Transform Your Showering Experience

Customize the shower of your dreams with KOHLER® showering components that allow you to choose exactly what you want, down to the tiniest detail.

Getting Started

Shower design and selection starts with considering your space and two major components—the water components (showerheads, handshowers, rainheads, body sprays, valves, and trim) and the structural components (the base, door, and built-in accessories).

  1. How much space do you have?
  2. Who will be using it? You'll likely make different decisions for a master bath versus a guest or kids' bathroom.
    • Does anyone using the shower have mobility issues or do you want to design the shower to accommodate future mobility issues?
    • How tall are the individuals who will be using the shower?
  3. Is this a refresh, remodel, or new build? The possibilities are greater with a new build or remodel versus a refresh.
  4. What type of spray do you prefer? Do you want a showerhead that accommodates multiple sprays?
    • Do you want multiple spray components, such as a rainhead, handshower, body sprays, and/or steam?
    • Are you looking to create an invigorating, spa-like showering experience?

Sprays Explained

With a variety of indulgent sprays, KOHLER® showering products help you build immersive environments for rinsing, massaging, and restoring. From the flow to the arrangement of streams, each spray has been thoughtfully engineered to deliver transformational moments of wellness in every shower.

A Statement® oblong rainhead provides more ergonomic coverage with less overspray.

Full Coverage With Katalyst® Technology

Air-infused droplets intensify the flow of water for enhanced coverage and comfort. The water drenches and clings to the body in a full, luxurious spray.

Gravity creates the experience of a natural rainfall in the Statement Open Rain rainhead.

Full Coverage Rain

Gravity-fed droplets envelop the body in a gentle spray. The soft flow of water has a natural feel, mimicking the experience of real rainfall.

Relieve aches and pains with the Statement oblong Vichy body spray.

Deep Massage

Strong streams of water twist and swirl to create a slow kneading pattern. The rhythmic massaging spray delivers relaxation and relief.

Immerse yourself in the drenching warmth of a Statement ribbon spray.

Ribbon Massage

Water cascades at an angled stream to target the shoulders. This improved alignment offers greater warmth, comfort, and a more relaxing massage.

Water Usage

Water used by showerheads is measured in gallons per minute, or gpm. Today's water-saving showerheads, rainheads, and handshowers use between 1.5 and 2.0 gallons of water. The Environmental Protection Agency's WaterSense® program certifies showerheads and components that use less water.

Valves and Trims

Kohler offers showering valves and trim in mechanical and digital configurations. Take the time to learn about them. These questions will help you identify what type of shower features your valve will need to support.

  1. Do you have a shower or a bath/shower?
  2. Would you prefer a consistent temperature setting each time you shower?
  3. How many components do you want to run in your shower? The more components, the more valve outlets you'll require.
  4. Do you prefer a sleek and streamlined look in your shower but desire three or more outlets? A digital valve will allow you to control all outlets via one interface, eliminating the need for multiple controls.
  5. Would you like different temperatures between components? Multiple valves and manual controls will give you precise control.

Ultimate Technology

With KOHLER Digital showering, you can orchestrate temperature, spray experiences, steam, music and more, all with an intuitive interface. Hands-free voice control is also available on some products for added convenience. Flow rates range from 13.0 gpm to 21.0 gpm.

Shower Bases

The foundation of it all. Build your perfect shower from the ground up. Choose the KOHLER shower base that's right for you. Bases are available in a wide variety of colors and sizes to complement the rest of your design space.

Getting Started

If you're installing a freestanding shower as part of a bathroom remodel or new build, you have many choices and decisions specific to the shower base. While design is probably top of mind, don't overlook practical functions like seating and safety. To help you get started, consider the following questions.

  1. Who are the primary users of the shower? You may make different choices based on primary users' age, mobility or whether or not the shower is in a master bath, kids' bath or guest bath.
  2. What shape will the shower be? Shower bases are available in standard rectangle, square and corner configurations. A custom shape might require the installation of a custom tile or stone flooring.
  3. What is the material of the shower walls? You might consider combining tile or stone walls with a cast iron or acrylic shower base.
  4. What type of cleaning and maintenance are required? Is easy cleaning important to you?
  5. Where is the drain placed in your shower space?
Additional Features

Getting Started

Shower Doors are both a practical solution and a beautiful design element than can make a small bathroom feel larger. If you're not sure where to begin, here are some questions that can help you identify the right shower door for your space.

  1. Are you adding doors to a bath/shower or a freestanding shower?
  2. Do you have space limitations that might get in the way of a shower door opening? If so, you might consider a sliding door versus a pivot door.
  3. Do you have a steam shower? If so, you'll want a shower door that goes to the ceiling to keep the steam inside your shower.
  4. Do you prefer the look of a framed door or a frameless door?
  5. Will you be installing the shower door yourself? Look for doors designed for easy installation.

Glass Designs

Clear shower doors create a clean look and can make the bathroom space feel larger while a falling lines pattern or frosted glass can create privacy. Kohler shower doors come with CleanCoat or CleanCoat+ to help keep the door clear and clean.

Shower Door Glass Thickness

Doors come in 1/4", 5/16", 3/8" or 1/2" glass thickness. Typically, thinner glass panels require a frame, and thicker glass panels will feel more substantial.
