How to pick the best shower head

Choosing the best shower head depends on pressure, coverage, and how the space gets used. A wide spray pattern gives full-body coverage, while more focused shower heads offer a stronger, more targeted feel. For low-pressure homes, look for models designed to maximise flow. Whether upgrading an older unit or replacing a broken part, it helps to match fittings carefully, especially the connection type. In New Zealand, most shower heads NZ fittings follow standard sizes, making it easy to update these yourself. Find a range of shower heads, parts and accessories at Mitre 10.

Are there different types of shower heads and parts?

Shower heads and replacement parts come in several types, each suited to different setups. Fixed heads mount directly to the wall or ceiling and provide a steady, hands-free spray. Handheld heads attach via hose and fit into a shower head holder, allowing a bit more movement. When you know what shower head type you're working with, you can find the right shower hoses, shower holders, sliders, elbows and shower brackets for your home.
