Shower Valves

Tapron offers a comprehensive arrangement of designer shower valves in diverse configurations, styles, colours and suitability. These universal pieces are functional pieces for the modern bathroom and increase practicality by controlling the flow and temperature of water to enhance your showering experience. These valves can be paired with a diverse array of shower fittings including shower arms, heads, risers, bath spouts and more, for a combination kit that offers a venture that falls nothing short of that of a spa or resort.

Shower mixing valves are essential components of any bathroom, serving two primary functions: controlling the flow of water and regulating its temperature.

Flow Control: The addition of a shower valve allows users to adjust the rate at which water flows from the outlet. This feature enables users to customise the shower experience according to their preferences with spray patterns ranging from a gentle trickle to a powerful stream of water.

Temperature Regulation: Regulating water flow and temperature at a precise balance is a crucial function of these valves. By blending hot and cold water in precise proportions, the fixtures ensure that users can enjoy showers at their desired temperature without the risk of scalding or discomfort.

Concealed and Exposed Shower Mixer Valves

At Tapron, the collection is narrowed down to two categories to enable homeowners to choose the basics while shopping for the perfect pieces. This includes whether you need a concealed or exposed fixture depending on space limitations, aesthetic value and other such considerations.

Concealed Valves: A concealed shower mixer valve is designed to be installed within the wall, with only the control knobs or handles visible on the surface. The handles range from crossheads, levers, round to square buttons depending on whether you want a minimal look or a vintage element. These handles are housed within a base plate that is to be mounted horizontally or vertically, depending on the design structure and configurations.

The recessed shower mixer valve helps save space in the shower area since the majority of the valve mechanism is hidden behind the wall. Offering flexibility in terms of design and customisation, it can be paired with various styles of fixed showerheads, hand showers, and other accessories to create a personalised showering experience. These valves are also less susceptible to accidental damage or knocks compared to exposed valves with their recessed design which prolongs the span of the product.

Exposed Valves: The exposed shower mixer valve category features a visible valve body that is mounted onto the surface of the wall with the entire valve mechanism, including the control handles and connections exposed from the mounted surface. This selection is relatively easy to install since they do not require any recessing into the wall, eliminating the need for complicated plumbing modifications.

The bar shower valve provides accessible controls with the handles, typically mounted on either side of the valve horizontally or vertically. They can also be easily replaced or upgraded without the need for extensive wall modifications which adds to the many boons of this buy!

Understanding The Number Of Outlets

1 Outlet Shower Valves: A single outlet concealed shower valve is designed to control the flow and temperature of water for a single shower fixture, such as a showerhead or a hand shower. Users can adjust the handles to achieve the desired water temperature and flow intensity. With only one outlet, these valves offer a simple showering experience and are easy to operate, making them suitable for residential and commercial settings.

2 Outlet Shower Valves: The 2 outlet shower valve is designed to control the flow and temperature of water for two separate shower fixtures. This allows users to have multiple showering options, typically via a fixed overhead showerhead and a handheld showerhead. Choosing the water outlet is enabled by a diverter that is usually mounted in the middle with the flow controls on either side.

3 Outlet Shower Valves: Designed to control the flow and temperature of water for three separate shower fixtures, a 3 outlet shower valve can be paired with multiple showerheads, hand showers, body jets, or even bathtub fillers and spouts. Like 2 outlet valves, this selection feature separate handles or knobs for each outlet, allowing users to adjust the water flow rate and temperature independently for each fixture.

Thermostatic Showers

Offered in both concealed and exposed thermostatic shower valve designs, the selection is devised to maintain a constant water temperature, regardless of fluctuations in flow and regulation. It promotes safety in the bath space, allowing a consistent and safe showering experience, making these family-friendly adornments. One of the primary functions of thermostatic valves is to prevent scalding accidents by regulating the water temperature where in cases of a sudden loss of cold water supply or a surge in hot water temperature, the valve reacts quickly to shut off the flow to prevent the user from being exposed to dangerously hot water.

Concealed Shower Sets

Concealed showers offer a sleek and minimalist solution for modern bathrooms, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Its components include the shower valve, shower head, body jets, handset and shower wastes, and vary from set to set. By concealing the structure within the wall, these sets help save space in the shower area, creating a clean and uncluttered look.

These shower mixer sets come in a variety of configurations, allowing users to customise their showering experience with different combinations of showerheads, hand showers, and body jets. It provides a ready-made solution to tailor your needs and preferences without the taxing responsibility of picking each product piece by piece.
