The Sova is a handcrafted unlacquered brass concealed shower system built for bathrooms that demand both function and timeless character. Featuring a round dome rain head on a curved wall-to-ceiling arm, a handheld shower with wall cradle and coiled brass hose, and a clean three-control valve trim — two cross handles for hot and cold, one diverter knob below — every component is machined from solid lead-free brass with no plating, no lacquer, no compromise.
Designed for concealed in-wall installation, the Sova keeps your wall clean and architectural while the warm brass finish does all the visual work. Unlike coated fixtures that chip and dull within years, the Sova's living finish evolves — deepening from bright gold toward rich amber and bronze tones as the brass responds naturally to water and air over time.

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 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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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.
How long does shipping take?
After processing: US 3 to 5 business days, UK and EU 3 to 7 business days, rest of the world up to 14 business days.
Delivered to your door, tracked and insured. No extra delivery fees - duties and taxes included.
What if I'm not satisfied with my purchase?
Return it within 60 days of delivery, unused and in its original packaging, for a full refund.
No restocking fee. If you have a question before you reach that point, contact us first. Most issues are simpler to solve than a return.
