In addition to providing people with a comfortable shower experience, showerheads also serve as embellishments for bathroom decoration. There are various types of showerheads, but their application and decoration functions are still different, especially between high-end brands and general brands. Due to the difference in levels, the application and decoration functions of showerheads are significantly different. Today, Dongsheng Bathroom Editor will talk to us about the advantages and disadvantages of concealed and exposed showerheads!

Generally speaking, it can be divided into two categories: wall mounted showerheads, collectively referred to as exposed showerheads, and wall mounted showerheads, referred to as concealed showerheads.

Surface mounted showerhead

Surface mounted showerheads are commonly used types of showerheads in households. The control body of the showerhead, handheld showerheads, etc. are all installed on the reserved water supply outlet on the wall, and the height of the device is limited by the product itself, with some limitations

Advantages:

Surface mounted showerheads are generally composed of shower faucets and handheld showerheads, and there are also types of showerheads and shower columns. The surface mounted showerhead device is convenient and simple, just connect the shower faucet with the reserved hot and cold water inlet on the wall and tighten it. After fixing the shower rod or handheld showerhead seat, it can be used. The price is cheaper than the installation type showerhead.

Disadvantages:

The control body and water supply hose of the exposed showerhead are exposed outside the wall, which is not as visually effective as the concealed showerhead. The showerhead body and shower column also occupy some bathroom space.

Concealed shower

The control panel (valve core) of the concealed showerhead needs to be buried in the wall and connected to the cold and hot water inlet pipes. The water outlet pipe that supplies the showerhead with water is also fully connected inside the wall. After the installation is completed, only the control panel of the showerhead and the overhead showerhead can be seen on the wall, and there is no excess space on the wall, which can effectively achieve a neat and flat decoration of the wall.

Advantages:

DIY free combination, blending to your ideal bathing method. Concealed showerheads can be DIY packages according to individual consumption talents and usage scenarios, to meet the personalized needs of different consumer groups. You can freely adjust different types of shower equipment, including: top spray, side spray, waterfall water curtain, handheld shower, lower water outlet nozzle, etc. This is a shower experience that cannot be replaced by a surface mounted showerhead. After the installation of the concealed shower on the wall is completed, as long as the shower and control switch are left on the wall, it will not occupy too much space in the bathroom, visually displaying a simple and elegant appearance.

Disadvantages:

Because the primary component of the showerhead, the valve core, is buried inside the wall, if there are problems with the valve core after a long period of use, such as water leakage at the valve core interface or dripping from the showerhead, it can be difficult to repair and the wall needs to be opened for repair or replacement.
