What are the best shower brands?
So, you’re planning a bathroom or shower room upgrade. You want to ensure that you choose the best shower brand within your budget to achieve maximum power, efficiency, and durability. What do the professionals recommend as the best shower brands? Let’s find out.
Whether you’re installing an electric shower, or a shower powered by your boiler, you’ll want to choose the best brand for you.
Fortunately, whatever power source is powering your shower, most shower brands offer electric, and boiler powered options.
According to the experts, the best shower brands to consider are:
Mira
Aqualisa
Triton
Gainsborough
This list is not exhaustive. A plumbing professional will be able to offer more advice on the available options.
Is an electric shower better than a boiler powered shower?
Not necessarily. Electric showers are convenient. They can be fitted in areas where it is sometimes impossible to connect a shower to the boiler.
Electric showers are also unaffected by any problems with your boiler. They provide instant hot water and can be very energy efficient.
Using the boiler to power your shower directly, however, can often provide a stronger level of water flow.
This will depend on the quality of your boiler and the water pressure within the system but it is often better than an electric shower.
