That's a meaningful step up in price on this range, but adding a second outlet later means opening the wall — so it's worth deciding properly now rather than economising.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThis has to be planned before you tile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA concealed valve buries the mechanism in the wall, leaving only the control plate on show. \u003cstrong\u003eThe valve body must be set at the right depth and height before the wall is boarded and tiled.\u003c\/strong\u003e Too deep and the plate won't sit flush; too shallow and it stands proud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stud wall needs noggins to fix to; a solid wall needs chasing out. Kartell supply fitting instructions as well as a data sheet — both are linked below, and on a valve at this price it's worth reading them before the plasterer arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThermostatic, and why that matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thermostatic valve holds the temperature you set even if water is drawn elsewhere in the house — so the shower doesn't run cold when a tap is turned on. It also shuts down if the cold supply fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for all plumbing systems, with a \u003cstrong\u003eminimum pressure of 0.2 bar\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy brushed brass\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarm and premium, and more forgiving than chrome day to day — the brushed surface hides water spotting and limescale better than a mirror finish, which counts for a lot in a shower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOttone only really works as a scheme. Kartell make matching brass wetroom screens, bath screens, wastes, towel rails and brassware, so the metalwork can carry right through the room.
