1. Quality basic materials
The basic material or best material suitable for showers is brass. Why? Because brass is known to be water resistant, it does not rust or corrode easily.

However, when choosing a shower, you need to be careful and thorough. Because currently many showers are made from babet, which is a mixture of tin and iron. So, how do you find out? There are two ways to do this, namely by splitting the shower in two so that you can see the inside, and through user experience. If the shower is made of babet, problems will often occur and it will rust quickly so it cannot be used for a long time.
There are also showers that are coated with chrome to give a luxurious impression and shiny effect. It's best to choose a shower that has a thick chrome coating. Chrome layers generally have a thickness of over 5 microns. The results won't disappoint either!
2. Pay attention to the size of the shower

The shower used must be appropriate to the size of the bathroom and the needs of your family members. It's best to choose a shower whose height can be adjusted, especially for the head shower. If the height can be adjusted, then the shower can be used by everyone. Generally, the standard shower height is 2 to 2.30 meters.
The size of the hand shower also needs to be adjusted. Choose a hand shower that has a minimalist model so it is easy to hold when using. It may seem trivial, but this really affects the comfort of your bathing activities.
On the spout of the faucet, pay attention to the distance between the sizes. Yes, the distance of the tap spout will affect your rinsing activities, ablution is one of them, so that it is more comfortable and not too close to the bathroom wall.
3. Types and Functions of showers
There are various types of showers that you need to know about. Starting from head showers, hand showers, faucet spouts, and jet washers. Each shower has its own function.

For example, a head shower makes bathing easier because you just have to stand under the shower and the water will flow over your body. Then, hand showers are considered more flexible and can be adjusted to our wishes. Meanwhile, the tap spout makes it easier for us to perform ablution, and the jet washer is for cleaning bathroom spaces that cannot be reached by the tap spout.
It's best to use a shower that can accommodate the needs of all family members, such as the GB Sanitaryware mixer shower set which consists of a head shower, hand shower, tap spout, hanger, and shelf or shelf for placing bath equipment. This mixer shower set can be said to be a smart shower because it is multifunctional and can accommodate all the needs of family members.
4. Best features

Next is the temperature control feature to help you determine whether to shower with cold water or hot water. With this feature, bathing activities will be more comfortable and enjoyable, especially when the weather changes. Another feature that is no less important to have in a shower is a water filter. This feature functions to filter dirt so that the water that comes out of the shower is clearer and of better quality.
5. Design suitability
Choose a shower that matches the granite or bathroom concept. This harmony will make the bathroom and shower look harmonious and unified. That's right, it's not just a matter of function, but the appearance and fashion of the bathroom can improve the quality of the bathroom and influence your mood before you move.

6. Spare parts available
Because shower prices vary quite a lot, make sure the shower you choose has complete spare parts so that if at any time there is a problem or damage it can still be replaced, then returned to normal use.
Choose a shower brand that provides ½ inch nepples so you don't need to buy them separately. In general, the distance between the AS shower holes is ½ cm. Meanwhile, the distance between the AS holes for hot water and cold water is 15 to 17 cm.
7. Guaranteed
What is no less important, choose a shower that has a guarantee. If technical problems occur, you can directly contact customer care via customer service. Usually, guaranteed products also provide spare parts, making it easier, safer and more comfortable for you to use them.
