Q. What is the first item I should select for my new bathroom?
A. Surprisingly enough, it’s not the cabinets, the tile, or the countertops. It’s the shower head! Deciding if you want a single shower head, a stationary head plus a hand-held, body jets, a rain head, or a combination is very important because your decision will determine the VALVE that you need. The valve is the VERY FIRST THING the plumber will install after the bathroom is taken apart. The valve goes in with the rough-in plumbing…before the concrete board, before the tile, before anything else. Once the valve goes in and the shower is tiled, it is too late to decide on your shower head options (unless you want to tear out the tile and start over!!). So decide on your shower heads and body jets, then tell your plumbing expert. They will then know which valve you need to purchase.
Until next time,
