Aqualisa Visage Q Smart Showers

Look at how your hot water is supplied: if you have a combi boiler that delivers mains pressure, choose an HP/Combi model; if you have a cold water tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder, choose a Gravity Fed model. Aqualisa supply processors for both systems, so you'll get consistent digital control whichever you have. A house with a combi boiler would typically use one of the four HP/Combi Visage Q options listed, while a home with a cylinder would use one of the three gravity pumped variants.

Ceiling fed showers use pipework through the ceiling and are ideal if you want an overhead or dual-head arrangement, while wall fed showers use pipework through the wall behind the shower. Wall fed is easier to retrofit because you avoid chasing into ceilings and it's simpler to link to existing wall plumbing. If you're updating a bathroom without major plumbing work, a wall-fed Visage Q is usually the least disruptive choice.

Exposed units sit on the wall and are quicker to access and swap, so they are handy when minimal re-plumbing is needed; concealed units hide the valve and give a sleeker, contemporary finish, especially with a rainfall head. If you want a minimalist ceiling-style rain shower, the concealed rainfall Visage Q is an appealing option; if you are refurbishing and want easier maintenance access, an exposed model will suit you better.

Visage Q can be specified with 1, 2 or 3 outlets: single head, dual head (a fixed ceiling head plus a handset), or three functions such as head, handset and bath filler or body jets. Dual and triple outlet systems are designed so the functions can be operated separately or, on many models, in combination. Bear in mind that running multiple outlets together will be influenced by your water supply type and the chosen processor, so an HP/Combi model will generally deliver stronger simultaneous flow than a gravity-fed setup.

The Visage Q range includes digital smart controllers specifically made for the system, giving precise temperature and outlet control alongside Aqualisa's smart features. Controllers can be paired with exposed or concealed valve configurations, so you can locate the control panel where it is most convenient on your bathroom wall. You can have a discreet controller outside the shower for family-friendly temperature presets while the hidden valve delivers a clean, uninterrupted shower aesthetic.
