Showers

Mixer showers are a really popular choice for a new bathroom and are available in a wide choice of designs to suit both contemporary and traditional bathrooms. Mixer showers are sometimes called a thermostatic mixer valve and take water from both the hot and cold water feeds and mix the water to meet a desired temperature. Thermostatic mixer showers are suited to gravity fed hot water systems, high pressure unvented heating systems and fully modulating combi-boilers. Mixer showers can be used with a fixed shower head or with a slide rail kit, which means the shower head is on a flexible hose that is attached to a height adjustable bracket on a riser rail. Shower heads attached to a flexible hose are ideal for use over a bath, as they allow you to easily rinse around afterwards and are great for washing the kids' hair too. Shower heads come in a wide variety of shapes and styles, these range from large multi-function style shower heads to minimalist cylinder shapes.

Fixed shower heads are the ideal option for creating a statement in your bathroom and will look fantastic in a wet-room bathroom. Fixed shower heads have a short arm which can be fitted to the wall or ceiling and can vary in size and shape providing you with a really relaxing shower in a thoroughly modern setting.

Thermostatic mixer valves ensure that the water is maintained at a safe temperature if the cold water supply fails, or the water pressure drops, this will prevent sudden bursts of really hot water and provides a safe, comfortable showering environment. Shower valves now come in a variety of designs ranging from traditional style exposed valves to more modern concealed valves that give a streamlined, minimalist look to your bathroom.

Electric showers are suitable for most types of water systems making them a great choice for almost any home. An electric shower uses the cold water feed, which is then heated by an electrical element in the unit. The higher the wattage of the electric shower the more water the shower can heat as it passes over the element, this means you get a more powerful flow of water with a higher wattage shower. Electric showers usually feature a shower head with a variety of spray patterns so you can create a shower to suit you.
