Multi-Head Shower Systems
Combination of rain head, handheld shower, and body jets controlled via diverter valves. Create spa-like experience with multiple water outlets. Requires adequate water pressure and flow.

Wall-mounted or recessed thermostatic mixers maintain constant temperature regardless of pressure changes. Mandatory AS 3500 compliance for anti-scald protection. Reliable and safe.
Hand-Held Shower Combos
Fixed rose head paired with flexible hand shower on slide rail. Perfect for families, accessible bathing, and pet washing. Wall-mounted mixers control both outlets.
Linear Drain Showers
Sleek tile-insert or stainless steel linear drains create minimalist frameless shower look. Efficient drainage, easy cleaning, and floor-to-ceiling tile designs. Requires precise fall installation.
8-Stage Shower Installation Process
Professional workflow from design to handover
Design Consultation & Planning
Review bathroom layout, discuss shower type preferences, assess water pressure and flow, determine mixer heights, outlet positions, and drainage requirements. Coordinate with tilers and waterproofers.
Rough-In Plumbing
Install in-wall hot and cold water lines to correct heights (mixer typically 1050-1100mm, shower rose 1900-2100mm). Position drainage waste pipe with minimum 1:100 fall. Pressure test before concealment.
Waterproofing Coordination
Work with waterproofers to seal all plumbing penetrations per AS 3740. Install shower waste flange, seal membrane to waste, and protect all mixer mounting points before tiling.
Tiling & Wall Finishing
Coordinate with tilers for completion of wall and floor tiles. Protect rough-ins during tiling work. Confirm mixer valve positions remain accessible and correctly aligned.
Fit-Off & Fixture Installation
Install mixer trim, shower rose or rain head, handheld shower cradle, and diverter handles. Mount all fixtures level and flush to tiled surface. Connect hoses and test outlets.
TMV Testing & Calibration
Install and test thermostatic mixing valve (TMV) to deliver maximum 50°C water temperature per Australian Standards. Calibrate temperature stops and verify anti-scald functionality.
Drainage & Flow Testing
Test drainage at full flow to verify falls are correct and water clears efficiently. Check for pooling, slow drainage, or backflow issues. Adjust if necessary.
Final Sealing & Handover
Seal all mixer and fixture penetrations with premium silicone. Polish chrome, clean glass, and remove protective film. Test all functions, demonstrate operation, and issue compliance certificates.
Advanced Shower Technology
Safety, efficiency, and luxury innovations
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs)
Mandatory for all new shower installations per AS 3500. TMVs automatically adjust water flow to maintain preset temperature even if cold supply fails. Prevents scalding injuries and provides consistent shower comfort.
WELS Water Efficiency
All shower heads rated under Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards. 3-star (9L/min) to 4-star (7.5L/min) options balance water savings with luxurious feel. Aerator technology maintains pressure.
Linear & Tile-Insert Drains
Modern drainage solutions create seamless floor-to-wall tiling. Stainless steel linear drains (600-1200mm) or tile-insert grates blend invisibly into floors. High-flow capacity prevents pooling.
Digital Control Systems
Wireless digital shower controllers from Aqualisa, Methven, or Hansgrohe offer preset user profiles, remote activation, and precise temperature display. Battery or mains powered with LCD or touch interfaces.
Body Jets & Multi-Outlets
Wall-mounted body jets (typically 4-8 jets) create spa massage experience. Require high-flow systems (25-35L/min) and larger hot water capacity. Controlled via diverter valves or independent mixers.

Waterproofing & Safety Standards
All shower installations meet strict compliance requirements
AS 3740 Waterproofing Standard
All shower areas require compliant waterproofing membranes extending 150mm beyond shower zone. Membrane must be sealed to all plumbing penetrations including mixers, outlets, and drainage.
Plumbing Penetration Sealing
Every mixer, outlet, and fixture penetration through waterproof membrane must be sealed with compatible sealant or flashing collar. We coordinate with waterproofers to ensure integrity.
Drainage Falls & Testing
Shower floors require minimum 1:100 fall to waste. We test drainage flow before tiling begins to confirm water flows efficiently without pooling or slow clearing.
TMV Temperature Compliance
Thermostatic mixing valves must limit shower temperature to maximum 50°C per AS 3500. TMVs tested on installation and documented with compliance certificates.
