About Shower Mixers products

ArchiPro’s hand-picked selection of high quality bathroom tapware has been chosen from suppliers all over Australia, providing you with a range of known quality products. Among the collection, you’ll find a variety of styles of shower mixer taps, from vintage brushed brass taps to contemporary digitally controlled thermostatic mixers. Conveniently you can often find matching bath mixers and taps as well for a cohesive look to your bathroom.

Shower mixers control the volume of hot and cold water that comes out of your shower head, providing you with the perfect temperature of water. There are a number of different styles of mixers, some with one handle, and others with multiple handles with different materials, finishes and designs to consider too. ArchiPro showcases only high quality products from trusted suppliers across Australia.

Manual single tap mixer

A single tap mixer has one handle which you can use to adjust the proportion of hot and cold water entering the shower head.

Manual double tap mixer

Double tap mixers have two taps, allowing you to independently control the flow of both hot and cold water.

Thermostatic mixer

Thermostatic mixers keep the pressure and temperature of the water steady, even when other appliances are using the water supply.

Combination mixer

Combination mixers have one tap controlling the flow and temperature of water to both a handheld shower head and a bath spout. The water flow can be switched between the bath and the shower head.

The advantages of high quality shower mixers

Shower mixers have to deal with high pressure water, corrosive substances such as chlorine, or a buildup of material like limescale.  By choosing high quality products, the materials used to make your shower mixer will be of the right composition and strength to do the job properly over a long period of time. High quality mixers are also stylistically superior, an important element to remember when purchasing a new mixer. Where a darker finish suits the scheme, a black shower mixer can provide contrast against pale wall finishes.

How to choose a shower mixer that’s right for you

Shower mixers are designed to work with a variety of water pressures, but if you have particularly high or low water pressure, you may need to invest in a specialised mixer.   A shower mixer in wall installation places the valve body behind the finished wall, so cavity depth and service access need to be confirmed before the wall lining is fixed.

Low pressure shower mixers are designed to ensure that your hot and cold water pressures are balanced, and when combined with the appropriate shower head, may restrict the flow of water in order to increase the water pressure.

High pressure shower mixers are essential if you have a high pressure water supply. A high pressure shower mixer can withstand the increased pressure without leaking or breaking.

Are shower mixers a standard size?

While there are common sizes, there is no standard size for shower mixers. Always check carefully when buying a replacement mixer in order to ensure a proper fit. If you are unsure of what you are doing, it’s best to contact a professional.

Are shower mixers and bath mixers the same?

Shower mixers and bath mixers can be used interchangeably. There are some small differences, but not enough to cause issues. Basin mixers and taps can have a lower water output, and are often not interchangeable.

What is the standard height for a shower mixer?

Shower mixers are usually installed at a height of 1,050mm. If you are shorter or taller than most people, or shower while seated, you may wish to install the mixer at a more convenient height for you.
