Suihkepäät

Suihkepäät, commonly known as shower heads, are essential components of a modern bathroom, responsible for distributing water from the plumbing system to create a shower experience. They are typically attached to a shower arm that extends from the wall or ceiling. The primary function of a shower head is to spray water in a controlled manner, and the design and type of shower head significantly influence the feel and coverage of the water flow.

There are various types of shower heads available, each offering different spray patterns and functionalities. Common designs include fixed shower heads, which are mounted permanently in one position, and handheld shower heads, which are attached to a flexible hose, allowing for greater maneuverability and ease of use, particularly for rinsing or cleaning. Some shower heads offer multiple spray settings, such as massage, mist, or rainfall, which can be adjusted by rotating a dial or pressing a button.

The internal design of a shower head features a series of small nozzles or holes. As water passes through these openings, it is dispersed into a spray. The size, shape, and arrangement of these nozzles determine the water pressure and the resulting spray pattern. Advanced shower heads may incorporate features like water-saving technology, which reduces water consumption without significantly compromising water pressure, or anti-clog nozzles that resist mineral buildup. The material of shower heads can vary, commonly including plastic, brass, or stainless steel, affecting durability and aesthetic.
