Many people look upon showers as a quick and efficient way to freshen up. This is true, but did you know that your beloved shower is also a masseur, psychiatrist and healer? Every time you pamper yourself under its warm spray, you have the option to call upon any of these services.

Mentally – showers can help to wash away the stresses of the day and calm the mind.

Physically – your shower can act as a masseur by preparing your muscles for vigorous exercise. In turn, they can also sooth and alleviate any soreness after a workout.

Healing – when the steam from your shower is misting up your bathroom mirrors, it is also relieving any symptoms of congestion. Colds and flu are easier to manage when steam thins the mucus as it helps to clear a stuffy head and alleviate sinus pain.

To benefit from these experiences it is essential that you have complete shower safety. Shower valves ensure that your water temperature remains constant throughout, even when the rest of the family are using the dishwasher or flushing the toilet. This means that you can enjoy your shower without the rest of the household having to grind to a halt.

Thermostatic shower valves switch off the water supply to the shower if the temperature rises above a certain level.  This can provide peace of mind for families with elderly relatives or children as there is no fear of them being scolded.

If you want to have a relaxing shower without the stress of upsetting the family routine and the worry of battling with fluctuating water temperatures, take a look at the many shower valves available at Bathroom2u to ensure that your water fun doesn’t end in a water fight.

During these uncertain economic times, revamping your bathroom may be a stretch too far if you are on a tight budget. Even replacing your shower might be an excessive expense. However, you can improve the look and performance of your shower easily and affordably by simply replacing your shower valves. In the postmodern age, there are a wide range of shower valves in a number of designs, to raise the appearance and function of your shower.

Shower valves come in exposed or concealed designs. Exposed valves are simply fixed to the wall, whereas concealed ones are fixed into the wall with just the controls visible. Once you have decided the style of your shower valves, you can then choose the specific function. Manual valves allow you to control flow and temperature yourself, whereas thermostatic valves can be set to a specific pressure and temperature, avoiding the risk of scalding or a sudden lack of flow. Diverter valves on the other hand allow you to switch the flow of water between your bath taps and shower. Non-concussive shower valves have an easy push button that switches of automatically, usually after about thirty seconds, thus saving on your water supply.

Shower valves can be found in a variety of sleek, contemporary designs, and can make a big difference at a low cost. In fact shower valves are just one of the many affordable improvements that you can make to your bathroom. At Bathroom2u we have a range of products and equipment to give your bathroom a makeover without breaking the bank.
