-
Straight Shower Arm
This is one the most common and essential design of a shower arm. The water from your shower head falls directly on you without any interference from other parts except for the curved bar that is used to support its weight. Choose from a round or square shower arm to get the right look for your bathroom. It isalso easy to install and replace.
-
Swivel Shower Arm
It allows you to have more flexible movements of your hand shower when compared with straight ones. This is because it has better manoeuvrability at different angles for various body parts like the back, neck, shoulders, and so on. It is normally short in length, but you can also selectlong shower arms of this style if you prefer.
-
Gooseneck Shower Arm
It features an elegant look that makes it perfect for adding style to any bathroom décor while providing great flexibility while taking a relaxing bath under warm water spray from the shower. As the name suggests, it boasts a gooseneck shape, famous for raising or lowering the shower head depending on your needs. You can buy this type in several amazing finishes, like yellow-gold and matte black shower arms.
Wall-Mounted vs. Ceiling Shower Arm: What’s Your Pick?
Are you in search of a new shower arm? You might be wondering which type to buy amongst the ceiling or the wall-mounted shower arm variety. To make things easier for you, here is a comparison between the two that can help you decide on one best suited for your needs. You should also consider the advantages and disadvantages of each type so that you can make an informed decision.
Here are the key differences between the two types:
-
Visual appeal
In terms of aesthetics, a wall-mounted arm is more visually appealing because it takes up just enough space in your bathroom and does not have an unsightly metal pole looming overhead like a giant question mark. It also makes a great focal point in the room, as its beauty is easily seen.
Ceiling-mounted showers are equally beautiful, especially with the right finishing that does not detract from the overall bathroom décor, like the staple chrome shower arm. However, its wall-mounted counterpart is a better choice if you want your shower to look high-end or luxurious since it allows for more decorative options for the showerhead itself.
-
Controllability
To put it simply, a wall-mounted shower arm is easier to control than a ceiling-mounted one. This is because you have more flexibility in terms of where you put the shower head, and you can move it around more easily.
With a ceiling-mounted arm, on the other hand, you are stuck with whatever spot you have chosen for your shower head. This could be an advantage if you have limited space and need no fuss. It is important to note, however, that some of the newest ceiling shower arm models incorporate technology that allows you to control your water flow with a tap or motion sensors.
-
Cost
When it comes to the installation and plumbing work that is required, a ceiling shower arm can be more expensive. That is because it requires more materials and labour to install.
However, with the shower arm itself, wall-mounted shower arms often get a slightly higher price point because there are more moving parts, which increase its manufacturing cost. Nonetheless, it all comes down to your own preference, so choose as per your requirements.
