Exposed showers can be fitted directly on to the wall with the mixing valve in view. Each product includes the mixing valve, a slide rail with wall fixing brackets, a shower hose, a clamp bracket, a multi function handset, and a soap dish (although this may not be supplied with all models).
This makes the product easier to install as there will be little disruption to the bathroom wall. To make installation even easier consider utilising exposed pipework which requires no wall excavation at all. However, it’s worth remembering that an exposed Mixer shower’s controls are normally larger and could encroach upon a small showering area.
