Buyer’s Guide
Pros & Cons of an Oil-Rubbed Bronze Finish
Shower heads with an oil-rubbed pronze finish have a warm, earthy tone that compliments bathrooms with a traditional style.

Types of Dual Shower Head
There are two types of dual shower head:
Fixed Dual
With a fixed dual shower head there are two identical shower heads side by side and fixed to the wall. The direction of each head can usually be positioned independantly but cannot be removed from the wall.
Fixed dual shower heads are great for couples sharing a shower as both heads are the same and can be easily directed to different areas of the shower..
Dual with Handheld
A dual shower head with handheld comprises one shower head fixed to the wall whilst the other can be removed from it’s mount and used as a handheld shower head. Often, the fixed head is a larger, rain shower head.
This option is great for the elderly or those with mobility problems as the handheld shower head makes it easier to give a thorough clean.
Installing a Dual Shower Head

Dual shower heads are installed in the same way as a standard shower head and the video above should help you with the process. Make sure to follow the instructions supplied with the shower head you purchase though, in case there are any unique steps.
FAQs
Do Dual Shower Heads Use More Water?
Not necessarily.
In the US, a maximum of 2.5 GPM (gallons per minute) flow rate is allowed. It is even lower in some areas such as california. Most standard shower heads operate at 2.5 GPM anyway, so a dual shower head won’t use more water than those.
Some shower heads have a flow rate lower than 2.0 GPM. These are called low-flow shower heads and both single and dual shower heads can be low-flow.
So overall, the water use depends on the GPM of the shower head you buy rather than whether or not it is a dual shower head.
Do Dual Shower Heads Have Lower Pressure?
If you run the shower heads individually then the pressure will be the same as a single shower head. There will be a decrease in pressure when both heads are running at the same time but most people find this to not be too noticeable.
One thing to consider is the water pressure of your home. If your home has low water pressure you might find running both shower heads at the same time is inadequate.
Can Both Heads Be Used at the Same Time?
This depends.
Many dual shower head models allow you the option to run both heads at the same time but some only allow you to run one at a time. Make sure to check the specifications if this is a feature you want.
Conclusion
To wrap it up, dual shower heads can be a great way to make your showers more luxurious, or they can be useful for those who are disabled or couples wanting to share a shower. A dual shower head with an oil-rubbed bronze finish is a great option for bathrooms with a more traditional style.
Take a moment to decide which features are important to you and how you will use the dual shower head. For example, couples wanting to shower together would do well with a fixed head wheras a shower head with slide bar would be ideal when people of different heights will be using the same shower.
