Fittings for your new shower stall can be chosen from an array of styles
and finishes. Chrome has been the finish of choice for many years,
but brass, bronze, pewter, and nickel have become popular of late.
Polished, satin, or brushed finishes are available, and fittings can
harmonize with the style of your bathroom — traditional, Victorian,
contemporary, or rustic. Shower fittings now come with multiple and
varied height showerheads and adjustable body jets and sprays. These
may also be configured as jetted panels or shower towers. Some are
available with minimal attachments which work well for a remodel in an
existing shower. While you might enjoy going through a "car wash,"
these units do use a lot of water! These fittings may require
oversized supply lines and a dedicated hot water heater.
Existing shower fittings can be upgraded by replacing a showerhead or
adding a hand-held shower with adjustable height. Oversized
showerheads create a warm "rain shower" while a single showerhead can be
adjusted to produce a pulsating and massaging spray. These options
are far less expensive than rebuilding the whole shower stall. Along
with the fitting upgrade, add a bright new shower curtain and a new
curtain rod, and the whole appearance of the bathroom changes.
A Showerhead Sprays a Gentle Water Shower

Special fittings are made to fit "the old claw tub" and make it usable as
a shower. The showerhead on a water supply pipe is attached to the
tub faucet and a "ring" shower curtain rod allows a shower curtain to
fully surround the tub.
Shower stall safety is an important concern. Pressure-balancing
valves can help prevent scalding if someone uses water nearby while you
are in the shower. Thermostatic valves can help maintain preset
water temperatures. Grab bars, suitably located and installed, can
provide assistance entering and exiting a shower, and can help prevent
falls.
