Mixer Showers

What is a Mixer Shower?

A mixer shower uses a simple shower valve to blend your hot and cold water supplies to achieve the showering temperature and flow that you desire. They offer the greatest choice in styles and finishes and there is a vast choice of design from minimal ‘Contemporary’ to traditional ‘Victorian’.

Mixer showers, or valves, as they are sometimes referred to, draw hot and cold water from your household supplies and are ideal for homes that have a readily available supply of stored hot water. They can also be used if you have a combination boiler or multipoint water heater.

They give a higher flow rate than an electric shower, but are not as powerful as a power shower – unless you add an additional pump to boost the flow.

Mixer showers are available in both manual and thermostatic models; the thermostatic valve maintaining an exact temperature, even if water is drawn off elsewhere in the home.

Mixer showers can have either one or two control levers or dials, depending upon whether you want to control temperature and water flow independently or at the same time.
