Hand held shower fixture on a slide bar
I am having guest/office bathroom remodeled. Getting rid of tub and installing shower in it's place. There will be a glass panel but no door at this time. We'll block for one in case we change our mind on that later. As far as the shower fixtures go, I'm thinking of installing just 1 fixture - a hand-held shower on an adjustable bar. I don't have one anywhere else in the house and I haven't used one. Question is - does the shower head stay put really well when it's in a fixed position? I would want it to aim where expected when turning on the water, especially bc there will be no door.
My other option is to install a rainhead on a shower arm and a seperate hand-held and add a diverter. But if the one fixture will do it I'd prefer that. TIA.

Autor originalhace 5 añosSo, while you're showering, does the shower head part of the hand-held stay firmly in place? My regular hand held (not on a slide bar) in my master always seems to be in different position, sort of sagging or tilting this way and that, so that's why I'm asking.

hace 5 añosIf you buy a good quality one, it will stay in place! I used ones from Jaclo and very happy with them. They also function as grab bars when installed correctly. Get a longer bar to allow short kids and tall adults to shower comfortably. I used a 48" bar in my master shower and 36" bars in other showers.

You will pay more for Jaclo than some shower bar at home depot, but you will get a quality durable product.

Autor originalhace 5 añosSo many details. I have another question about the handshower on bar. Our tub to shower conversion will only have a glass panel, no door. Can I angle the handshower to spray more down than out? Or does the adjustment only control the height?

hace 5 añosI have Danze nourish handshower on their slide bar and no complaints in 3.5 years. It is our primary family shower. You can adjust on a few different pivot points and there is an adjustment screw you can tighten if it gets loose. We only have adjusted that once in our ownership.

hace 5 añosNot all Slide bars with adjustable hand showers are grab bars. It has to say so and give the amount of weight it supports. Delta has both regular Slide bars with adjustable hand showers and adjustable slide bar/grab bars. You can buy it assembled or pick your own parts to pick the shower head you like. I liked a longer shower/grab bar and searched the Delta site for their longer grab bars and the separate hand shower mount and separate hose and elbow.

Autor originalhace 5 añosThanks, those are great resources. My contractor said he would waterproof the whole floor, but I'm sure yet what materials/method he is planning to use. He's coming up next week. It's a tiny tiny area, so there's not much room from the door to the shower (like 30 inches) because it's just a toilet and a shower. The sink/vanity is in the bedroom (hotel style), but it's sort of around a corner, so not really smack dab in the bedroom. It's a pretty room, but the bathroom is horrible. I am in the planning phase right now (I'm following the Houzz Story about the phases of converting from tub to shower), so I will start new posts for my other questions. Thanks again!

hace 5 añosMine is Grohe. I'd had one 25 years in our former house with no issues or problems (other than replace the metal hose a couple of times, a diy), so didn't hesitate to include in two showers here.

hace 5 añosSame here - Grohe - 2 shower sprayers as our main shower heads for 21+ years. Will do the same thing in the new house. No issues with them moving at all. (In fact, I don't think I could go back to a "fixed" shower head)
