Exposed Bar Mixer Showers

Exposed shower valves come in a range of styles, finishes and price points. From thermostatically controlled valves that use a thermostat to regulate the temperature to more traditional hot/cold mixer valves. Exposed shower valves are usually fitted inside the showering area to the wall but can be fitted outside if required. Exposed shower valves generally supply water to a handset on an adjustable riser rail, but are also available with fixed heads.

How exposed shower valves work

Exposed shower valves use water from your hot water system (either combi or tank fed) and cold water from the mains. 
Exposed shower valves are perfect for combi boiler systems and high-pressure systems. If you have a tank fed system and low pressure, please ensure you choose an exposed shower valve suitable for low pressure and the pressure in your building.

Thermostatically Controlled Exposed Shower Valves

Thermostatically controlled exposed shower valves maintain the temperature of the water from the shower by reducing the flow depending on the temperature of the available water. This help to stop burning or cold shocks when another member of the household turns on a tap in the building. Exposed shower valves are also available in none-Thermostatically controlled versions which work like a mixer tap where you control the flow of hot and cold to achieve the desired temperature.
