Exposed vs concealed
Exposed controls keep the valve visible; concealed valves sit behind the wall with only the plate and controls on show. Choose for architecture first, then finish.
Showers
Shower buying guide
Calm technical clarity — use product pages for verified pressure, glass and dimension data.
Guide topics
Twin outlet vs three-way
Twin-outlet systems typically serve a head and handset. Three-way systems add a third route — often a bath spout — where the product configuration supports it.
Thermostatic control
Thermostatic valves help hold a set temperature as supply conditions change. Always read the product configuration for verified pressure and outlet details.
Minimum pressure
Where verified, minimum operating pressure is shown on the product. Missing pressure is never invented.
Enclosure opening type
Sliding suits limited swing space; bifold folds inward for compact rooms; pivot offers a wide clear opening.
Glass thickness
Glass thickness is shown only where structured product data confirms it — typically 6mm or 8mm on enclosure families.
Enclosure dimensions
Select width and depth from the real SKU options in each family. Adjustment ranges appear only when commercially stated.
Quadrant vs offset quadrant
Standard quadrants use equal or near-equal sides; offset quadrants add asymmetric depth for extra showering space.
Wetroom screen planning
Start with panel width and glass profile, then consider return or flipper panels only where a verified optional accessory relationship exists.
Tray and waste selection
Match tray shape to enclosure footprint, then choose a waste diameter that the tray requires. Compatibility is never inferred from size alone.
Bath screen selection
Bath screens remain in the Baths department. Use them when bathing and showering share one vessel — not as a substitute for a full enclosure.
