About shower systems
The valve behind the wall determines the shower experience far more than the head in front of it. Thermostatic valves hold temperature when another fixture draws water; pressure-balanced valves protect against scald swings.
In older NYC buildings, available flow rate and pressure should be tested before specifying a multi-outlet system.
Specifier's tips
- Rough-in valve bodies must be finalized before walls close
- A hand shower on a slide bar makes cleaning and bathing children far easier
- Multiple outlets need a valve rated for the combined flow
Frequently asked
Thermostatic or pressure-balanced?
Thermostatic if the budget allows, especially in a building with variable pressure.
Can I mix finishes?
Yes, but keep the valve trim and head in the same finish family so the shower reads intentional.
