There are many types of faucets, but there are three main types of shower faucets in common use, which work basically the same as sink faucets in terms of the washing machine, handle, screw, and valve system. Most of them now have modern cartridge flow designs that allow hot and cold water to come from the same tap. They are called ceiling-mounted shower faucets, balcony-mounted shower faucets, and floor-mounted shower faucets. There are a variety of creative styles, each of which is available. Considering that different types of faucets have different functions, what type of shower faucets should be installed in different places? Let's take a look at which shower faucets are available!
ceiling mounted shower faucet
If you have a shower with an enclosed shower, this is the most common faucet option, and a full shower enclosure is recommended. A popular design includes a waterfall shower head, or even more than one if the shower is large enough. The ceiling-mounted shower faucet is installed above the shower and can be coordinated in color and style with the rest of the bathroom.
If you're installing a large shower, make sure you choose a ceiling-mounted shower faucet that can be attached to a 3/4-inch diameter pipe rather than the standard 1/2-inch diameter that connects to sinks and other fixtures on the water supply pipe. The result will be shorter fill times and less hot water to reach the desired temperature; another benefit of this is reduced water heater losses.
Install faucet on the balcony
These types of shower faucets are also known as vintage shower faucets; they exist in classic claw-footed showers with little change in basic function over the years. For those so inclined, they can be designed in true antiques, if that's the style of your bathroom you're creating. The tap installed on the balcony becomes part of the shower itself. They have separate hot and cold water nozzles, or both come from a single nozzle, which is the more common faucet design these days. The same requirement for a 3/4-inch water supply line applies to this type of faucet, especially for showers that hold nearly 60 gallons of water.
Floor-standing faucet
This type of faucet is designed to match a freestanding shower where it would be difficult and uneconomical to install other models of faucets or to install it on the balcony of the shower. Floor-standing shower faucets can be easily added to standard showers, whirlpools, and massage showers. The new model's easy-to-remove shower head is also an added feature.
