Shower rail, how to choose it?

Features of the shower rail
The sliding rail consists of a rod with fixed or adjustable supports on which a hand shower is mounted that can slide up or down in order to better adjust the height of the water outlet depending on who is using the shower itself.

It is one of the simplest and most popular shower tap systems but it is also very practical in use: it was created to meet the needs of the whole family thanks to the ability to easily adjust the shower according to the preferences of each one.

Furthermore, the pull-out shower is a very valuable aid in cleaning the shower box thanks to the long flexible hose that allows you to clean even the most distant corners of the shower box.

There are many models of shower latches on the market, different in shape and function of the shower jets.

As in all bathroom components, quality must come first and this is especially true for shower components, such as the sliding rail, which for their use are constantly in contact with water.

The most used materials for their production are chromed brass and stainless steel, resistant materials which, if of good quality, guarantee a long life.

The rods are usually produced in the two sizes of 60 and 90 cm in height and are fixed to the shower cubicle tiles with plugs usually in two points.

One of the most popular sliding bars is the Ideal Standard Evo Jet Round model: it is a chromed brass shower rod with a height of 90 cm and a rather large hand shower (diameter 12.5 cm) equipped with an anti-limescale system and 3 jets that can be changed with technology I sail during the shower (rain jet, massage jet and drop jet).

Thanks to this technology, it is possible to set the desired flow only once to always have an impeccable experience in the shower. The Drop Jet mode of the Evo Jet hand shower generates a soft cloud of water instead of the classic jet.

The sliding rail requires minimal but constant maintenance and cleaning to ensure durability over time: it is sufficient to clean the nozzles of the shower from limescale encrustations even with simple white vinegar.

One of the world's leading brands in the production of sliding rails and other shower components is Hansgrohe.

This German company has focused its research over the years on the innovation of the jet of its shower systems: the jet of a sliding rail or a Hansgrohe shower head is vaporous and intense but at the same time gentle on the skin thanks to the particular technology that combines water and air in all its systems.

Hansgrohe power showers, like the overhead showers, have also been equipped in recent years with Select technology which allows you to change the jet using a simple button located on the hand shower to further increase the comfort of using the shower.
