Shower Types Explained
Choosing the right shower depends on your plumbing system, bathroom layout and desired aesthetic.
Thermostatic Showers
Thermostatic showers maintain a consistent water temperature, even if water is used elsewhere in the home.
Benefits include:
-
Improved safety
-
Reduced temperature fluctuation
-
Ideal for family bathrooms
-
Greater comfort during use
Thermostatic control is now standard in most modern shower upgrades.
Concealed Shower Valves
Concealed shower valves hide pipework behind the wall, leaving only the controls and shower head visible.
Best suited to:
-
Contemporary bathroom renovations
-
Minimalist designs
-
Full refurbishments where pipework can be repositioned
They create a clean, streamlined appearance.
Exposed Shower Valves
Exposed valves keep pipework visible and are often easier to install during straightforward replacements.
Suitable for:
-
Replacing existing exposed showers
-
Traditional bathroom styles
-
Projects where wall alteration is limited
Rainfall Shower Systems
Rainfall shower heads provide wider coverage and a softer water flow, creating a more immersive showering experience.
Often paired with:
-
Ceiling-mounted heads
-
Wall-mounted arms
-
Dual outlet systems with handheld attachments
Rainfall systems are particularly popular in modern upgrades where comfort and aesthetics are prioritised.
Dual Outlet Shower Systems
Dual outlet showers allow switching between:
-
Overhead rainfall head
-
Handheld shower
-
Body jets (in some systems)
They offer flexibility and suit both family and luxury bathroom layouts.
Traditional Shower Systems
Traditional shower valves feature classic controls and decorative detailing.
Often finished in:
-
Chrome
-
Brushed brass
-
Gold tones
These complement traditional bathroom suites and period-style interiors.
Choosing the Right Shower for Your Bathroom
Selecting the right shower involves more than appearance.
1. Water Pressure Compatibility
Before purchasing, check:
-
Minimum bar pressure requirement
-
Whether your system is combi, gravity-fed or pumped
-
Flow rate compatibility
Many modern thermostatic showers require medium to high pressure systems.
2. Concealed vs Exposed Installation
Concealed systems require wall cavity space and are best installed during renovations. Exposed systems are simpler for replacement projects.
3. Single vs Dual Outlet
Single outlet: one shower head only.
Dual outlet: rainfall + handheld for flexibility.
4. Bathroom Size & Layout
For compact bathrooms:
-
Consider slimline shower valves
-
Wall-mounted fixed heads
-
Compact riser kits
For larger spaces:
-
Overhead rainfall systems
-
Dual outlet thermostatic valves
-
Ceiling-mounted heads
Shower Finishes & Design Trends
Finish choice defines the overall style.
Chrome Showers
The most popular finish in the UK. Durable, easy to clean and versatile.
Matt Black Showers
Provide bold contrast and suit contemporary bathrooms with light tiles or stone finishes.
Brushed Brass Showers
Offer warmth and subtle luxury without appearing overly decorative.
Brushed Nickel & Modern Metallic Finishes
Provide softer, contemporary alternatives to polished chrome.
Shower Technology & Build Quality
Thermostatic Cartridges
Modern thermostatic cartridges regulate temperature automatically, preventing sudden changes.
Solid Brass Construction
High-quality shower valves are manufactured from solid brass for strength and corrosion resistance.
