Showering has had to be the best part of the day, let’s face it. It’s the peaceful pause in the bustling day when you may think about your life. Showering properly is important. So that you may enjoy your shower more, we’ll share with you five reasons why you should change the way you shower with Mixermate thermostatic mixers.

Perfect Temperature Every Time

A small amount of the hot tap, followed by a small amount of the cold tap.  A little bit colder, perhaps. That’s too cold; maybe a bit less cold instead. We are all familiar with the challenge of finding the ideal hot/cold balance for the best shower experience. It bothers you, and it keeps you from spending time reflectively addressing the challenges facing the world. The Mixermate thermostatic shower mixers mix hot and cold water to provide the ideal showering temperature. Once the temperature is adjusted, turning the shower on and off is easy, ensuring that the water is always mixed at the appropriate temperature.

When Someone Uses Another Tap, There Are No Longer Any Cold or Hot Water Bursts

Nothing is worse than being stuck in the corner of the shower. The water has become icy cold because someone else flushed the toilet or ran the sink. After turning off the cold water to resume your shower, you are scalded by the hot water when the temperature changes once more. A cartridge packed with wax is used in a thermostatic shower to balance the flow of hot and cold water. The thermostatic shower valve balances the flow if hot or cold water is reduced to maintain a constant temperature in the shower.

Easy to Operate for the Elderly or People with Disability

As we’ve already discussed, there is no more juggling between hot and cold taps, just an on/off switch and a temperature setting functionality. This makes it ideal for the elderly, people with disability, and any assisted living setting. Some thermostatic shower valves have rubberized grips for those with dexterity concerns. A thermostatic shower will typically allow you to turn it off and restart it at the proper temperature the next time you use it.

Safe for Young Children

How nerve-wracking is it to imagine a young child playing with the taps while in the shower and getting third-degree burns? The good news is that some thermostatic showers have a safety button at 38 degrees. This means that the maximum temperature that will be supplied, even if a young child decides to mess with the temperature settings, is 38 degrees. The only method to disable this safety feature is to turn the handle to a higher temperature while pressing a downward-facing button. The valve adjusts the temperature to avoid hot bursts while balancing hot and cold-water flow. Most thermostatic shower valves incorporate a shut-off feature to avoid burns if the cold-water flow stops. Indeed, an excellent anti-scald tapware perfect for homes with young children.

Tap Washers No More!

Without changing the tile or piping, thermostatic showers can replace existing two-tap showers. The replacement of the shower seat, which often houses the washer, is a step in the procedure. This eliminates leaky showers, the yearly expense of replacing tap washers, and, most importantly, water waste!

One of the simplest and most economical ways to update your bathroom, whether you’re building one from scratch, rebuilding it, or just giving it a facelift, is by choosing the appropriate type of taps. And when it comes to taps, you have two excellent options: a mixer or single lever taps. Finding the one that best fits your lifestyle is crucial.

In this blog post, we’ll give a brief overview of both types of bathroom taps, highlighting their distinctions and how each will improve your life and your way of living. This will make it easier to choose the ideal taps for your bathroom.

Single Lever Taps

The water flow is controlled by a single lever on single lever taps. It is customary to turn the tap to the right for increasingly colder water and to the left for increasingly hotter water. You can also set the water temperature using a lever on the side. The advantage of a single lever is that once you’ve found the water temperature that works best for you, you can just leave the tap’s lever pointing that way. In addition, it’s easy to regulate the water flow because it gets stronger the higher you push the lever.

Additionally, single-lever taps are easy to operate. They are currently popular in bathrooms because anybody, from small children to the elderly, can do so easily. Single-lever taps also have an exquisite appearance and come in various finishes and styles. Still, timeless chrome plating is the most popular option. Single lever taps are frequently used in showers and bathtubs but are also often installed on bathroom sinks.

Mixer Taps

A single spout on a mixer tap can dispense both hot and cold water. Mixer taps come in various designs and are typically operated by a single lever, but they can also be operated by conventional taps that you can turn ON and OFF. The two types of mixer taps are monobloc mixer taps, which have everything on one main tap body, and three-hole mixer taps, which have separate taps but just one spout. Thermostats built into mixer taps are a great feature for bathrooms because they make it simple to set the temperature to your desire and ensure that it always turns on at that setting. This feature is especially useful for showers and baths. The likelihood of water waste is significantly decreased because the water reaches the required temperature rapidly.

Mixer taps are exceptional because you may utilise them effectively in the bathroom’s bath, shower, bidet, and basin areas. They are available with water-saving functions and come in various designs, colours, and finishes to increase water efficiency. However, the most fashionable options nowadays are stainless steel and chrome since they effortlessly complement any bathroom decor and offer a timeless appearance. Above all, because mixer taps are easy to use, young and old family members may use them. Consequently, this essential component should not be overlooked in an environmentally friendly bathroom.

Mixer and single lever taps are excellent bathroom additions; the choice ultimately comes down to your preferences for functionality and style.
