Hand showers

Hand showers let you direct the water stream while bathing and complement a shower mixer or bath mixer. The Laveo range includes round and square models that differ in head size, number of streams and the way they are switched. Choose from hand showers with 1, 2, 3 or 5 streams, including variants with an Anti-Calc system. A variety of finishes makes it possible to match the hand shower to the other bathroom mixers.

Hand showers with 1, 2, 3 or 5 streams

The number of available streams affects how the shower is used. The Laveo range includes both hand showers with one stream type and models that allow the water flow to be changed.

• Single-stream hand showers - provide one stream type, such as Rain or a fine water mist. They are suitable for users who prefer the hand shower to operate in one consistent way.
• Two-stream hand showers - offer two stream types. One example is the Tivano model, which provides Rain and Cascade streams.
• Three-stream hand showers - allow the water flow to be changed, making it possible to adjust the shower to individual preferences.
• Five-stream hand showers - offer a wider range of settings. The Cers model provides Rain, Massage, Soft and Mixed streams, as well as Rain with self-cleaning mode.

Depending on the design, the stream is changed using a switch or by turning the head. Before purchasing, check not only the number of settings but also the available types. More streams may not be necessary if you mainly use one mode during your daily shower.

Round or square hand shower?

The shape of the head affects the appearance of the hand shower and the arrangement of the nozzles through which the water flows. Laveo offers round and square models in various sizes.

Round hand showers suit mixers with soft, curved lines. Square models complement mixers and other components with geometric shapes.

Also consider the head size, nozzle layout and handle ergonomics. For example, the Cers hand shower has a round, 120 mm wide head, while the Pola model features a slim, square form. Differences in design affect how the water is distributed and how comfortable the hand shower is to hold.

Anti-Calc system and matching the hand shower to the shower

Limescale may build up on the hand shower nozzles during use. Selected Laveo models feature an Anti-Calc system that makes deposits easier to remove and helps keep the spray openings clear.

Pola hand showers, for example, use silicone projections that make the nozzles easier to clean, while the Cers model features the CaClean system to support the removal of limescale deposits.

Before purchasing a new hand shower, also check the connection type. Selected Laveo models use a standard 1/2" thread found in many shower installations. However, make sure it is compatible with your existing hose.

If you are also replacing the hose connecting the hand shower to the mixer, browse the available shower hoses from Laveo. When assembling the equipment from scratch, you can also consider shower sets, which include a hand shower and matching mounting elements.

Black, chrome and gold Laveo hand showers

The hand shower finish can be matched to the colour of the mixer, shower hose and other components in the bathing area. Laveo models are available in the following variants:

• Chrome - a versatile finish that suits classic bathroom mixers.
• Black - complements black mixers and geometric shower components.
• Graphite - an alternative to Chrome and Black, suitable for mixers in darker metallic tones.
• Gold and Brushed gold - make it possible to match the hand shower to mixers and accessories with a warm metallic finish.
• Rose gold - complements mixers in copper and Rose gold tones.

Individual colours are available in selected ranges, so the availability of a specific finish depends on the model.

When replacing several components, also consider the colour and installation method of the shower mixer to create a coordinated shower area.

Frequently asked questions

Which hand shower should you choose - single-stream or multi-stream?

A single-stream hand shower is suitable if you mainly use one stream type. Multi-stream models allow you to change the water flow, for example from Rain to Massage. When choosing, consider the available stream types rather than only their number.

Does every hand shower fit a standard hose?

Many Laveo hand showers use a connection with a 1/2" thread, which is found in standard shower hoses. Before purchasing, check the type and size of the thread on both components to ensure that they can be connected.

What does the Anti-Calc system do in a hand shower?

The Anti-Calc system makes it easier to remove limescale deposits that build up on the shower nozzles. Depending on the model, it may use flexible projections or a mechanism that helps clean the openings. This supports the correct water flow but does not eliminate the need for regular cleaning.

Can a hand shower be installed by a bath?

Yes, provided that the bath mixer is designed for connecting a hose and hand shower. This solution makes it easier to rinse the body, wash hair and clean the bath. Before installation, check the compatibility of the connections and the hose length.

How should a hand shower be cleaned?

For daily care, use a soft cloth and a mild product suitable for the hand shower finish. Deposits on silicone nozzles can be removed gently in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid abrasive tools and harsh cleaning products that could damage the coating.
