Best Luxury Rain Shower Head and Handheld Combination
While rain shower heads can be used alone, they are often installed in combination with other shower heads, handshowers, or body sprays, as part of a custom rain shower system. By pairing a rain shower head with a handheld shower head, you can elevate your bathroom into a luxurious oasis of relaxation.
A waterfall rain shower head with a handheld sprayer system offers a delightful set of showering options. The rainfall showerhead provides full-body coverage, while the handheld shower faucet can be utilized in two ways.

FAQs About the Best Luxury Rain Shower Heads
What is the best height for a rain shower head?
In most cases, a rainfall shower head is installed 84” up from the shower floor, higher than a standard shower head.
How do you increase water pressure on a rain shower head?
Replacing your rain shower head with one built for luxury and performance can often resolve the problem of low water pressure. Cleaning your rain shower head can also help, as calcium and mildew buildup can prevent water from flowing freely. Other common solutions include installing a shower pump or improving your plumbing.
Rainfall shower heads make an excellent addition to existing or new shower configurations, providing an invigorating overhead rinse. However, rain shower heads don’t provide as much of a powerful spray as a standard shower head, so you may be disappointed if a rain shower head is the only sprayer in your shower. We recommend pairing a rain shower head with other sprayers, such as a handheld sprayer, for a more complete and refreshing showering experience.
What is the best way to mount a rain shower head?
Rain shower heads are often ceiling-mounted to allow for the complete rainfall effect. If no plumbing exists in the shower ceiling, rerouting pipes may be necessary to enable this setup. As an alternative to ceiling mounting, rain shower heads can also be anchored to the wall
.
Is a round or square rain shower head best?
The shape you choose for your rain shower head depends largely on the rest of the bathroom design. Square sprayfaces generally work best for modern bathrooms with angular elements, while round sprayfaces tend to pair well with traditional interiors.
Is 2.5 GPM or 1.8 GPM best for rain shower heads?
The ideal flow rate for your rain shower head depends on your preferences and where you reside. Federal regulations cap flow rates at 2.5 GPM, with certain states taking further limitations, such as California at 1.8 GPM. A higher flow rate provides a deeper cleanse, while a lower flow rate offers a gentle drench while saving water.
