One trend that I've noticed in recent months is nature based bathrooms. Home owners are doing things such as putting in shower stalls and wall panels which are made out of, or at least seemingly to be made out of rocks. They're putting flora inside their restrooms and adding skylight windows. And perhaps the hottest fixture in nature themed bathrooms is the waterfall faucet.
Have you ever bathed in a waterfall? I mean a real one. Well, I have. It's an invigorating and fun experience. A waterfall shower head attempts to bring that experience to your bathroom, mimicking the wide and thick outflow of water that comes from a waterfall. Whether you are trying to reconnect with nature, or just want an invigorating drench, or simply like the aesthetic value of a waterfall, getting this type of shower head can help you achieve it.
A waterfall shower head works by diffusing the force of water flow and shaping the water in to a wide stream. It is able to achieve this with the unique shape. Instead of leaving the head through many tiny holes like in a traditional spout, water leaves through one long linear hole. Since the water is poured, and not sprayed, it can deliver larger amounts of water per second than its traditional counterparts.
Waterfall shower heads have a unique shape, the head is usually shaped like a cylinder or long rectangle. Some just screw onto the existing base. These have a T-like shape. Some are installed directly in the shower stall wall via a console like fixture, or are just simply cut out and lined with a plate fixture.
You will find that some of the models out there are adjustable, so you can change the water pressure and the way the water flows. This is great for those who just want to take a traditional shower, or for those who live with other people that may have different preferences.
Another benefit of waterfall shower heads that you may enjoy is they are much easier to clean. This is due to the single large gaping hole that they have. It's simply easier to get in and out of with a cleaning utensil. Contrast this to the multiple tiny holes in a traditional shower head. These are simply not easy to get in and out of with a cleaning utensil and they are therefore susceptible to things such as the build up of lime, soap scum, and bacteria.
Water fall shower heads look great in oil rubbed bronze. The rustic, dark color of oil rubbed bronze bathroom faucet fixtures and shower heads really goes well with the overall message of a nature themed bathroom. To learn more, visit http://oilrubbedbronzebathroomfaucet.org.
