White Showers

White Showers Buying Guide

White showers give the bathroom a soft, clean, modern look that blends into white tiles or stands out against colour. This collection includes matte white heads, hand showers, rails, twin showers, arms and droppers from Phoenix Nuage, Nero Mecca and Air, Fienza Kaya, Sussex Calibre and the Caroma Elvire 310mm overhead rain shower with shroud. They suit Scandi, coastal, Japandi and minimalist bathrooms.

Is a white shower a good choice?

Yes, for the right room. Matte white hides water spots and limescale better than dark finishes, and it keeps the shower visually light. It works especially well with white or pale tiles, timber vanities and white basins. Soap residue and make-up can show on white, so a quick wipe after use keeps it looking fresh.

Which type of white shower do I need?

A fixed head on an arm or dropper gives an overhead spray. A hand shower on a bracket or rail lets you move the spray, which helps with children, pets and cleaning. A twin shower combines a head and a hand shower on one rail. Fienza Kaya, Phoenix Nuage and Nero Mecca each offer several of these options, so you can keep one design across the room.

Ceiling dropper or wall arm?

A ceiling dropper drops a head straight down for a rain-style shower and needs an outlet in the ceiling. Fienza offers a Kaya ceiling dropper set and a 300mm round dropper. A wall arm is easier in a renovation because it uses a wall outlet. A gooseneck or hi-rise arm, such as the Kaya gooseneck set or Phoenix Nuage hi-rise, lifts the head higher for taller users.

What size white shower head should I choose?

Heads here include a 250mm Fienza Kaya, a 300mm Nero round head and a 310mm Caroma Elvire. A 250mm head suits most bathrooms and average water pressure. A 300mm or larger head gives a broad, rain-like spray but needs good pressure to cover the whole face. Check each product's flow rate and WELS rating before choosing.

What do I match a white shower with?

Choose a matte white shower mixer in the same range so the finishes line up. White fittings also pair well with brushed brass or brushed nickel accessories if you want a mixed-metal look. Keep the white tone consistent, since some whites are warmer than others.

How do I clean a white shower?

Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry. Rub nozzles with a finger to break off limescale. Avoid abrasive pads, bleach and acid or solvent-based cleaners, which can damage or discolour a matte white finish.
