Understanding Shower Valves
Shower valves are not just about controlling water temperature; they're about enhancing your showering experience, ensuring safety, and adding a touch of elegance to your bathroom. Let's explore the options available at Tapron UK.
Concealed Thermostatic Shower Valves
Concealed thermostatic valves are designed for a sleek, minimalistic look, with the working parts hidden within the wall. These valves maintain your desired water temperature precisely, regardless of any changes in the water supply, ensuring a safe and comfortable shower every time.
Exposed Shower Mixer Valves
For those who prefer a classic or industrial aesthetic, exposed shower mixer valves are a great choice. These units combine hot and cold water supplies into one pipe that sits externally on the wall, offering easy installation and maintenance.
Bar Shower Valves
Bar valves are a popular choice for their ease of use and modern appearance. These valves mount directly onto the wall and feature separate controls for temperature and flow, making them user-friendly and stylish.

Choosing the Right Number of Outlets
The number of outlets on your shower valve determines how many shower components can be operated simultaneously. Tapron UK offers valves with different outlet options to suit various setups.
1 Outlet Shower Valves
Perfect for simple shower setups, 1 outlet valves control a single component, such as a fixed showerhead or a hand shower.
2 Outlet Shower Valves
These valves allow you to operate two shower components – for example, a fixed showerhead and a hand shower – either separately or simultaneously for a more versatile showering experience.
3 Outlet Shower Valves
For the ultimate in luxury and flexibility, 3 outlet valves can control multiple components, such as a fixed head, a hand shower, and body jets, offering a fully customizable showering experience.
Enhancing Your Shower with Sets
For a coordinated look and optimized functionality, consider our Concealed Shower Sets. These sets include a concealed valve along with a matching showerhead and other components, ensuring everything works together seamlessly for an indulgent shower experience.
