Hi all, we are getting close to fitting a new shower.

Our house is old and traditional in style so we are planning on using burlington / heritage style fittings / mixer - a shower handset and an overhead rainfall type head coming out of the wall.

Which are the best ones to get the traditional ones don't seem to have the little rubber nozzles, do they help in any way?
Is there anything to avoid?

Our pressure is just under 2 bar and the shower in about 2m from our (new) boiler.

All advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks, its going in a stud wall 89mm so should be fine.

Pressure is a worry but retrofitting a pump wouldn't be a big deal.

I have no experience of these so just looking for some input, there seems to be heads for £50-75 then others £250 plus keen to know what the best ones are!

Thanks for all the input this far!

Very good point about head being changeable if not liked hadn’t thought of that!
