Stainless Steel Concealed Shower System

The heart of this shower is a long black panel, set flat against the wall. On its face, small nozzles line up in rows from the top down to knee level. Opened, they project fine fan-shaped jets towards the person under the shower.

Two square controls, one above the other, sit below the nozzles. A hose comes out of the bottom of the panel and feeds a slim hand shower, stored alongside.

The panel is stated to be stainless steel, in a matt black finish. You choose it for a tiered massage: the jets hit the shoulders, back and legs at the same time, without changing position under the water.

Above, a separate rectangular head fixes to the wall by a short arm. Under its face, a grille of nozzles gives a vertical rain; at the front, a slot lets a sheet of water fall as a waterfall, visible in the photos.

The waterfall gives a feeling of a sheet of water on the nape, different from rain in drops. Because the head and the panel are independent, you set their height and spacing to suit the size of the shower.

The whole makes a graphic, very dark shower, which goes well with grey tiles or polished concrete.

The panel sits flat against the wall and its water supplies stay hidden behind it; the head needs its own high wall outlet. Allow for two water points on the wall, to be prepared before tiling with a plumber.

The panel's many nozzles are sensitive to limescale, like all small nozzles: in hard water, a wipe with a cloth after showering and regular cleaning with diluted vinegar keep them clear. Matt black is cleaned without abrasive product. For the rectangular head, a damp cloth on the grille and in the waterfall slot is enough to keep a steady sheet of water.
