Choosing the Right Shower
- Water Pressure — Check your home's water pressure before choosing a shower. Thermostatic valves work best with combi boilers or high-pressure systems. Digital showers may require a pump with gravity-fed systems.
- Number of Outlets — A single-outlet valve controls one shower head. A dual-outlet (diverter) valve lets you switch between, for example, an overhead head and a handset.
- Finish — Match your shower valve and fittings to your taps and accessories for a coordinated look. Popular finishes include chrome, brushed brass, gunmetal, and matt black.
- Thermostatic vs Manual — Thermostatic valves maintain a set temperature regardless of pressure changes elsewhere in the system, making them safer and more comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thermostatic shower valve?
A thermostatic shower valve automatically maintains your chosen water temperature, even if someone flushes a toilet or turns on a tap elsewhere in the house. This makes them safer (particularly for children and elderly users) and more comfortable than manual valves, which can fluctuate in temperature with changes in water pressure.
What is the difference between a concealed and exposed shower?
A concealed shower valve is installed within the wall, with only the trim plate and controls visible — giving a sleek, minimalist finish. An exposed shower has all the pipework and valve body on show, which is easier to install and suits traditional or industrial bathroom styles.
Do I need a pump for a digital shower?
It depends on your water system. Digital showers like the Aqualisa Quartz Classic work well with combi boilers and unvented cylinders. If you have a gravity-fed system with low pressure, you may need a pump. Check the product specifications or contact us for advice.
