A shower set is a complete bathroom fixture that includes a shower hose, a handheld shower head, and a wall mount or shower rod. These sets are typically available in a wide variety of styles and designs from many of the most reputable brands in the industry.
A variety of spray settings for a comfortable shower
The right shower set can make a huge difference to your morning and evening routine. Today’s hand showers come with a range of jet settings, from gentle relaxing sprays to pulsating massage sprays that can target areas like the back and shoulders.
Some are designed to save water, so they use less than other models – for example, Grohe’s Tempesta shower is a low flow model that uses 9.5 liters per minute (compared with the 12 litres of other high-flow shower heads), reducing your carbon footprint while still providing a great feeling of pressure.
Digital shower controls - The ultimate in convenience, digital showers control temperature and pressure, as well as offering an array of other features. Some offer a wifi interface so you can connect to your smartphone and start the shower remotely, while others feature options like a pause button and a timer that alerts you when it’s time for the shower to end.
There are also a number of shower systems that come ready-to-install, which saves time and money on installation. These are often used in guest bathrooms or rental homes.
How to Choose a Bathtub Tap
Bathtub Tap
If you're looking to remodel your bathtub tap, it's a good idea to consider installing a new tub faucet. Adding a faucet is an inexpensive way to update the look of your bathroom and add functionality.
There are many options to choose from. Each one has its own style and technical features to consider, so it's important to do your research before making a decision.
Wall-mounted: This installation connects to the water lines behind the wall, eliminating exposed pipes. It is ideal for a tub that has been installed in an alcove or is freestanding.
Floor mounted: This type of faucet can be freestanding or attached to a pedestal or claw foot tub. Its design includes a spout that towers over the rim of the tub, often with a hand shower attached.
This installation is typically found on drop-in or jacuzzi bathtubs. It requires 3 or more holes for the spout and handles, depending on the design.
Double knob mixer: This type of bathtub tap mixes hot and cold water independently, with two knobs that each deliver a different temperature of water. It is especially convenient for older people and children because it prevents scalding or burning from occurring.
Thermostatic mixer: Similar to the double knob mixer, this tap is designed to prevent the flow of water from changing too much, allowing you to adjust it to your preferred temperature.
It's essential to choose a faucet that matches the current plumbing. Bring your old stems and handles to the store with you so you can compare them with the replacement ones you're considering.
Shower Water Mixer
A shower water mixer is a kind of valve that mixes hot and cold water in the shower. It then sends this to a shower head to provide the desired temperature.
The best thing about shower water mixers is that they’re a great way to save money on your energy bill. They also allow you to get a strong flow of water from your shower.
There are a number of different types of shower mixer taps available. These include double-handle showers, mechanical mixers and thermostatic mixers.
Double-handle showers - These have two handles that can be moved up and down to control the flow of water. This type is cheaper than the other types, but it requires time to achieve the desired temperature.
Mechanical mixers - These are less expensive than double-handles and have a single lever that you can move up and down to control the flow of water. The downside is that they take more time to achieve the desired temperature, and there’s no option to switch the temperature.
Temperature controlled mixers - These are similar to pressure balanced valves, but they use technology to sense the temperature of your water. This means they’re more accurate than a pressure-balancing system and can be more precise in the temperature of your shower.
Mixer showers can be installed either exposed (where the entire unit is mounted on the wall) or concealed (where all the pipework is installed inside the wall and the shower lever valve sits on the outside). Exposed showers are easier to install, but they won’t have the same sleek look as a concealed one.
