Meir Showers

Meir Showers Buying Guide

Meir showers are round, solid brass shower pieces made in the same finishes as Meir tapware, from Tiger Bronze and Champagne to Shadow and Matte Black. The collection covers shower roses, arms, hand showers, rail showers, combination rails, gooseneck sets and an outdoor 316 stainless steel group, and suits anyone matching a shower to Meir mixers and accessories.

What is a Meir combination shower rail?

A combination rail pairs a round overhead rose with a hand shower on one rail. A twist of the built-in diverter switches the water between the rose and the handset. The rose comes in 200mm or 300mm, and the handset is single function or three function. A universal water inlet takes either a top or a bottom connection, which suits both new builds and renovations. The rails are solid brass with a matching 1.5m hose. The curved gooseneck version offers the same rose and handset choices on a curved frame.

Should I choose a rail shower or a combination rail?

Choose a rail shower if you only want a hand shower that everyone in the household can set to their own height. The Meir Round Shower on Rail has a three-function handset, a 1.5m hose and an adjustable fixing distance of up to 650mm. Choose a combination rail or gooseneck set if you also want a large overhead rose that stays put. For a simple add-on, the Round Hand Shower on Swivel Bracket tilts up to 90 degrees and suits retrofits.

What size Meir shower rose should I choose?

Meir round roses come in 200mm and 300mm and are sold without an arm. A 200mm rose suits a standard ceiling height and most water pressures. A 300mm rose gives wider coverage but needs good pressure and a roomy shower. Pair the rose with a 400mm wall arm, 400mm curved wall arm, 300mm ceiling arm or the angular High Rise arm, which adds height. Meir pieces use a standard half inch thread.

What WELS rating are Meir showers?

Meir roses, hand showers and combination rails are rated 3 star WELS at 9 litres per minute, with each outlet on a combination rail rated separately. Because the diverter runs one outlet at a time, each keeps its full flow. Most pieces list an operating pressure of 150 to 500 kPa, and the combination rails list a maximum of 1,000 kPa.

Which Meir showers suit outdoors or the coast?

Choose the outdoor group. Its 200mm rose, 400mm curved arm and combination rail are made from 316 grade stainless steel with zero lead content, which suits coastal and outdoor settings. The rest of the range is brass with PVD or electroplated finishes, best kept indoors. Rinse any shower near the sea with fresh water regularly.

How do I clean a Meir shower?

Wipe it with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. Avoid abrasive pads and strong chemicals, and check the care instructions before using vinegar or lemon on a coated finish. Darker finishes such as Shadow and Matte Black show water marks more readily, so a quick dry after use keeps them looking even.
