I have 3 bathrooms under remodel, shown below. 1 with tub/shower combo, and (2) 3/4 baths. My wife picked out this hansgrohe Unica Raindance handshower wall bar (not yet purchased) and these Hansgrohe Ecostat Classic 2-zone trims with volume control and 2-zone diverters (already purchased)
The West and East baths already have the iBox plus valve rouged in dead center, West CL 36" AFF, East CL 45-1/2" AFF
We were planning (names on attached pictures):
West: Tub and Handshower only
East: Handshower and Ceiling Rain Shower
Studio: Handshower only.
We think the hand showers are essential for cleaning the bath, washing dogs, etc. and in general convenient. So, we want them.
My concern is that putting that wall bar centered over the centered valve (in 2/3 of the baths) will have the hose dangling in front of the valve.
Is this hose over the valve/controls an issue?
Do you think the above proposed configurations are odd or a mistake? If so, should I be considering:
West (young kids): Add 2 or 3-way diverter valve and then have Tub | Traditional Shower Head | Hand Shower, possibly rain shower at ceiling
East (guest bath, including grandparents, who at some point may need to sit on a bench in shower): Traditional Shower Head | Hand Shower
Studio (rental): Traditional Shower Head | Hand Shower
We haven't had a rain shower previously, so don't know how much we would use, or if that is a good idea over an apron tub that may have a fixed pane of glass and no door.
Thanks!
