tiling

In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling).
English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille.
The internal angle of the hexagon is 120 degrees so three hexagons at a point make a full 360 degrees. It is one of three regular tilings of the plane. The other two are the triangular tiling and the square tiling.

    Can you replace this Aqualisa shower without disturbing tiling?

    For a different brand of shower. Not sure how those elbows connect to pipework in wall. Looks like it would be easy enough to leave them in place and fit another Aqualisa I guess but if different options are wanted (and not keeping old non-shiny elbows) Thanks
