The 316 Outdoor Showers Altura in brushed stainless is a wall-mounted outdoor shower built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, with a pressure balance valve, a two-way diverter, and a handheld showerhead. The brushed finish has a soft satin appearance that sits naturally against stone, timber, and neutral-toned surfaces, and it conceals water spots and surface marks more readily than a matte black finish. It mounts permanently to a wall or outdoor structure, with the same marine-grade material and valve performance as the matte black Altura at a lower price point.
Why Customers Choose This Product
- 316 marine-grade stainless steel — corrosion-resistant in salt air, coastal, and poolside environments where standard stainless fails
- Brushed finish — satin appearance that blends naturally outdoors and conceals water spots and surface marks more readily
- Wall-mounted design — clean, permanent installation against any wall or outdoor structure
- Handheld showerhead included — flexible, targeted rinse for people, pets, gear, and poolside cleanup
- Pressure balance valve — consistent water temperature even when other fixtures are in use
- Two-way diverter — direct water flow between outlets as needed
Product Highlights
316 Marine-Grade Stainless Steel
316 stainless adds molybdenum to the alloy, improving corrosion resistance in salt air and poolside conditions where standard stainless can rust and pit over time.
Brushed Finish
The soft satin sheen blends with natural stone, wood, and neutral palettes, and the brushed texture conceals water spots more readily than a matte black finish. The matte black Altura offers a bolder look at a higher price — the fixture itself is identical.
Handheld Showerhead
The included handheld gives a flexible, targeted rinse for people, pets, gear, and poolside cleanup.
Pressure Balance Valve and Diverter
The pressure balance valve holds water temperature steady when other fixtures are in use, and the two-way diverter directs water flow between outlets as needed.

Important Information
Professional installation is required. The plumbing connection should be completed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local codes.
Wall mounting requires a structurally sound surface with appropriate backing. A licensed plumber should confirm mounting requirements before installation.
Although 316 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant, periodic rinsing after exposure to salt water or pool chemicals will extend the fixture's lifespan and maintain its appearance.
Contact us before ordering if you have specific questions about rough-in dimensions, wall backing requirements, or plumbing compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this brushed version and the matte black Altura?
Both are the same Altura model with identical specifications — 316 marine-grade stainless, wall-mounted, pressure balance valve, two-way diverter, and handheld. The difference is finish only. The brushed stainless has a soft satin sheen that blends naturally with most outdoor environments and conceals water spots more readily. The matte black finish offers a bolder, contemporary look that pairs well with dark tile, modern outdoor kitchens, and black fixture sets. The brushed version is also priced lower.
How does the Altura differ from the Summit?
Both are wall-mounted 316 stainless outdoor showers with a pressure balance valve and handheld. The Summit adds a fixed rain showerhead for overhead coverage — the Altura is handheld only. Choose the Altura if handheld flexibility is your priority and overhead rain coverage is not required. Choose the Summit if you want both rain head and handheld in a wall-mounted fixture.
Why is 316 stainless steel better for outdoor showers than standard stainless?
Standard stainless steel (typically 304 grade) can rust and pit when exposed to salt air, chlorine, and pool chemicals over time. 316 grade adds molybdenum to the alloy, significantly improving corrosion resistance in coastal and poolside environments. For any outdoor shower near the ocean or a pool, 316 is the correct specification — not an upgrade, a necessity.
What does the pressure balance valve do?
A pressure balance valve maintains a consistent ratio of hot to cold water even when pressure fluctuates elsewhere in the home — for example, when a toilet is flushed or another tap is opened. This prevents sudden temperature swings during use and is a standard safety feature in quality shower valves.
What maintenance does a brushed stainless fixture require?
Brushed 316 stainless is low-maintenance. Rinse with fresh water periodically after heavy exposure to salt or pool chemicals. Wipe with a mild stainless cleaner in the direction of the grain to preserve the brushed finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the brushed texture.
The Altura in brushed stainless brings wall-mounted 316 marine-grade construction, handheld flexibility, and pressure-balanced performance in a classic finish that blends with natural outdoor materials.
