetic preferences, ensuring the shower head you select complements your bathroom’s decor. Whether searching for sleek lines and minimalist design or craving the elegance of classical motifs, our collection has various shapes to cater to all.
Round Shower Heads
Round shower heads offer a classic and timeless look that complements any bathroom design. 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 decor.
Hi-Rise Shower Heads
For those who prefer a little extra height in their shower, hi-rise 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 flow and pressure.
Taking these factors into account will help you make an informed decision and enjoy the perfect shower every time.

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 collection offers a diverse range of finishes to complement your bathroom design, from classic chrome to modern matte black.
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 water 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 shower heads 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-mounted 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.
Mounting Options
As mentioned, shower heads are typically mounted 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 luxurious shower experience, with water cascading from above. When considering the mounting option, it’s essential to consider factors such as plumbing, layout, and personal preference.
Wall-Mounted Shower Heads
The most common option, wall-mounted shower heads, requires less installation work. They are typically connected to the shower arm, which extends from the wall and directs water flow.
Ceiling-Mounted Shower Heads
Ideal for rain shower heads, ceiling-mounted options may require more extensive plumbing work. These showers are typically connected to the shower arm, which extends from the ceiling and provides a luxurious overhead water flow.
