Shower Valves

A shower valve is simply the switches or handles that operate the flow and temperature of your shower water. These will sometimes be fitted to the wall away from the shower head or attached at the base of your shower rail/hose.

All of the valves available on Bathroom Supastore are whats known as thermostatic. A thermostatic shower valve works by ensuring the temperature of the water is maintained throughout your shower. Because of this feature a thermostatic shower valve is the safest type for children and those who have mobility problems.

Most shower valves are concealed, where all the plumbing work is hidden behind the wall although exposed shower valves are still available and more common place in a traditional style shower system. Some shower valves are in the form of a solid horizontal bar while others are positioned on the wall and operated via rotating taps which are designed in a square, cross or circular style, in keeping with the rest of your bathroom fittings to ensure the room has an overall coordinated look.
