Shower Kits - Thermostatic Mixer Shower Kit, 180mm Round Head & Hand Held - Corelba Basic

So you’re looking at new showers but have no idea which style or accessories are needed?

Then read on, as this guide will hopefully help you narrow down your preferences and purchase the shower of your dreams.

At BathEmpire, we offer three distinct types of shower kits to fit within your shower enclosure:

If you are installing a straight or shower bath, then you may also consider purchasing a bath shower mixer tap instead.

Concealed Shower Kits

The pipework remains concealed behind the wall with our concealed shower kits. Only the chrome valve, shower head and shower arm will be visible.

A range of sizes and styles are available by browsing through the concealed shower kits area on our website. However, if none of these tickle your fancy, we also offer the option for you to construct your own concealed shower.

The key components of a concealed shower kit are:

Shower Kits - Thermostatic Mixer Shower Kit, 200mm Square Head - Katla Finest

Shower Kits - Thermostatic Mixer Shower Kit, 180mm Square Head - Korie Basic

Onto this base, you can install a number of additional outlets, such as a hand held shower head, shower body jets or bath filler. The concealed mixer valve you purchase will depend on the number of secondary devices you wish to include.

Lightweight Showers

We also offer a range of chrome effect shower heads. These are specially constructed from a polymer to form a lightweight shower head. The rapid heat cycle moulding technique also gives you an unbeatable burnished finish.

The range of designs is wider than those available in the solid brass shower head range. With the lightweight nature, they will put less stress on your plaster wall.

The shower heads are fully compatible with any valve and shower arm, and the chrome effect finish will blend perfectly with other chrome plated units.

Exposed Shower Kits

With exposed shower kits, most of the pipework is apparent, and in view. The exposed shower kits at BathEmpire consist of bar shower valves, hand held shower heads and main chrome shower heads.

The individual styling, such as an LED shower head, or a curved or straight shower arm, depends on your personal style.

Shower Kits - Round Thermostatic Bar Mixer Shower Kit - Madill Premium Range

Bar Mixer Shower Kits

The final shower option is the bar mixer shower kit. These shower kits consist of a wall mounted valve and hand held shower head. All our shower kits are thermostatic and are TMV2 certified. This means the valve will cap the maximum temperature of the hot water, ensuring safety for the whole family.

Bath Filler Bar Mixer Kits

The bath filler bar mixer kits are identical to the bar shower kits, however they used to fill up your bathtub.

At BathEmpire, we offer a large range of showers in a multitude of styles.

However, if these shower packages do not appeal to you, we also offer individual shower components to enable you to create the shower of your dreams.
