Choosing Your Shower Features
Thermostatic vs manual
Thermostatic maintains a constant temperature by doing the mixing of hot and cold itself. Manual showers require you to mix hot and cold water without any automatic safety regulator.
Single outlet vs dual outlet
Single outlet sends water to only one destination, normally only a drench head or a riser. Dual outlet features two separate fixtures, normally a drench head and a riser, sometimes can come with a separate diverter valve
Shower Head Options
Choose from drench rainfall heads, handsets, risers or both. Risers give you the option to set the height of your riser head.
Shower Valves
Concealed valves give you the option to separate the controls from your drench head or riser etc. Making it ideal for walk in shower enclosures and larger enclosures. Exposed valves come together with the drench head and riser, this makes it easier to fit.
Check Your Water Pressure
Your home's water pressure determines which showers will perform at their best. Use our water pressure guide to check your pressure and find the right match.

FAQs
What water pressure do I need for a shower?
The required water pressure depends on the shower you choose. Some showers are designed for low-pressure systems, while rainfall and dual outlet showers often require higher pressure. Always check the product's minimum operating pressure before purchasing.
What is the difference between a thermostatic and manual shower?
A thermostatic shower regulates water temperature automatically, while a manual shower requires you to adjust the hot and cold controls yourself. Thermostatic showers are generally recommended for families and everyday convenience.
Can I replace an exposed shower with a concealed shower?
Yes, but this often requires alterations to your bathroom walls to hide the pipework and install the concealed valve. The complexity of the installation depends on your existing plumbing and bathroom layout.
Are concealed showers difficult to install?
Concealed showers usually require pipework to be hidden within the wall, making them better suited to new bathrooms or major renovations. Exposed showers are generally quicker and easier to install as the plumbing remains visible.
Which shower is best for a family bathroom?
A thermostatic shower with both a fixed shower head and handheld handset is often the best choice for family bathrooms. It offers consistent temperature control, flexibility and improved safety for children and older users.
