Are the shower heads plastic or metal? Some shower heads I've been looking at are plastic, while the rest of the hardware is metal.

Shower output (where the water comes out) is plastic. The rest of the hardware is metal.

I believe the rain head is metal. The hand held is plastic but of very good quality with a nice weight to it. I have no regrets about this purchase

The inside is plastic, the head itself is metal, it is pretty nice shower head and I like it very much

It is made of plastic. I do NOT recommend it. the suction cup works great but the part that holds the shower head spins around and drops the shower head.

The finishes are plastic with the exception of the shafts and moving components. If you are wondering about quality it is definitely there. I like everything about this except the fact that the detachable head (on the hose) come out very easy so if you bump into it, it falls out. Other than that I highly recommend this setup... also, don't forget to but the valve separately (unless you already have one that is compatible in your current shower). Hope this helps!

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

The better question is "Which is better for a shower head? Metal or plastic?" Remember, you're not using this thing to pound nails, you're running water through it. As for the plating processes: Plastic can not be chrome plated without first being dipped in copper sulfate. When you have so many "metals" in a water media, there is a tendency for the metals to plate to an adjacent surface that is more "negative". Speakman noticed that decades ago, and stopped plating the nozzles. Because they work better un-plated. If you notice, most are solid black plastic, while the larger ones are solid brass. Plastic, in this application, may in fact perform better! The better question is "Which is better for a shower head? Metal or plastic?"

The slide bar is metal as are the end pieces. Most of this unit is metal. I believe the only plastic parts are the round discs that fit into horizontal end pieces and the button that is used to adjust the height of the shower head. This has been in daily use in our bathroom since April and we are very happy with this product.

The spigots are plastic, but work very nice. You could replace them if they ever do break, so I would not let the plastic spigot stop you from buying it. They are really gorgeous. And worth they money.

It's made out a plastic but this Shower Head is absolutely fantastic. The switch to change between the two heads is easy to use and you can have both heads running at one time. Highly recommend it.

I studied the spigot with my magnifying glass and there is not an indication of what kind of plastic is used. the Spigot is metal. I have had mine for a month and use the Spigot 20 times a day. again the spigot per se is metal not plastic. I have no problems with the spigot and use it at least 20 times a day.

Most of the components are metal. The shower heads have plastic faces, and there is a plastic hot water limiter inside. I think that is all but it has been two years since I installed it. Hope this helps.

Sadly, the spray head is plastic. It seems that ALL of these on the market are plastic. It has a good quality plating job, however; and it is shiny and without pits or other issues after at least two years of daily use. And the rest of the faucet is really good - weighty brass castings and tubing. It has worked for us without any problems.Best~!George Beker

I know that the portion of the shower sprayer (dark grey area) is a plastic but I think the rest is a lightweight metal. I really do think it is a good quality shower head with the adjustable arm. We bought a second one for another shower because it is worth the money.

Any with a similar chrome finish. There are many out there. Try to pick one with more metal than plastic to compliment this fine showerhead.

Hi Justin. The showerhead is solid brass and available in chrome, brushed nickel, polished brass and oil rubbed bronze. Amazon may not offer all the different finishes. I have the chrome one and it works great. You can find more details at the company website's online catalog. Their customer service is excellent. http://www.spriteshowerpure.com/spritecat/index.html
