How to choose a shower set

What you need on the wall, and what each shower needs from the room.

Mixer first

Every head and rail needs a wall mixer to turn it on and set the temperature. For two outlets from one mixer, use the Cannes diverter mixer.

Ceiling or wall arm

The Lyon drops 200 mm from the ceiling. The Bordeaux reaches 384 mm from the wall. Both have a 250 mm head.

Twin rail set

The Corsica rail set is 930 mm tall with a 400 mm arm, and pairs an overhead head with a hand shower on one rail.

Flow

The heads and rail flow at 8.0 L/min and the Versailles hand shower at 8.5 L/min. All are rated 50 to 800 kPa.

Shower questions

Can I get taps with shower head and hose together?

Our showers run from a wall mixer rather than a bench tap. The Cannes diverter mixer runs an overhead head and the Versailles hand shower from one lever.

Can I replace a shower head myself?

We ask for a licensed plumber, to the NZ Building Code (G12): licensed installation is a condition of the warranty, and the arms and mixers connect inside the wall.

What is a handheld shower called?

Usually a hand shower or handheld shower head. Ours, the Versailles, is 200 mm long and flows at 8.5 L/min.

What are the different types of shower mixers?

A single wall mixer runs one outlet; a diverter mixer such as the Cannes runs two from one lever. A rail set like the Corsica has its own diverter on the rail.

Will it fit a low ceiling?

Check the outlet first: the Lyon drops 200 mm from the ceiling, the Bordeaux reaches 384 mm from the wall and the Corsica rail is 930 mm tall. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

Choosing a shower head: NZ outlets, pressure and mixers

A new shower head has to suit the outlet you have, so start with where yours is: in the ceiling, in the wall, or on a rail. Our five shower designs cover each, all in six finishes, with brass and 304 stainless steel bodies and WaterMark licence WM-022555 to AS/NZS 3662.

Ceiling and wall heads

The Lyon hangs 200 mm below a ceiling outlet on a ½″ BSP fitting; the Bordeaux curves out 384 mm from a wall outlet. Both carry a Ø250 mm head that flows at 8.0 L/min. A head that wide spreads the water over a larger area, so the spray feels gentler than a small head at the same flow.

Handheld shower head and rail set

The Versailles is a handheld shower head, 200 mm long, on a Ø55 mm wall outlet with a ½″ BSP connection. If you'd rather have it on a rail with an overhead head, the Corsica puts both on a 930 mm, Ø25 mm rail with a built-in diverter.

Shower mixer: NZ installs and the Cannes diverter

Every head needs a wall mixer to turn it on and set the temperature. The Cannes adds a diverter, so one lever runs two outlets, such as the Lyon overhead and the Versailles by hand; its body needs 55 to 85 mm of depth in the wall, so it goes in before the wall is lined. For a single outlet, the Milano wall mixer does the job.

Finishes

Every shower comes in antique brass, brushed brass, brushed nickel, brushed gunmetal, black and chrome. In a shower, brushed nickel hides water spots better than chrome and gunmetal better than black, which is worth weighing if your water is hard.

Pressure and fitting

All five work from 50 to 800 kPa. If the outlet is close to the ceiling, or you're unsure which arm suits it, send us a photo with the measurements. Choosing a shower compares rails, arms and mixers, and a matching tile insert shower drain finishes the floor.

Every product here has the same cover: 15 years on the body, 7 years on cartridges, valves and moving parts, 3 years on the finish and 2 years on washers, seals and O-rings (tapware warranty). Taps and showers must be installed by a licensed plumber, to the NZ Building Code (G12), for the warranty to apply.
