Shower Valves — the Part Nobody Sees and Everybody Blames

Exposed valves are a feature in retrofit markets

Concealed boxing is a new-build luxury; most of the world's bathrooms are retrofits where the valve stays visible. In those markets an exposed valve sells on serviceability — the cartridge behind our escutcheon is the same Sedal platform stocked as a spare worldwide, so a hotel maintenance team swaps a cartridge in minutes rather than waiting on a specialist.

Multi-outlet showers expose weak valves fastest: rain head, hand shower and bath spout together demand waterways sized for combined flow, not a single-outlet body with an extra dial on it. Ours are dimensioned at the CNC stage and validated on the test bench at full working pressure — the difference is invisible in a catalogue and unmistakable in a five-star punch list.
