Gold Shower System

Unlike a standard shower column, nothing runs down the wall. The square rain head drops from a vertical arm fixed to the ceiling, above the centre of the shower. On the wall all that remains is a gold rectangular plate and, beside it, the handset on its angled outlet.

The result is very clean-lined: a walk-in shower or a glass enclosure gains a crisp line, with no pipe or bracket to clean. Shiny gold stands out all the more for being rare on walls: against white, light grey or marbled tiles, it becomes the main decorative feature of the bathroom.

On the plate, a rounded lever sets the water, and above it a small two-pronged knob works as the diverter, sending water to the ceiling rain head or to the handset. The supplier describes an integrated mixer.

The square handset, with its aligned nozzles, sits on a wall bracket with an angled outlet. Use it to rinse off without wetting your hair, to clean the screen or to shower a child. Under the rain head, water falls in straight columns across the full width of the square plate, and the control stays out of the spray, so you can adjust the water without getting soaked.

This shower system is concealed: the mixer body sits inside the wall behind the plate, and the rainfall head is fed through the ceiling. So it is not a ten-minute swap. Plan it for a bathroom renovation, with a plumber, before the tiling goes on.

Once fitted, upkeep is simple: a soft cloth on the plate and the handset, soapy water, and a rinse of the rain head nozzles when limescale builds up. Avoid vinegar and abrasive sponges, which dull the gold finish.
