Choosing the Shower Column That Suits You Best

Buying a shower column is easier than it seems, but there are a few details worth considering before clicking “add to cart.” Below, we explain everything you need to know to make the right choice.

With Mixer or Without Mixer: Which Shower Column Do You Need?

This is the first decision you need to make. A shower column with a mixer includes the integrated mixing valve, so you don't need anything else for installation. It is the most common option for complete bathroom renovations or when replacing the entire shower set.

On the other hand, a shower column without a mixer is installed when you already have a mixer valve that works well and only want to renew the shower system. These models are usually more affordable and allow you to update the look without modifying the plumbing.

Mixer Types: Single-Lever or Thermostatic

If you choose a shower column with an integrated mixer, you have two main options:

  • Single-lever shower column: you control both temperature and water flow with a single handle. It is the most widely used option, easy to operate, and generally more affordable.

  • Thermostatic shower column: maintains the selected temperature even if someone opens a cold-water tap elsewhere in the house. Ideal for households with children or elderly people, and also for anyone who values comfort.

Thermostatic shower columns are usually slightly more expensive, but the difference is noticeable from the very first day of use.

For a quick overview, here is a comparison of the most common types based on typical needs:

Finishes and Materials: Matte Black, Stainless Steel, and More

The finish plays a major role in the final look of your bathroom. These are the most popular options right now:

  • Matte black shower column: one of the most sought-after finishes in contemporary interior design. It pairs perfectly with white sanitary ware and light-colored tiles, adding a modern touch effortlessly.

  • Black thermostatic shower column: combines precise temperature control with a highly contemporary aesthetic. It is the most complete option if you're looking for both design and functionality.

  • Stainless steel shower column: highly resistant to corrosion and daily wear. Ideal for bathrooms with high humidity levels or for anyone looking for long-term durability.

  • Modern shower column: if you're looking for clean lines, defined geometry, and a minimalist appearance, you'll find chrome, white, or black models that fit perfectly into any recent renovation.

Rainfall Effect: Is It Worth It?

Rainfall shower columns feature a large-diameter shower head that distributes water evenly for a relaxing and immersive experience. It's not just about aesthetics—the shower experience genuinely changes. If your home has sufficient water pressure, it's definitely an option worth considering.

Shower Columns for Bathtubs: A Special Case

Shower columns for bathtubs are designed to be installed on the bathtub edge or on the wall next to the tub. They usually include a longer hose and an adapted support bracket. They are perfect for anyone who wants the convenience of a shower without giving up their bathtub.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Shower column

What is the difference between a single-lever shower column and a thermostatic shower column?

A single-handle faucet regulates temperature and flow with a single lever, and is the most common and economical option. A thermostatic faucet remembers the temperature you have chosen and keeps it stable even if there are variations in the water supply, which makes it more comfortable and safer, especially if there are children at home.

Can I install a shower column for a bathtub myself?

In many cases, yes, provided you have basic plumbing knowledge and the installation doesn't require moving water outlets. Bathtub shower panels usually include instructions and the necessary accessories. If you're unsure, it's best to hire a plumber to avoid leaks or pressure problems.

Do matte black shower columns stain more easily?

Matte black can show limescale spots more easily than chrome, but maintenance is simple: just wipe with a damp cloth and dry after each use. Many current models incorporate treatments that make cleaning easier and reduce limescale buildup.

Which shower panel offers the best value for money?

It depends on how you're going to use it, but generally speaking, single-lever shower panels in stainless steel or with a chrome finish from well-known brands offer excellent value for money. If you're looking for something more complete, mid-range thermostatic shower panels are an investment that makes a difference in your daily life. At Brikum, you have price filters to find the best option according to your budget.

How long does it take for a shower column ordered from Brikum to arrive?
