Choosing the Right Shower for Your Bathroom
Choosing the right shower starts with knowing how your bathroom is used and how much space you have to work with. Some bathrooms suit a simple overhead shower head, while others benefit from a complete shower system with adjustable hand showers, diverters and integrated controls. At Bathroom International, we help customers match shower types to real-world layouts, not just catalogue photos.
For smaller bathrooms or renovations where plumbing changes are limited, compact shower sets and wall-mounted systems are often the most practical choice. Larger bathrooms and new builds give you more freedom to explore rain showers, dual outlets and walk-in shower designs. Our showroom team in Perth regularly assists homeowners, builders and renovators to find solutions that balance comfort, water efficiency and long-term reliability.
Shower Heads and Shower Systems Explained
Shower heads and full shower systems serve different needs, and understanding the difference can save time and money. A standalone shower head is a simple upgrade that can improve spray coverage or water efficiency without altering pipework. A shower system, on the other hand, combines multiple components like overhead rain showers, hand showers and mixers into one coordinated setup.
Many customers choose dual shower systems for flexibility, allowing you to switch between a rain shower for relaxation and a hand shower for practicality. Thermostatic systems are also popular, maintaining consistent water temperature even when other taps are in use. Bathroom International stocks a wide range of options to suit Perth homes, including solutions designed to perform well with varying water pressure.
Installation Considerations and What to Expect
Installing a new shower can be straightforward or complex depending on the product and the existing plumbing. Simple shower head replacements are usually quick, while complete system upgrades or walk-in showers may require plumbing and waterproofing work. Understanding this early helps avoid surprises during a renovation.
While Bathroom International supplies the products, we work closely with trades and renovators who know what’s required to install them correctly. Our team can guide you on what’s achievable within your space, what may need professional installation, and how to choose products that align with Australian standards and local building requirements.
Shower Screens, Enclosures and Layout Options
Shower screens play a big role in both the look and functionality of a bathroom. Frameless and semi-frameless screens are popular for modern bathrooms, offering a clean, open feel and easier maintenance. Sliding doors work well in tighter spaces, while hinged doors suit larger layouts where access is not restricted.
Glass thickness, door configuration and custom sizing all matter when selecting a screen. Bathroom International offers shower screen solutions that complement our shower ranges, making it easier to create a cohesive design. Our showroom allows customers to see finishes and layouts in person, which helps when deciding between standard and custom options.
Keeping Your Shower Performing at Its Best
Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your shower and keeps it looking good. Mineral buildup, reduced water pressure and minor leaks are common issues that can often be avoided with proper product selection and routine care. Choosing quality components from the start makes a noticeable difference over time.
We stock shower products designed for durability and ease of cleaning, including finishes that resist fingerprints and limescale. If customers experience issues such as fluctuating pressure or worn fittings, our team can help identify whether a replacement part, upgrade or full system change is the best solution.
Design, Finishes and Modern Shower Features
Today’s showers are as much about design as they are about function. Popular finishes like matte black, brushed nickel and brushed brass allow showers to become a focal point rather than a background feature. Walk-in showers and minimalist fittings continue to be strong choices for both renovations and new homes.
Bathroom International keeps up with modern bathroom trends while focusing on products that remain practical for everyday use. From simple upgrades to luxury-style shower experiences, our range is curated to suit Australian bathrooms and lifestyles, with expert advice available both online and in-store.
