Concealed thermostatic valve
Only the controls on show.
The valve sits inside the wall, so all you see is a neat plate with the controls. It's the cleanest-looking way to run a shower.

What it is
The valve body is plumbed in before the wall is finished. A plate and handles finish it, and a diverter can switch between an overhead head, a handset or a bath filler.
Good for
A clean look
No exposed pipes or bars.
Several outlets
Run a rainfall head and a handset from one valve.
What to weigh up
Early decision
It's built into the wall, so it's chosen before tiling.
Access
Servicing is through the front plate, so choose a well-made valve.
