Design Dilemma Bathrooms

hand held shower bar

7 years ago

Building small shower (36x36) and installing a hand held shower bar with controller and valve . Want the hand held to be adjustable. Thought about Grohe, Kohler or Moen. Contemporary design. Need faucet and accessories that blend.

Need help.

I’m going with the Kohler bar and handheld which was highly recommended for both style (I’m also doing a modern bathroom) and function (the handheld slides up and down seamlessly).

can you clarify what you have or haven't liked about things you found on your own? I mean, I can run a search, but...

Many manufacturers offer a combination hand held shower bar/ grab bar, like this one from Delta:

Thanks Karen. I have Moen in one of my bathrooms and it has worked well for 5 years but I'd like something more contemporary. I have looked at the Kohler Awaken bar in chrome with hose and shower head attached and I like the Grohe Euphoria bar with the Eurosmart trim. I've only seen these online (home depot under $100 each) The rough in valve for the Grohe doesn't get good reviews. Anyone have experience with any of these?

Karen, does the Kohler shower head adjust up and down so you can angle it to direct the water?

After looking at many options, I selected the Hansgrohe 27185001 Croma 220 Shower pipe. Note that you must also buy the Hansgrohe 16181181 Basic Set which is the part that extends through the wall.

This is the one we have Kohler. It's in polished nickel which looks close to chrome. The valve is also Kohler and was purchased separately.

Delta Faucet has many hand shower bars, some are a sliding shower/grab bar combo which can support up tp 500 lbs. of force. They come in in contemporary, transitional and traditional styles.

Teri that’s the bar, easy to push up and down, but the shower head can be angled up and down with ease as well. I’m deciding between the square handheld and the rounded. The difference is really only for the design perspective because it will be a third shower head for me lol. https://www.us.kohler.com/us/us/Shift-2.5-gpm-multifunction-square-2-way-handshower-with-Black-handle/productDetail/handshowers/427609.htm?skuId=406881&brandId=431431
