Why thermostatic showers are great for families

Looking for a family friendly shower that is safe for children, whilst offering great performance? Thermostatic showers are often the answer.

From minimising the risk of scalding to consistency in performance, here’s why thermostatic showers are a great option for family homes:

SAFETY

Thermostatic showers are designed with safety in mind. Unlike most regular showers, thermostatic showers have a built-in thermostatic mixing valve to mix both hot and cold water to provide a consistent, pre-determined temperature. This is designed to prevent scalding, or thermic shock from sudden temperature changes when another tap, or shower, is turned on.

If the cold-water supply fails, thermostatic showers are also designed to protect you by instantly shutting down the shower to avoid any scalding or injuries.

DESIGN

Showers with thermostatic mixing valves are becoming increasingly popular, and we have a wide range to offer, there’s a design for everybody.

Our Bar Showers allow for easy instalments and retrofits, as well as having family friendly features.

A great example of this is the PRISM shower (PM SHXMMCTFF C), which features a thermostatic exposed cool touch bar which ensures it stays cool to the touch. The PRISM also features the innovative Wallmount 12, which includes front-facing isolation valves, so installers don’t need to turn the water supply off at the mains making for quick and easy replacements of bar showers in the future.

These three thermostatic showers are great options for families looking for different styles:
