Comparing our systems to the industry standard is like comparing a Rolls Royce to a Ford.
This valve is totally unique in the industry and demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainable production. The shower valve or as we refer to it, the ‘engine’, took over six years to develop and has been on a long-term test for nearly a decade. The results of the test have been independently reported by Greenwich University, and we’re proud to say that the results more than exceeded our expectations.
Dr Charles May, Materials Course Director, at Greenwich University, has recommended that as a result of this test, the guarantee period for the Kanth shower valve engine should be between 20 and 30 years.
From this scientific recommendation, we decided to give our customers a 25 year guarantee on each shower valve!
Producing a shower valve engine that will last a lifetime has only been possible due to the development and precision of the manufacturing process and material composition.
The production process starts with the material. Each of our engines is machined out of a solid brass ingot with a material composition specifically formulated by Kanth and our partners Smiths Metal Centres Limited. This firmly sets us apart from our competitors, as 99% of current shower valves are sand castings with no or little thought given to the material make up.
Using computer-controlled machines, each ingot is precisely milled, drilled, bored and polished internally to extremely tight tolerances to create the valve engine.
The resulting combination of our material composition and manufacturing process provides multiple benefits only found within a Kanth valve:
Once our shower valve engine has been installed, you will never need to take it out of the wall again. Its unique design allows both easy access for servicing the shower valve and to conveniently update if ever required.
If you decide in five or six years that your bathroom is looking tired and in need of updating, you simply replace the tiles and everything else that’s cosmetic. Our shower valve engine stays firmly in place concealed within the wall. The front plate and handles (the trim kit) can be purchased separately so should you decide for a change in style, colour or simply a refresh – you can do so relatively inexpensively. We design all our trim kits to be interchangeable for this precise reason.
In the past you may have needed to purchase a new shower every four or five years. With a Kanth shower valve, you will never need to purchase and install a shower valve again – so it’s goodbye to the throwaway society!
We provide a 25-year guarantee on each shower valve, compared to most manufacturers who offer no more than a five-year guarantee. Our engine is truly in a class of its own.
The shower is your sanctuary, a place to wash away the troubles of the day. But as you’re likely well aware, a shower is only as good as its valve. So why not invest in a valve that’s head and shoulders above the rest? That’s precisely what you’re doing when you choose Kanth. Our vertical thermostatic shower valves turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Don’t let the mechanics fool you; style matters. Kanth offers you both square and round vertical thermostatic shower valves, allowing you to customise your bathroom’s aesthetic without compromising on performance.
Whether you’re in the square camp or you find circles infinitely appealing, the “engine” within remains the same.
If you prefer a no-fuss, straightforward shower setup, our KV1 (S or R) model is a brilliant match for you. Designed to work seamlessly with any UK plumbing system, its ¾-inch BSP water inlets and outlets are an industry standard. The KV1 pairs superbly with any of our handsets or overhead showers, offering you an elite experience unlike others.
Why have one when you can have two? Our KV2 (S or R) model goes above and beyond, allowing for a double outlet setup. Imagine an overhead rain shower gently cascading water onto you while a handheld shower offers a more focused spray. It’s not a dream; it’s what the KV2 can provide, all without a drop in performance.
For those who want it all, the KV3 (S or R) is the crown jewel in our vertical thermostatic shower valve line-up. Its independently controlled outlets mean you can direct water flow however you wish, all without compromising on that powerful, consistent performance Kanth is known for.
As you can see, choosing a Kanth vertical thermostatic shower valve is not just a purchase; it’s an investment in years of hassle-free, blissful showers. The science backs us, and our customer testimonials can vouch for it. Why settle for anything less?
