In the realm of modern bathroom design, the shower has evolved into a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation. Shower bar valves represent a key component in creating the ultimate shower experience, offering a perfect blend of functionality, style, and convenience. Also known as exposed valves, these fixtures control the flow and temperature of water in a shower system and are installed on the surface of the wall, typically in a vertical orientation, unlike concealed designs. Tapron offers an exclusive range of valves and shower fittings to suit the requirements of all homes and spaces, extending to modern and traditional ranges.
The shower valve bar features a sleek and minimalist design, with a horizontal bar that houses the control handles or knobs for adjusting water flow and temperature. These are popular in modern bathrooms for their ease of installation, accessibility, and versatility in design. Crafted with solid brass or stainless steel construction, these valves embody durability and resilience, standing strong against rust and oxidation. This robust build ensures longevity, promising prolonged usage and reliability in any bathroom setting.

Design Configuration: Tailoring Your Shower Experience with Bar Shower Valves
At Tapron, the bar shower mixer valve collection boasts a diverse palette of colours and finishes, catering to a spectrum of design preferences. From striking black and luxurious gold to classic chrome, and more, there is a finish to complement every aesthetic vision. Designed to withstand the demands of heavy-traffic bathroom environments, these valves maintain their pristine charm even after years of extensive use powered by quality coating in stunning brushed, polished and matt finishes.
At the core of the design is a horizontal bar that serves as the main structure of the valve. This shower bar valve is usually mounted on the surface of the wall and acts as a frame for housing the valve components, providing stability and support while also adding a modern touch to the shower area. Positioned along the horizontal bar on either end, the control handles or knobs allow users to adjust the water flow and temperature. These handles may protrude from the bar or be seamlessly integrated into its design, depending on the model. These controls are often labelled with symbols or markings to indicate their function and make operation intuitive for users.
The shower bar has easy installation properties allowed by two sleek circular plates that mount the fitting compactly on the wall, remaining in place even with extensive use. Proper connection to the hot and cold water supply lines is crucial for the performance of these valves and should mounted at a convenient height and within easy reach for maximum comfort.
