Types of Shower Head Arms

Fixed Shower Arms: Offered in round and square profiles, the fixed shower arm ceiling support and wall structures provide stability and support. Attached directly to the shower wall, these fixtures offer a secure mounting point that ensures the shower system remains in place even with years of prolonged usability.

Once installed, the wall shower arm provides a sturdy foundation, preventing sagging, wobbling, or shifting of the overhead shower. This stability ensures consistent water flow and coverage, enhancing the overall shower experience. Installation of a fixed shower arm is relatively straightforward and involves attaching the arm securely to the shower wall using mounting brackets or hardware, ensuring proper alignment and support for the shower head.

Wall Mounted Shower Arms: The wall mounted shower arm is attached directly to the wall, providing a stable mounting point that can be adjusted to suit various preferences. Offering versatility and adjustability, these fittings can be installed at any preferred height, depending on spatial limitations and personal requirements.

The selection offers the extra long shower head arm which provides increased reach and flexibility. A selection offers a straight design while some feature slightly curved, swan neck structures with universal suitability to most standard shower systems. These arms extend further from the wall than standard designs, providing added reach and flexibility.

Ceiling-Mounted Shower Arms: A ceiling mount shower arm offers a luxurious and spa-like shower experience, suspending the shower head from above to create a gentle rainfall effect. These arms are attached directly to the ceiling, providing a stable mounting point that allows the shower head to hang freely. By positioning the head above, these arms simulate the sensation of standing beneath a gentle rain shower, providing a soothing and therapeutic showering experience.

The ceiling mounted shower head arm comes in various lengths and designs to accommodate different shower configurations and room heights. Installing this fixture may require additional support structures, such as mounting brackets, to ensure stability and proper water flow.
