subject: Choosing Shower Valves [print this page] When having a shower installed and fitted it is important to choose the right fixtures and fittings which will suit the needs of the user and reflect the style of the bathroom. To have a shower that functions as it should and also makes an impact in the style stakes, you need to think about the whole picture.
Along with taps, shower doors and shower heads, other items to consider in the design and installation process are the shower valves. These are an essential component to any shower unit as they control and allow the adjustment of pressure of the water leaving the shower head as well as having the job of regulating temperature control. Without these small but essential components, a shower would simply be unable to function.
These shower valves are available in a range of designs and functions and choosing the wrong type can impact drastically on the showering experience. At the same time, finalising the right choice can improve and enhance the enjoyment of this daily ritual. For instance, if the overall design of the bathroom is sleek and minimalist, concealed valves can complement this visual style and augment the overall impact - whilst providing great stylish function too.
However, if the style on the whole is more baroque or luxurious then exposed valves could be a more appropriate choice since these are available in beautifully designed options with many opulent finishes. These exposed valves require manual hand control, although they do not have as the name might suggest fully exposed piping and ducting.
At Bathroom2u there is a wide range of concealed and exposed bathroom valves on offer and these are available in a diversity of attractive styles and finishes. You are sure to be able to find exactly the shower accessories that you want with us.
