Mira Element Mixer Showers

Exposed mixers have the valve and controls mounted on the face of the wall, offering a more traditional look and easier access for adjustments or servicing. Concealed mixers hide the valve behind the wall so you get a very clean, minimalist appearance that suits modern bathrooms and ensuites. If you value a sleek, uninterrupted tile run you'll likely prefer a concealed unit; if you want straightforward access or are updating an existing bathroom, an exposed mixer is often more practical.

The thermostatic valve blends hot and cold water to hold the temperature you set, so it stays steady even if someone else uses a tap or a toilet flushes. That means fewer sudden hot or cold spikes, which is especially helpful if you shower with children or older relatives. The controls are simple, so you can pre-select a comfortable temperature and enjoy a consistent flow.

Mira Element mixer showers require both hot and cold water feeds, so they're suited to homes with a hot supply from a boiler or cylinder plus cold mains. If your property only has a cold feed you would need an electric shower instead. For low-pressure situations you may prefer a power shower with a boost pump; the Element range is designed for standard mixed supply systems.

The rainfall head model gives a broad, gentler sheet of water from above, creating a spa-like, immersive experience that suits walk-in showers and modern ensuites. It's included in our range at around the current product price, a modest premium over the standard concealed and exposed mixers, and is a good choice if you want a luxury feel and visual impact. For everyday practicality in a family bathroom you might prefer the standard head or an exposed mixer with a handheld option.

The Mira Element range is finished in chrome and described as carefully crafted to last for years, so you can expect a robust, corrosion-resistant surface. Chrome is simple to maintain, a quick wipe with a soft cloth after use prevents water spots and limescale build-up. Exposed valves are quicker to access if any servicing is needed, while concealed fittings hide pipework for a neater look but keep long-term maintenance considerations in mind.
