Bathroom Showers: Exploring Your Options
If you're considering upgrading your shower, you might be surprised by the variety of choices available. From shower valves to entire systems, the options can be overwhelming. Here's a simplified guide to help you navigate your shower selection.
Manual Shower Valves
The most basic type of shower, manual valves, feature a single lever to control water flow and temperature. They are user-friendly and typically budget-friendly.
Thermostatic Shower Valves
Thermostatic valves maintain a constant temperature, adjusting to fluctuations in water flow and temperature. They often include anti-scald safety features, shutting off water if the cold supply fails.
Concealed vs. Exposed Valves
These terms describe the installation style. Concealed valves are embedded in the wall, leaving only the controls visible. Exposed valves mount directly on the wall, displaying the entire mechanism. Many valves offer either option.
Twin Shower Valves
Unlike single lever valves, twin valves have separate controls for water flow and temperature, providing more precise adjustments.
Triple Shower Valves
Triple valves feature three controls: water flow, temperature, and a diverter. The diverter allows selection between multiple shower heads, such as a fixed head and a handheld option.
Sequential Shower Valves
Sequential valves have a single lever functioning similarly to a stove knob. Turning the lever clockwise first activates the shower, then gradually increases the temperature.
Shower Panels
A modern all-in-one option, shower panels include a valve (often thermostatic), diverter, fixed and handheld shower heads, and several body jets. Installation is straightforward, but they may require higher water pressure. Adding a shower pump can help ensure optimal performance.
Customized Showers
Today, standardized components allow you to design a personalized shower. Mix and match valves, diverters, and shower heads to create a system that suits your preferences, whether you desire multiple jets or unique configurations.
Electric Showers
Electric showers heat water on demand, requiring only a cold water supply. This simplifies plumbing and is a popular choice for en-suites.
Power Showers
With an integrated pump, power showers enhance water pressure. They require both hot and cold water supplies but do not heat the water themselves. They are ideal for homes with low water pressure, like bungalows.
In summary, whether you prefer simplicity or a customized experience, understanding your shower options can help you make an informed decision. Happy showering!
