The Ultimate Guide To Mixer Showers

Learn more about Mira mixer showers, how they work, and their benefits compared to other types of showers. When you’re ready, explore our range, including the Mira Opero Dual Mixer Shower, the Mira Beacon Dual Mixer Shower and the Mira Evovo collection.

Mixer showers work by combining hot and cold water to reach the desired temperature. They can produce a stronger flow than electric showers and are compatible with gravity-fed and mains pressure systems, available in single, dual and triple outlets, and exposed valve (EV) and built-in valve (BIV) options.

Different styles of mixer showers suit different bathroom configurations. They fall into two categories: exposed mixer showers and built-in mixer showers.

• Exposed mixer showers have the shower control mounted on the wall or on a single riser bar.
• Built-in mixer showers have their controls, and sometimes their showerheads, built into the wall.

If you’re considering a mixer shower, learn about some of the features of our range to understand the full benefits before you buy.

Struggling with a low-pressure system? Create an intense, fast-flowing shower by combining one of our mixer showers with a shower pump. Our twin-ended pumps boost your flow rate by up to 32 litres per minute, helping you enjoy a consistent showering experience.

Choosing a Mira mixer shower doesn’t mean you’re limited to just one type of shower. We have a range of designs with different styles and configurations to suit your bathroom.

Thermostatic showers are a type of mixer shower with a thermostatic valve that maintains a constant water temperature. The valve automatically adjusts to prevent hot or cold bursts if someone turns on a tap or flushes a toilet while you’re in the shower. This technology is used in some electric, mixer, digital and power showers.

Mixer showers don’t need electricity – they rely on your boiler for hot water. This can reduce your bills if you have higher electricity costs than gas.

You can run mixer showers off combi boilers if you don’t have a shower pump, as they provide a high-pressure hot water supply.

Our mixer showers now come with our patented Mira Magni-flo™ technology, so you can say goodbye to feeble flows and enjoy a drenching shower with water pressure as low as 0.1 bar.

Our system works by optimising internal valve waterways, which means our showers deliver up to 3x more flow than others on the market.

With multi-generational homes on the rise, bathrooms need to cater for a variety of ages and mobility concerns. All Mira mixer showers feature our innovative CoolShield™ technology. The valve doesn’t get hot during a shower, meaning fewer accidents.
