Having gained popularity in 2005 and showing little sign of letting up since then, the square shower head has become more available and in many different styles. Unsurprisingly, prices may vary quite a lot depending on what particular brand name you buy, how large the unit is, how many nozzles it has and where you buy it. You can purchase square shower heads at either Home Depot or Lowe’s; there are also quite a few online retailers that sell these units, popular examples being Buy.com, Amazon.com and Overstock.com.
The Best Brand Names And Online Retailers
One of the more affordable brand names that doesn’t often sacrifice features for low cost is Kingston Brass. Kingston Brass produces square shower heads both for regular showers and for hand held showers. If you need a square head for a hand held shower, you can purchase a Kingston Brass Rubber Square Hand Shower with either a polished chrome finish or satin nickel finish for $30 – $35 at online retailer www.comfortmarket.com. Most Kingston Brass square shower heads for regular showers cost $40 to $60.
Delta is another affordable brand name; Most (at least the one’s I’ve seen thus far) of Delta’s shower heads are made using stainless steel, aged pewter or Venetian bronze. A Delta square head shower costs $35 to $100. One online retailer that offers particularly good prices on Delta square shower heads is www.dirtcheapfaucets.com; from there, you can purchase a Delta RP51032 H2Okinetic Technology Water Efficient Shower Head or a Delta RP52143 TouchClean Square Raincan Chrome Shower Head for $36 and $40, respectively.
This LED square shower head exemplifies just how interesting these products can be:
If you prefer high pressure showers, then you may be interested in the pressurized square shower head shower nozzle selling at online retailer Dino Direct for $16. It is a bit harder to find a square high pressure shower head for regular showers; right now the style is to purchase a rain square shower head which, as the name implies, gives the impression that one is standing outside under the rain. These can be installed either on a regular shower or on the ceiling. If you want very high-pressured showers, then your best bet may be to purchase a round shower head; online retailer www.highpressuredshowerheads.com has a number of these that have very high pressure.
If you have a large budget, then there are some fabulous square shower heads that cost in the range of $100 – $500. One striking model is the Square Rain Shower Head made with high tech LED technology. This particular shower comes with a light installed on the inside; the light will be blue if the water is below 113 degrees Fahrenheit and red if the water is between 114 and 121 degrees. The red light flashes if the water is over this temperature. You can purchase an 8-inch square shower head of this nature for $102 and a 12-inch one for $160; these items can be found at eBay.
What To Look For When You’re Shopping
When shopping for a square shower head, you should consider your personal likes and dislikes. For instance, if you like high-pressure showers, then you would most likely not want to get a rain shower head, as these are not as high pressure as other models, favoring broader water coverage over brute power. If you are unsure of how much pressure the shower head has, then you may want to ask a salesperson at the shop or simply consult any products manuals that you can find at the manufacturer’s website. If you intend to purchase the shower head online, then check to see if the online retailer has live chat set up on their site. Many sites provide this helpful service, providing valuable information for your consideration in real-time!
Also, note whether the shower head you are purchasing can be used with a regular shower. Some must be installed in the ceiling and require hiring a professional plumber, while others can be installed by the homeowner no matter how large or small the shower.
