The New Tranquil Rainfall Shower Collection: Transform Your Bathroom into a Sanctuary
When it comes to your bathroom design, the importance of a perfect shower cannot be overstated. It’s not just a space to wash up at the beginning or end of the day, but it also serves as a place to recenter, recharge, and enjoy a moment of tranquility in your own personalized space. With the right setup, your shower can offer not just functionality, but also a luxurious experience that enhances your daily routine. The Tranquil rainfall collection is our latest series of shower systems, designed to bring a spa-like experience into the comfort of your own home.
What Is a Shower System?
At its core, a shower system encompasses the various components that make up your shower – including the shower head, faucet, valves, and various combinations. However, the functionality and luxury of your shower extend far beyond these basics. Modern shower systems offer a range of features designed for unparalleled comfort and style. From rainfall shower heads with handheld wands that offer luxury and convenience to thermostatic systems that provide precise temperature control, the possibilities to create a spa-like shower are endless.
Meet the Tranquil Collection
Our Tranquil collection blends innovation and elegance, offering an array of shower systems to transform any bathroom into a serene retreat. This versatile collection extends beyond the basics, featuring configurations with dual or single rainfall shower heads that can be ceiling or wall-mounted, to options that include the convenience of handheld showers and shower body jets to add a layer of luxury, simulating a spa-like massage right in your own shower. You can also choose between thermostatic valves for consistent temperature control or manual valves for easy functionality. Some configurations also incorporate single or dual grab bars for added safety and convenience.
With a focus on sleek modern designs and a nod to timeless vintage inspirations, every piece in the Tranquil collection is meticulously crafted. Not only does it aim to meet your aesthetic preferences with its variety of shapes – including both round and square designs – but it also promises a shower experience that can be both calming and invigorating. Whether you want a setup that’s more minimalistic, embracing the simplicity of a single rain shower head, or more elaborate, incorporating the full suite of features, the Tranquil collection has the versatility to accommodate your unique vision for the perfect bathroom retreat.
The Components of a Shower System
Since the Tranquil collection features a range of components, understanding each element will help you customize your shower to match your exact preferences and needs. In the next section we’ll break down the following components to help you find the perfect shower system for your needs:
- Types of Showers
- Shower Head
- Hand Shower
- Handles
- Valve
- Finishes
Types of Showers
Manual Showers
Imagine having ultimate control over your shower experience. That’s the beauty of a manual shower. You adjust the water temperature and flow with either a single handle or traditional dual handles to find just the right settings. While manual showers are simple to use, they also mean that you might encounter some unexpected shifts in water temperature or pressure. Ever get a sudden jolt of cold or hot water because someone else in the house decided to use the water? That’s thanks to a classic manual shower. If you have a shared space this is something to keep in mind, but for a no-frills approach that offers direct control, manual showers are your go-to.
Thermostatic Showers
While manual showers offer straightforward control, thermostatic showers maintain your desired water temperature through advanced technology. Thermostatic showers work by adjusting the water flow to offset any changes that might occur, so that the temperature remains consistent throughout the length of your shower. These systems typically come with multiple handles for fine-tuning both temperature, flow, and other features to provide a perfect blend of safety and luxury. Especially beneficial for families with children, thermostatic showers eliminate the worry of sudden hot or cold spurts, ensuring a safe and comfortable shower every time. Plus, the ability to set and forget your preferred temperature adds a touch of indulgence to your daily routine.
Body Jet Showers
Nothing infuses your shower space with a feeling of luxury quite like body jets. Integrating spa-like features into your shower has never been easier, and selecting a system with body jets is a great way to create a more indulgent, serene space. These nozzles offer a targeted water spray, simulating a gentle massage and transforming routine showers into blissful, wellness-focused experiences. Beyond the luxurious feel, body jet showers offer benefits, like customizable massages to relieve stress and soothe sore muscles, turning your shower into a therapeutic session. This can be especially helpful for post-workouts or to promote relaxation after a stressful day.
