How to make sure I can run 2 showers at once

In the process of converting loft to a bedroom with en-suite. Have bought a good shower which is half installed (building team are on hols at the mo) but it’s just a normal shower (not electric).

We’re also redoing our existing bathroom and will get a new shower for that too. Plus we’re getting a new boiler and an indirect hot water cylinder (must be honest, I don’t really understand boilers /cylinders etc). Plumber has also replaced our water mains to increase the flow/pressure.

I’m a bit worried that we should have bought a particular shower for the loft en-suite - perhaps electric? - and that we should buy an electric one for the bathroom we’ve yet to start work on to ensure that both showers can run at the same time (family of 5). Is the type of shower important for this or is the new boiler/cylinder/mains the most important factor for making sure the pressure/heat won’t drop?

It’s too late to change the shower in the loft so I’m worried we’ve made a mistake but I’ve not yet bought the one for the existing bathroom so if I should be looking at an electric one for that bathroom, that’s what I’ll do. Any wise words please??

Thanks @Sylviag - only thing is, we had quotes from 3 builders before starting the work and all said we should get a cylinder so I think that’s what we’re going to have to do!
