Two shower outlets can serve different jobs rather than simply adding fittings. In our Blackburn bathroom, the bath was replaced by an enclosure with an overhead outlet and handset.
When considering that combination, list the ways you expect to rinse. An overhead spray and a directed handset offer different positions for the water, so think through which you would reach for during an ordinary shower. Check where the handset rests and how it can be picked up within the enclosure. Compare the reach to each outlet from the shower entrance as well as the standing position beneath the spray.
Include those actions when comparing shower layouts. Choosing outlets by the tasks they support makes the specification more useful than selecting by appearance alone. The controls and their operation should be explained alongside the fittings.
