Easy renovation and modernisation
Feel like your bathroom needs a revamp but don’t want to rip out walls or undertake extensive renovation work? Then simply choose one of the many no-fuss hansgrohe products for exposed installation. These mixers and shower systems will make your bathroom both high-tech and visually striking – while quickly transforming your shower and bath tub into blissful spas.
What exposed installation entails and when it is a suitable option
Most conventional showers feature an exposed thermostatic mixer and a hand shower. Bath tubs furthermore use a bath filler. But would you like to refine these designs or have you always dreamed of a large overhead shower? Then a shower system is the perfect solution: for greater convenience, a larger shower and even more enjoyment of water. With this state-of-the-art solution comprising an exposed thermostatic mixer, an overhead shower and a hand shower, everything matches seamlessly in terms of design and function.
Light renovation – simple installation on existing connections
These all-in-one systems are an attractive choice if you’re looking for an easy way to modernise your bathroom as the exposed products can simply be installed on existing connections. The connection dimensions are standardised, so all hansgrohe systems will fit in your bathroom. It’s even worth upgrading if you live in rented accommodation as shower systems and exposed installation non-thermostatic and thermostatic mixers can all be removed again as quickly as they were installed.
How does concealed installation work? Integrating your thermostatic mixers into the wall so that they are flat and seamless saves space and makes for an elegantly understated look. This minimalist design offers you more space to move around when showering or bathing. Installation is somewhat more complex because the technology sits in a base set behind the wall. If you’re okay with this additional work, check out our concealed installation solutions.
Bathroom modernisation made easy
Wall-mounted taps and thermostatic mixers are a classic and simple solution for renovations. They are fitted to existing connections.

Thermostatic mixers – safe central control units for showers and bath tubs
Exposed thermostatic mixers regulate the water temperature reliably and constantly. They feature a mixing chamber in which cold and hot water are combined before being released. This offers outstanding convenience for both showers and bath tubs, reliably protecting you against unpleasant fluctuations in temperature. hansgrohe thermostatic mixers meet stringent safety standards to reliably protect you against heat and scalding when touching them. For example, the SafetyStop scalding protection limits the temperature to 40°C. Thanks to CoolContact, many hansgrohe thermostatic mixers feature a thermally insulated body that doesn’t heat up. This offers impressive safety that you’re sure to appreciate, especially in family bathrooms. What’s more, thermostatic mixers also help you save water. The EcoStop function on hansgrohe thermostatic mixers helps to significantly reduce the amount of water used when showering. The water only turns up to full power when you actively press the button.

FAQ about exposed installation
What should I do if the water pipes are deeply embedded into the wall? Can I still wall-mount the tap without issue?
There’s a simple solution to this. Specialist bathroom retailers offer extensions of all lengths and will assist you with installation.
Is it a problem if the pipe in the wall runs at a slight angle?
Don’t worry. With hansgrohe models, the connections supplied can be used to compensate for any minor imperfections.
I use a continuous flow heater in my bathroom. Is there anything I need to consider when choosing my mixer tap?
hansgrohe taps for exposed installation work with many different hot water systems. In most cases, they can be connected to continuous flow heaters without issue as these are compatible with standard high-pressure taps. A plumber can support you in this regard.
How long is the guarantee on my hansgrohe tap for exposed installation?
hansgrohe offers a voluntary five-year manufacturer’s guarantee. But your peace of mind doesn’t end there: if anything subsequently becomes faulty or starts to leak, we offer a wide range of spare parts that your specialist partner can install using standard tools.
