Ravello – Brushed Grey Concealed Shower System

To choose a suitable shower column, consider three essential criteria: the size of your space, the type of mixer (thermostatic or mechanical), and your available water pressure.

Check the height (generally between 110 and 150 cm) and its compatibility with your water supply.

Finally, match the finish (chrome, matte black, brushed gold) with your bathroom's style.

Solid brass is the most durable material for a shower column: it resists corrosion and limescale. It is designed to offer excellent daily durability.

Stainless steel (304 stainless steel) is an excellent alternative for its modern appearance and resistance to humidity.

Conversely, avoid shower columns made of zamac or chrome-plated plastic: they are inexpensive but deteriorate quickly (2 to 5 years).

Maintenance depends on the chosen model.

Fabric versions, depending on the reference, have removable covers that can be machine washed at low temperatures. Outdoor models can be cleaned with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and non-abrasive soap.

Always refer to the care instructions on the product page.

The thermostatic mixer offers three major advantages compared to a classic mechanical mixer.

First, safety: it maintains a constant water temperature and automatically locks at 38°C, limiting sudden temperature variations for greater user comfort.

Next, comfort: no need to adjust the temperature for each shower; it is memorized and instantaneous.

Finally, water and energy savings: by avoiding repeated adjustments, a thermostatic mixer contributes to more economical water usage.

Ideal for families with children, the elderly, and anyone looking for premium daily comfort.

The width of the rain shower head should be proportionate to your shower space. For a standard shower (80x80 cm), a shower head of 20 to 25 cm is ideal.

For a walk-in shower or a 90x120 cm space, opt for a 30 cm minimum to fully enjoy the rain effect.

The 40 cm, on the other hand, transforms your shower into a true spa experience: enveloping sensation, generous flow, and total immersion, ideal for large showers and home wellness enthusiasts. For this size, ensure a water pressure of at least 2 bar to fully exploit its potential.

Installing a shower column yourself is entirely possible with a few basic tools: an adjustable wrench, a spirit level, a tape measure, a drill, and PTFE tape.

Start by turning off the water supply, removing the old equipment, then fixing the wall fittings at the correct height (110 cm for the mixer, 200-210 cm for the shower head). Screw on the column, check the level, tighten the fittings with PTFE tape to prevent leaks, then test the water supply.

The operation takes on average 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. All columns come with detailed instructions and the necessary fixings for installation without a plumber.