The Tranquil shower systems include options with either three or six body jets, catering to both small and large spaces. You can choose square body jets for a modern look or round jets for a more classic style, allowing you to match the design to your bathroom's decor seamlessly.
Types of Shower Heads
Fixed Shower Heads
As the name suggests, a fixed shower head mounts permanently to either the shower wall or ceiling, offering a seamless and stationary installation. Keep in mind that ceiling-mounted options will require specialized plumbing but are ideal for creating an immersive rainfall experience.
Whether you're in search of the best shower heads for an invigorating morning rinse or a relaxing evening escape, our shower systems feature a variety of waterfall and dual shower head styles. Each shape offers a distinct aesthetic to suit a variety of bathroom designs.
- Round Shower Heads: Round shower heads are not only versatile but also embody a sense of timeless appeal. They effortlessly harmonize with both modern and classic styles, making them a versatile choice for contemporary, Scandinavian, or traditional bathrooms. Consider pairing a round shower head with mixed metal finishes or classic white subway tiles for a look that transcends trends. Their organic curves can soften the overall appearance of the bathroom, making the space feel more inviting.
- Square Shower Heads: Square shower heads are the epitome of contemporary bathroom design. Their clean lines and minimalist form bring a sleek, modern look that's ideal for contemporary spaces. These shower heads work exceptionally well in bathrooms adorned with geometric patterns, monochromatic color schemes, or industrial elements like concrete and metal. The distinct shape of square shower heads can also help create a bold statement, especially when contrasted with softer bathroom features.
- Gooseneck Round Shower Heads: The gooseneck round shower head offers an effortlessly charming touch, ideal for bathrooms that showcase vintage, mid-century modern, or classic decor. Its unique, curved shape provides a beautiful focal point, reminiscent of retro styles while delivering modern-day functionality. Pairing this look with farmhouse styles, antique brass fixtures, or a clawfoot tub can enhance its charm, creating a lavish retreat that invites relaxation.
Handheld Shower Heads
Handheld shower heads, also known as shower wands, offer excellent flexibility and convenience for your space. They typically sit mounted on the wall by a bracket and are detachable for targeted use, making them indispensable for thoroughly rinsing off, washing pets, or keeping your shower space clean.
The Tranquil collection offers a variety of handheld shower head designs, including round, wand, and square. These handheld showers not only enhance the functionality of your space but are also designed to cater to different aesthetic preferences.
Mounting Types
Choosing the right mount for your shower head is crucial for achieving the perfect shower experience. Wall-mount installations are the most common choice, offering versatility in design with numerous shower arms styles. Alternatively, ceiling-mounted shower heads provide an overhead water flow that mimics the soothing sensation of rain or a waterfall. While ceiling mounts are known for their soothing rainfall effects, our shower systems also offer wall-mounted rainfall shower heads, so you can experience a lavish experience regardless of your installation preference.
Different Customizable Options
Handles
More than just a functional feature of a shower system, the handles can greatly impact the overall look and feel of your bathroom. Different shower handle designs are available to complement diverse bathroom designs and style preferences:
- Square Handles: These handles boast a sleek, angular design that complements a modern or industrial bathroom aesthetic with their crisp, clean lines.
- Round Handles: Offering timeless versatility, round handles fit seamlessly with both contemporary and traditional decors, thanks to their soft, organic curves.
- Metal Cross Handles: For those seeking a touch of nostalgia, metal cross handles feature a vintage-inspired look that adds character and a comfortable grip for adjusting shower settings.
Valves
A shower valve is an essential component that’s designed to control the water flow and temperature. They typically come with a diverter that allows you to switch the various components of your shower system, like the shower head, faucet, jets, etc. The two most common types are either a manual mixer valve or a thermostatically controlled valve, both of which come in different design styles to match your personal aesthetic.
- Square Valves: With minimalist style and clean lines, square valves work well in modern, sophisticated bathrooms.
- Round Valves: These valves provide a softer, more organic appearance, blending well with various bathroom styles from contemporary to classic.
