Description
Description
The Sora is a handcrafted unlacquered brass concealed shower system built around a classic dome rain head with a deep pronounced rim — a shape that sits between the flat modern disc and the wide Victorian bell, referencing the traditional overhead shower heads of early 20th century bathrooms. It sits at the end of a long straight horizontal arm with a gentle curved wall elbow, projecting the head far out over the shower for a full, centred downpour. Two individual cross handle valves mounted on separate round escutcheons — stacked vertically on the wall — control flow with precision and simplicity. No handheld, no riser. Every component is solid lead-free brass with no plating and no lacquer.
The Sora is for the bathroom that wants a single strong visual statement. One head. One arm. Two controls. All in warm unlacquered brass that builds its own character over time as the living finish deepens from bright gold toward amber and bronze.

Living Finish & Patina Care
Without a protective lacquer coating, the brass begins patinating within weeks — shifting from bright gold toward warm amber and deep bronze tones. Wipe with a damp cloth for daily care; mild soap and water for deeper cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the natural aging process.
Finish, water & patina
Finish, water & patina
Every hevna shower system is solid, unlacquered metal — no coating, no sealer. The finish is the metal, so it lives and changes with use. In a shower, water and steam simply speed that up.
- Copper — warms into rich russet and chocolate browns; constant water deepens it faster.
- Brass — settles into deep amber and soft antique brown over time.
- Water spots are normal — hard water leaves light mineral marks. They wipe away in seconds and aren't damage.
- Want it bright? A quick dry after use and an occasional polish keeps it gleaming.
- Want it aged? Leave it — the wet zones patina first into a deep, even tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Exposed or concealed — what's the difference, and which do I need?
Exposed or concealed — what's the difference, and which do I need?
Exposed systems mount the valve and pipework on the wall surface. They install faster, suit a retrofit where you're keeping your tile, and put the brass on full display. Concealed systems hide the valve inside the wall with only the trim showing, for a cleaner modern line, and need to be planned into a full renovation.
Each listing states which type it is in the specifications. Decide based on whether you're renovating to the studs or updating an existing bathroom.
Will the brass survive steam and daily humidity?
Will the brass survive steam and daily humidity?
Yes, and it ages beautifully because of it.
Unlacquered brass has no sealant, so the steam and warm water of a shower deepen its patina faster than anywhere else in the house. This is character, not damage.
Nothing corrodes and nothing flakes. Wipe it with a soft cloth now and then to keep water spots from standing out, or leave it alone and let it darken into a warm antique tone.
Can I bring the shine back later?
Can I bring the shine back later?
Yes. A brass polish, or lemon juice with baking soda, brings it back to bright gold in a few minutes.
The patina is always reversible. You choose: polish it monthly and keep the shine, or leave it alone and let it develop. Neither choice is wrong.
What water pressure do I need?
What water pressure do I need?
Standard residential pressure runs most brass shower systems comfortably. The recommended working range is listed in the product specifications. If your home runs unusually low, ask us before ordering. We would rather check with you than ship you something that disappoints.
Is it worth it over a cheaper shower set?
Is it worth it over a cheaper shower set?
Cheap shower systems are zinc or thin brass with a plated coating. In a hot, wet, daily-use environment the coating is the first thing to fail, and once it does the only fix is replacement.
A hevna system is solid brass throughout. There is no coating to wear off. It carries a 5-year warranty, free shipping, and free returns. Over the life of the bathroom it costs less, and it only looks better with age.
Will my plumber be able to install it?
Will my plumber be able to install it?
Yes. Handmade describes the metal and the finish, not the connections.
Every hevna shower system connects to standard plumbing and installs like any quality fixture.
All rough-in and connection details are in the product specifications so your installer can plan before opening the wall.
