AMIE HAND CONTROL
Echoes of early 20th century Paris. Amie uses ceramic cartridge valves. Full flow in a 1/4 turn.
MANETTE HAND CONTROL
Simple styling and great with soapy hands. Manette uses ceramic cartridge valves. Full flow in a 1/4 turn.
- DIFFERENT SHOWERS FOR DIFFERENT USES
Shower Enclosure or Over-Bath?
What’s the best shower for you? It’s the one that fits best with your lifestyle. Do you wash your hair every time you shower? Or, do you want the full drench experience?
Choose a concealed shower if you want to conceal the majority of the valving in the wall. Just the hand controls and shower head will be visible. Great to keep clean and gives you a minimalist look. This format has the option of fixed, overhead showers or a simple hand shower.
Exposed showers are the alternative. The exposed design keeps all of the shower’s parts on show. Great for an ultra traditional look and added wow factor. This format has both head and hand showers for versatility.
Opt for either 5″, 8″ or 12″ diameter shower heads.
We’re bath manufacturers too, so we’ve designed showers to work with bath tubs. Take a look at these models and see what fits your needs.
- WHICH SURFACE FINISH?
Our Bath Taps and Mixers are hand polished for extra lustre and either chrome or bright nickel plated.
We’re all familiar with chrome. It’s used abundantly on taps, lights, door fittings and numerous other places. It’s popular for good reason. Its hard, durable and shiny. If you want something that’s easy to clean, chrome is your friend.
Bright nickel is equally hard and shiny. It’s slight golden hue gives a subtle, up-market quality. Nickel however, needs looking after. It needs occasional polishing and can only be cleaned with soapy water. If maintained, nickel will remain beautiful for years.
CHROME FINISH. Ubiquitous, hard wearing and easy to maintain.
BRIGHT NICKEL FINISH. Warm in colour, hard wearing. Needs an occasional buff to keep it like new.
- SHOWER HEADS
Choose from either 5 inch, 8 inch, or 12 inch diameter shower heads. Our shower heads are hand spun using thick gauge brass and then carefully polished. Finished in Chrome.
- WATER FLOW
All of our Bathroom Shower Valve fittings can be used with high and low pressure water systems however, gravity water systems set at 0.3 bar (5 psi-g) may need a pump to assist a shower valve’s flow.
Hot water systems using a pressurised cylinder will give good performance for both the taps and your shower.
We supply our Pressure Equalising Valve (PEV) to all of our shower systems. This eliminates the risk of temperature variation when in use – a great safety feature, especially with children in the home.
With safety in mind, we always recommend you fit a Thermostatic Mixing Valve (TMV) to your hot water system. This will reduce the hot water temperature flowing from your taps to a safe maximum level. Generally, these can be set between 38-46 degrees C. Speak to your installer for more advice.