Finishes
The finish of your shower hardware can dramatically influence the ambiance of your bathroom. Whether you want to create a more cohesive look or pursue the trend of mixed metals, the Tranquil collection offers different finishes to complement any style:
- Brushed Brass: Warm and inviting, brushed brass finishes add a rich, golden hue to your shower, evoking timeless sophistication.
- Chrome: For a timeless, versatile look, chrome offers a bright, reflective finish that pairs well with any color scheme.
- Matte Black: Bold and modern, matte black finishes provide a striking contrast, perfect for contemporary or minimalist designs.
The Perfect Products to Go with Your Shower System
Once you choose the right rainfall shower system for your space, you may want to consider additional components that will complete and elevate your renovation project. Here are a few key elements to enhance your shower:
Shower Bases
A crucial yet often underestimated part of any shower area, the shower base acts as the foundation of your shower that waterproofs the floor beneath your feet. Its sloped design ensures efficient water drainage, making it an essential piece to keep your shower dry and reduce the risk of mold. Installed directly onto the subfloor, shower bases come as a single, solid piece, offering a seamless look.
While traditional tile and grout are an alternative option to waterproof your shower floor, this involves additional work to prep the area before tile can be laid down. Whereas shower bases encompass all layers needed in one single piece without the complex steps needed for tile. But that’s not the only area where shower bases shine. Here’s a closer look at the key benefits of choosing a shower base:
- Ease of Installation: Often seen as a more straightforward DIY project than tiling, shower bases can also be quickly installed by professionals, making them a time and cost-effective option.
- Minimal Maintenance: Compared to tiled floors, shower bases are easier to clean, with fewer crevices for mold and mildew to hide.
- Material Choices: While acrylic is favored for its affordability and durability, stone composite and fiberglass options are available for those seeking different aesthetics.
Shower Walls
The walls of your shower also play a role in both the functionality and style of your bathroom. Not only do they help waterproof your shower space, but depending on the pattern and material, you can create a bold, moody look or a more minimalist ambiance. Shower walls are available in the following installation options:
- Alcove Shower Walls: Seen in more traditional bathroom layouts, alcove shower walls are designed to fit within a three-walled space. This is versatile option can accommodate either a walk-in shower or a tub and shower combo.
- Corner Shower Walls: Since these are specifically designed for two-wall corner installations, this option is excellent for smaller bathrooms and allows you to maximize space without sacrificing style.
Shower Doors
Glass shower doors not only elevate the appearance of your shower space, but they also offer more practical purposes. They help keep water contained within the shower area and can make a small bathroom feel larger due to the transparency of the glass. Shower doors are also a more sustainable option compared to shower curtains that need to be frequently replaced. Glass shower doors come in a wide variety of designs, finishes, and glass options to bring a luxurious look and feel to your bathroom.
Styles to Consider:
- Bi-Fold Shower Doors: Unique and stylish, bi-fold showers feature two glass panels that hinge inward or outward, saving space while providing easy accessibility.
- Bypass Shower Doors: This style of door features two glass panels that slide past each other on tracks for entry into the shower from either side.
- Hinged Shower Doors: A classic option that swings open, hinged doors are suitable for larger bathrooms, offering a spacious entrance to your shower.
- Pivot Shower Doors: Pivot doors rotate on a pivot hinge, allowing flexibility in installation and a wide opening that’s suited for a variety of bathroom layouts.
- Screens: For a sleek, modern look, shower screens are fixed to one side of the shower wall providing a contemporary walk-in design.
- Sliding Shower Doors: Ideal for smaller spaces, sliding doors require no clearance to open and can accommodate a wider range of shower sizes.
- Swing Shower Doors: Similar to hinged doors but with the capability to swing both inwards and outwards, swing doors offer versatile entry options for any shower setup.
By including a shower base, shower door, and shower walls in your bathroom makeover, you can create a functional and stylish shower area that seamlessly complements your rainfall shower system. Remember, a great bathroom renovation balances aesthetics with practicality, ensuring your space not only looks beautiful but also meets your daily needs.
