How to choose a bath and shower solution
Baths and showers starts with the decision: bath or shower. Then — the water “head” (mixer/system) and water “feet” (drain/trap). Without both the project does not “stick”.
Mixers: mixer guide. Drain: trap or linear channel, drainage.
Shower system and hoses
In a shower you often need a kit: thermostat/mixer + rail/head + hose. Examples: Hansgrohe Vernis Shape, Vernis Blend. Hoses: Remer 2000 mm, Grohe Relexa. Shower mixer example: Jika Talas Trendy for shower.
Bath
You need a bath mixer with diverter and a bath trap. Example: Jika Talas bath mixer. Support/acoustic kits (e.g. Kaldewei) — read the card for what they are for.
Typical mistakes
- Buying a shower system without a drain project.
- Mixing a basin mixer with bath/shower.

Short path
- Bath or shower.
