Shower System with Mixer

Despite its title, this model has no visible tube: the photos show an arm coming out of the wall to carry a square shower head, a square control plate, a hand shower on its holder and a wall outlet for its hose. The supplier also describes it as concealed.

The pipes run behind the tiles: the shower looks stripped back, with nothing sticking out except the useful parts.

It is aimed at a new walk-in shower or a full renovation, where the wall is open anyway. The matt black runs from the arm to the plate, with no chrome part to break up the set.

The square plate carries a single round dial. Its graduation runs from red to blue and marks an “OFF” stop: you turn it to open the water and choose your temperature. The photos show no second dial, and the supplier does not detail the split between shower head and hand shower.

The rectangular hand shower sits in a black wall holder, next to the plate. Its hose runs down to a wall outlet placed lower down.

The square shower head, carried by an angled arm, gives a clearly vertical rain in the last atmosphere photo.

A photo shows the body to be built in: a metal box with its cartridge, which is sealed into the wall before tiling. It is a plumber's job, to be planned at the time of the works, with the hot and cold water supplies brought to the box.

Once the wall is closed, only the plate and its dial remain accessible, with the hand shower outlet and the shower head arm.

Matt black is maintained with soapy water and a microfibre cloth; avoid harsh limescale removers, which mark dark finishes. Ask your installer to check the depth available in the partition before ordering.
