The seal that matters is inside the wall at the penetration — silicone around the rail is cosmetic. We drill with tile bits, seal every penetration, and pressure-check the mixer before handover; a cracked tile under our drill is on us, replaced. Rainfall demand is real in Colombo, but a rainfall head is only as good as the pipe feeding it, so we measure flow first and tell you what your system can actually deliver before you spend on the head.
People ask for rain and get told the truth: sometimes the honest answer is a handheld-plus-rail combo that performs better on your pressure than a rainfall that trickles. We fit whatever you choose after that conversation — mixer, rainfall, handheld — but the choice is made with numbers, not brochure promises.

"Silicone around the rail is waterproofing."
Silicone is cosmetic; the seal is inside the wall at the penetration.
Half of "weak rainfall" complaints are flow, not the head — we measure first so you don't buy a head your pipe can't feed.
Cause
Unsealed wall penetrations let water into the cavity for months before the ceiling on the other side shows it.
How We Fix It
Flow check, tile-safe drilling, sealed penetrations, pressure-checked mixer, silicone done once, properly.
Check your water pressure before buying a rainfall shower head. If you're on tank pressure, a small head is better than a big disappointment.
A poorly sealed shower penetration can damage walls and floors for years — the damage is invisible until it's catastrophic.
Shower arms get set before tiling, not after — once the flange is sealed, a wrong spray angle means breaking tile to fix it.
How It Works
"We measure your flow before we sell you a head — a rainfall set your pipe cannot feed is a disappointment we refuse to install."

Shower Installation Tips
Before We Arrive
- •Have your shower set ready — we'll inspect it before fitting.
- •Clear the bathroom area so we can access the wall freely.
- •Know where your water shut-off is — we'll need to isolate during fitting.
After Installation
- •Run the shower for 2 minutes and check for drips at connections.
- •Keep the bathroom ventilated — the silicone needs 24 hours to cure.
- •Report any leaks within 48 hours — they're covered under warranty.
