When designing a bathroom or kitchen, concerns about regulating the water temperature is usually the last thing on one’s mind. Instead, most homeowners concentrate on the aesthetics, such as how the tiles would look with the sink, or the kind of shower taps to choose that will compliment everything in the bathroom.

It isn’t long after a bathroom renovation job that folks realise the importance of effectively regulating the water temperature in their showers, it can become a big issue, especially when children and elderly are concerned because they may find it difficult to change the water temperature quickly, if needed. It happens, unexpected cold water and hot water can spray out of the shower-head and catch people off guard.

In the shower there is no space to quickly escape potentially scalding hot water spraying out from the shower-head, and taking the time to juggle between the hot and cold knobs, while being sprayed with either ice cold or scalding hot water, will seem like a very long time. This is when thermostatic mixer taps come in to save the day.

The Safety Benefits of Thermostatic Mixer Taps

Often children or guests that want to use the sink or shower do not know which is the hot and cold knobs of the mixer taps they are using, and they could end up using too much cold or hot water, so care is needed to eliminate any potential risks to the skin from unexpectedly scalding the skin. Fortunately, a thermostatic mixer tap allows you to set a safe water temperature, and when water temperature rises above the level you set, then the thermostat function will cut off the water supply immediately.

Such a plumbing device can easily be installed in all your taps and showers, for the safety and convenience of everyone in the house.

Easy Installation – No Construction Required

Most property owners fear plumbers because they believe that every plumbing job requires some construction work, such as removing tiles and digging into walls to reach the plumbing. That is not the case when installing Mixermate – the easy-to-use, anti-scalding tapware.

Thermostatic mixer taps are truly ideal for use in homes, hospitals, nursing homes, retirement villages and all types of care facilities, and the best thing about installing these is that there is no drilling into the walls, changing washers, or even removing any tiles. And, it is much easier to use than older tapware because it only has one lever that controls water flow, instead of two.

Australian made, Mixermate is the perfect thermostat brand that you seek for your home because it gives more benefits than you can ever think of, until you use it for yourself.

A lot has been said recently about the temperature of water in the home and its effects on skin. Several scientific researchers claim that the face is the most prone area of the body to damage when exposed to scalding hot water. Although, hot water does open the pores of skin, scalding hot water is too much and could cause damage. So, having bathroom taps that control water temperature effectively is important.

Skin Care Advantages of Thermostatic Showers

Most folks are aware of the benefits of hot water on the skin, in fact, all parts of the body benefit not just the facial area, from the soothing effects of hot water. So, how do thermostatic showers come into this whole skin care scenario? There are various degrees of hot water, and because everyone has their own temperature preference, precisely controlling the temperature is where thermostatic shower taps come into play.

Extreme Water Temperatures Cause Damage

The people who say that steamy hot water opens skin pores for better cleansing do have scientific backing. On the other hand, it has been proven that excessive temperatures can cause skin tissue damage. While a splash of icy cold or steamy hot water might make us feel good, it strips away natural skin oils, say dermatologists.

Skin Care for Your Complete Body

When most people think of skin care, it usually boils down to just the facial area. But, true skin care uses the right temperature, to prevent damage and to naturally exfoliate the skin of the entire body, and, the best way to treat the skin of the whole body is while showering. That is why thermostatic showers are getting hugely popular because people can apply the same exact water temperature every time they take a shower, without the risk of scalding from unexpected extreme hot temperatures.

Skin care concerns everyone, not just adults, but children too. This is another reason why installing a thermostatic tap in the shower is a good idea because it is an effective way to protect kids from scalding water.

Ease of Installation and Ease of Use

With the help of a plumber, it is easy to install because there is no drilling required and no tiles need removing. Mixermate thermostatic shower taps fit over existing plumbing and can be installed in about an hour, and they allow you to custom set the water temperature to your liking, so that you enjoy the same consistent water temperature every time you shower. And, with one simple lever, there is no wrestling between two facet knobs to adjust water temperature, which is an advantage in anyone’s skin care regime.
