READ MORE ABOUT OUR Shower Handsets

Add both style and versatility to your shower with our carefully curated collection of shower handset. Whether you're updating a modern bathroom or enhancing a more traditional space, these options offer comfort, control, and convenience in equal measure. From minimalist designs to elegant classics, each piece is crafted to pair beautifully with your existing fixtures while elevating your everyday routine. Easy to handle and built to last, a quality model brings flexibility and finesse to any showering experience.

Understanding Shower Handset

A handset is a practical and versatile component of your shower setup, offering flexibility and control that fixed heads simply can't match. Attached via a flexible hose, it allows you to direct the water exactly where you need it — making it ideal for rinsing, cleaning the shower area, or assisting children, elderly users, or those with limited mobility.

These were created to offer a more adaptable and user-friendly alternative to traditional fixed shower heads. As the needs of households evolved, so too did the desire for fittings that provide both convenience and comfort. The ability to move the head freely means it can cater to a wide range of users and situations — from quick rinses to a more targeted spray for everyday use.

In a family bathroom, a handset can make it much easier to help children shower safely, or to rinse shampoo out thoroughly without soaking the entire space. It's also incredibly useful for cleaning the enclosure itself, allowing you to reach every corner with ease.

They are available in a variety of styles, spray patterns, and finishes to suit both modern and traditional spaces. Whether wall-mounted on a bracket or paired with a slide rail for adjustable height, they are designed to complement the rest of your shower fittings while adding a layer of convenience.

Easy to handle and simple to install, this is more than just a helpful addition — it’s an essential feature for a well-rounded, comfortable, and user-friendly showering experience.

Whether you’re upgrading your existing setup or designing a new shower space, the overflow model ensures a worry-free, seamless experience, combining both form and function in your bathroom.

Additional Paired With Shower Valve

When paired with a shower handset, the shower valve plays a crucial role in regulating the flow and temperature of the water. Designed for precision, the shower valve ensures that you can adjust the water to your exact preferences, providing a consistent and comfortable shower experience every time.

A shower valve controls how much water is released and allows you to easily switch between different outlets, such as a handset, rainhead, or body jets. Valves are available in single, dual, and triple outlet options, depending on your shower setup. A single outlet valve is ideal for those who only require one water source, while dual outlet valves are great for controlling two outlets at once, like a handset and rainhead. Triple outlet valves are perfect for more complex shower systems, enabling you to control three different outlets, such as a handset, rainhead, and body jets.

Available in a variety of finishes, the shower valve not only complements your bathroom’s aesthetic but also enhances the overall performance and durability of your shower system. This essential component adds both practicality and style, ensuring that your showering experience is efficient and enjoyable.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Shower Handset

Choosing the right option can make a big difference to your daily routine. Here are some key things to keep in mind when picking the one that suits your needs best:

1. Spray Settings

Look for one with multiple spray options, such as a gentle mist, rainfall, or a powerful massage. This gives you the flexibility to switch between relaxing and refreshing showers.

2. Material & Finish

Durable materials like brass ensure long-lasting performance and a premium feel. The brushed gold finish adds a touch of elegance, making it a perfect match for bathrooms with a warm, luxurious style.

3. Hose Length

Make sure the hose is long enough for comfortable movement—1.50m is a great standard length, especially useful when rinsing children, pets, or cleaning around the shower area with ease.

4. Ease of Use

A lightweight handset with an ergonomic grip will be easier to handle. Adjustable holders or brackets also help you get the perfect angle for hands-free use.

5. Compatibility

Check that it is compatible with your existing shower system or mixer valve. Most models fit standard connections, but it’s always good to confirm.

6. Water Pressure

Some options work better with high water pressure, while others are designed for low-pressure systems. Choose one that suits your water supply for the best performance.

7. Easy Cleaning Features

Models with rubber nozzles or anti-limescale technology are easier to clean and help maintain strong water flow over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Handsets

What are the flow rate standards for shower handsets?

The flow rate for shower handsets typically ranges from 6 to 12 litres per minute (L/min) depending on the model and water pressure. Modern shower handsets are designed to provide an optimal balance between water flow and water conservation. The flow rate can be influenced by the shower head design, with water-saving handsets offering lower flow rates while still delivering a satisfying shower experience. Always check the product specifications to ensure the flow rate suits your preferences and water system.

Modern shower handsets are designed with water efficiency in mind, with many models featuring flow restrictors or low-flow technology to help conserve water. High-efficiency handsets typically use 6 L/min or less, helping to reduce water consumption without sacrificing performance. These water-saving features can significantly lower water usage and reduce energy bills, making them an environmentally friendly option. Look for products with water efficiency certifications for the best performance.

Water pressure plays a significant role in the performance of a shower handset. Higher water pressures (typically above 1.5 bars) result in stronger water flow and a more invigorating shower experience. Lower water pressures (below 1 bar) may cause weak flow, leading to a less effective shower. For homes with low water pressure, it’s important to choose a shower handset designed for low-pressure systems to ensure optimal performance. Always check the product specifications to ensure compatibility with your water pressure.
