What Height Should a Rain Shower Head Be

When installing, most rainshower heads are installed a little higher than standard showerheads at 80 inches to 84 inches from the shower floor. However, installing the rainshower head about 84 inches from the shower floor is recommended to accommodate taller users.

Where should a rain shower head be placed?

Measure the height of the current shower arm, from the shower floor to the center of the arm. Then measure the height of the tallest person that’ll be using the shower. Shower heads should be installed at least a few inches higher than the height of the tallest user.

Can a shower head be too high?

One that is too high or too low can make showering a challenge. You cannot get completely clean if the stream of water does not contact all parts of your body. While there is no specific height for the position of the showerhead, most plumbing professionals place the fixture 6.5 feet above the floor, or 78 inches.
