Less than 150 €: assured disappointment!
At this price, we buy, in a large DIY area, a minimalist shower column made in China.Without a brand or under distributor brand, it is made up of a mechanical (often) or thermostatic (sometimes) and, installed on a stainless steel tube, a basic shower and a chromed ABS head apple.This one, often small, has anti-large pins that wear out, and it happens that water outlets are coming up.Maigrichon, the thermostatic mixer - is the engine of the column - displays a small flow and is not suitable for gas wall boilers.
From 150 to 500 €: major brands appear
At the bottom of the price fork, the ABS is still in order for the head apple and stainless steel for the shower bar, but the quality of the thermostatic mixer improves.When it is labeled NF, it is always adapted to the operation of instant wall boilers, but it is still rare at these prices.Some columns are acrylic, glass, aluminum panels… integrating hydromassage nozzles, but poorly positioned and not very powerful: they are rarely effective.From € 300, the columns are more opulent, more ergonomic and sometimes signed by a renowned manufacturer.
From € 500 to € 800: the price of quality and durability
From € 500, the big brands appear, allowing to have a long time of spare parts.But, with a few exceptions, they are only found in specialists in the bathroom (Aubade, over the bath, etc.), where the offer is always important and varied.The columns, in chromed brass, are more sophisticated: flexible antitrusion, flow limiter, cold body anti -scoring and compatibility with instant boilers for the thermostatic mixer ... The head potatoes, wider, wrap the body more, are sometimes multijected, asHandtracks, and imperceptibly reduce water consumption.
From € 800 to more than € 2,000: even more design and functions
Beyond € 800, the columns embark sometimes very wide leaders (over 400 mm) and with several jets, including the pleasant water cascade.Precise and reliable, the thermostatic mixer is also beautiful and practical.New functions are offered: shelf, glass tablet, flow opening and selection of jets by pushing buttons, Bluetooth speaker ... The more the price is the design of the column is worked.The prices fly away when the shower column is signed by a renowned designer, but it then looks like no other and gives character to the whole bathroom.
