Planning tips
Showers are good green products - saving water and energy
Go green in the bathroom. With the environment high on everyone's agenda, showering offers a greener way to keep clean, using a fraction of the water that a bath does. This saves on your water and energy bills, as less water and heating is required. To save even more, try the Mira Eco showerhead which uses up to 75% less water and is available in white or chrome to match any bathroom.
Get an instant makeover - replace your shower fittings and you can transform the bathroom
Give your bathroom a fresh lease of life with fresh fittings. An instant makeover need not be a huge task, nor should it break the bank. Updating your fixtures and fittings is a simple and cost effective way to transform your bathroom or shower area. Mira Showers offers a range of complete fittings kits, which include showerhead, hose, slide bar and bracket for a total update. A range of styles are available to complement any look, from classic, hard wearing and self-cleaning models through to discreet, modern and ergonomic designs. Anybody can upgrade their shower in seconds.
Storage solutions in the bathroom - research says we are accumulating bottles etc. with nowhere to store them
Eliminate clutter with clever storage. Research shows that we are a nation of clutter lovers - the majority of people in the UK choose to keep their shower products around the bath or shower cubicle. As the number of products grows, we are left with nowhere to store them, or have to resort to using unattractive in-shower storage. Solve the problem simply with a stylish shower and storage solution in one - Mira Bijou, Mira Ordo and Mira Tabla all offer a high performance mixer shower with an integrated shelf for product storage. With different finishes and sizes, every shower space can stay clutter free.
Inclusive design - we are all getting older however "inclusive design" need not look institutional
Make showering easy, whatever your age. Getting older is inevitable, so Mira Showers offers a range of products that make an ideal follow on from a family shower. All of the range is designed to look modern and aesthetically pleasing, because inclusive design need not look institutional in the home. Mira Advance ATL is an electric shower with large clear graphics and safety features, so that a maximum temperature can be set. Also available is a Memory model which allows temperature and flow settings to be pre-set. Both come with easy to use fittings. Alternatively, Mira Advance Flex is not only safe, but has easy to navigate controls, with raised areas and colour contrasting LCD buttons that bleep. Select Flex offers similar benefits with a thermostatic mixer shower that offers maximum temperature pre-sets, easy to grasp handles and a longer hose and slide bar.
Wet rooms look great but are difficult to achieve - fit a low profile tray and semi frameless enclosure instead
Get a wet room without the hassle. A wet room is a fantastic design statement in the bathroom, but often a building and plumbing challenge. Get the same wet room look without any of the bother by installing a Mira Flight Low shower tray and a semi frameless shower enclosure. Flight Low trays have a lower side profile giving them a sleeker appearance, and are lighter and easier to install, while a semi frameless enclosure provides the most discreet wall of glass possible.
You can fit a shower in even the smallest of spaces
Make the most of your space - install a shower. Figures show that bathrooms are getting progressively smaller, with more people are opting for a compact en-suite rather than sharing a family bathroom. These new smaller shower and bathrooms can be a design challenge but this can easily be overcome by installing a mini mixer shower. With the same performance as a standard sized valve but 50% smaller, Mira mini mixers come in four styles to complement any bathroom décor and are thermostatic so safe for family showering.
Enclosures - with a bit of planning you may be able to design your new bathroom to accommodate an enclosure
Install a safe and stylish shower enclosure. If you're installing a standalone shower in your bathroom or creating a shower room, it's a good idea to include a shower enclosure in your plans. Mira's shower enclosures come with a range of door types - walk-in, pivot, bi-fold, sliding and double sliding - to fit any space, including corners and areas with more limited room. All are made with toughened safety glass, and complement Mira Flight and Flight Low shower trays in four shapes - square, rectangle, quadrant and pentangle. Enclosures are also semi-frameless for a minimal and attractive aesthetic.
Family friendly showers
Choose an innovative model for a perfect family shower. A family shower now needn't compromise style and innovation for reliability. New advances in shower design have enabled Mira to provide a range of unique and flexible family friendly models. Mira Divisa is a sleek attractive electric shower, the first to offer a fixed overhead, with a magnetic diverter handset so you can wash the kids (or the dog!) with ease. Mira Miniluxe with Diverter is thermostatic and also has the option of an overhead or a diverter handset, perfect for kids who don't want water in their face.
Cleaning - in hard water areas you can use a kettle descaler or vinegar and water or why not try an Everclear handset
Save time with a self-cleaning shower. In hard water areas in particular, your showerhead is likely to be affected by lime scale, which can seriously compromise its performance. Rather than spending time and money de-scaling your showerhead using a kettle descaler solution or vinegar mixture, invest in a Mira Everclear showerhead. Designed especially for hard water areas, this showerhead has pins that push through the holes in the plate to provide automatic cleaning after use, maintaining performance and saving you time and trouble.
