What exposed installation entails and when it is a suitable option

The classic installation option in the shower is: an exposed thermostatic mixer and hand shower. In the bath tub, add in the bath filler. However, would you like to enjoy more features or have you always wanted a large overhead shower? If so, a shower system would be your best option: for more comfort, more shower and more fun with water. On this state-of-the-art unit, which consists of an exposed thermostatic mixer, overhead shower and hand shower, everything matches seamlessly in terms of its design and function.

"Renovation light" – easy to install on existing connections

These all-in-one systems are attractive if you want to modernise your bathroom without any hassle: simply install the exposed units on existing connections. The connection dimensions are standardised, so all hansgrohe systems will fit in your bathroom. Even if you live in rented accommodation, the upgrade is worth implementing, because exposed installation non-thermostatic and thermostatic mixers and also shower systems can be dismantled just as quickly.

How does concealed installation work? Integrating your thermostatic mixer(s) into the wall so that they are flat and seamless saves space and makes for an elegantly understated look. This minimalist design offers you more space to move around when showering or bathing. Installation is somewhat more complex, because the technology is installed in a base set behind the wall.
