Shower Mixer Buyers’ Guide

Bathroom head showers buyers’ guide
Premium bathrooms need premium showers – and now they can be yours if you live in Edinburgh, Glasgow or across Scotland. However, before buying you should consider exactly what you need from head showers and shower mixers – which is why Ekco, a specialist in quality bathrooms, has put together this bathroom head showers buyers’ guide.

What type of bathroom shower heads are there?
If you thought that all shower heads are the same then think again – because there are a host of different shower heads available, including:

• Shower mixers: A mixer shower takes water from both hot and cold water supplies and mixes them to reach the desired temperature. They are ideal for homes with plentiful supplies of hot water.
• Thermostatic mixer showers: A thermostatic controller gives the convenience of an inbuilt thermostat and may include a shut down feature in case there is a dramatic change in the water flow. They offer great flexibility and some modern options even come with remote control features.
• Shower towers: Unlike the traditional shower head, shower towers aim to target the whole body with directional jets.

Does your shower have the power?
Perhaps the key decision when choosing shower heads is whether you opt for electric showers or power showers. Electric showers are often more economical because you only heat as much water as you need to use. However, power showers generally offer a more invigorating experience.
