Crosswater

Crosswater is one of the most innovative and successful UK bathroom companies in recent history. Since establishment in 1998, it has rather speedily established itself as one of the most interesting and forward-thinking premium bathroom brands in the marketplace.

Crosswater's extensive collections of taps and showers have been designed by a pool of leading European designers. The design team is curated by David Hance, who himself has also designed several of the stylish collections. A number of technological breakthroughs have been incorporated into the Crosswater range in recent years, including Cool Touch shower valves and air-infused shower heads.

This is the height and width of your shower tray. For shower trays with an irregular shape, such as quadrant shower trays, the size of the two straight sides is given.

This indicates how many water outlets you can pair with your shower valves. Choosing valves with more outlets will give you flexibility over the number of products you can add to your shower. 

Each outlet from your shower valve will divert water to the section of your shower that needs it, so each extra outlet allows you to add another product. For example: with 1 outlet you could have just a fixed shower head. 2 outlets will allow you to have a fixed shower head and shower handset. 3 will allow both of these with the addition of a body jet.

Soil Pipe Direction:
This details which direction the soil pipe can run from the rear of the toilet.

Horizontal: the soil pipe can run directly into the wall behind the pan.

Vertical: the soil pipe can turn 90 degrees and run vertically into the floor.

Left or Right: the soil pipe can run either side from the rear of the pan, which is then typically boxed in.

This is for guidance only and not intended as a substitute for visual/physical checks; the size and type of your pan connector/pipework will have an impact on whether or not there is sufficient clearance.

This figure shows you how thick the glass in your mirror, shower enclosure or doors will be. Thicker glass will often be more robust, which helps it last longer.

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.

Maximum Adjustment

Sometimes one or two walls in the space you are planning on installing a shower door or enclosure may be ‘out of true’ or not perfectly straight. The maximum adjustment measurement indicates the highest ‘give’ a shower door or enclosure has to achieve a perfect fit.

Minimum Adjustment

Sometimes one or two walls in the space you are planning on installing a shower door or enclosure may be ‘out of true’ or not perfectly straight. The minimum adjustment measurement indicates the lowest ‘give’ a shower door or enclosure has to achieve a perfect fit.

This is the source of fuel your radiator or towel rail will use to provide heat. Radiators will generate heat through central heating systems, electricity, or a combination of both with dual fuel.

Central Heating:
These radiators will generate heat through the water pumped round your central heating system.

Electric:
Electric radiators contain fluid heated by an electrical element. They plug into a socket or are wired directly into the mains.

Dual Fuel:
Dual fuel radiators are able to run on both central heating and electric power. They contain a ‘summer’ heating element which will allow you to use your radiator in warmer months without needing to turn on your entire central heating system.

BTU (British Thermal Units) is a measure of the heat output of radiators. ∆t 50ºC is the standard output of boilers in the UK & Europe, so this figure is an indication of the heat output (BTU) your radiator will give you at this standard temperature. To find out the BTU you need for rooms in your home, take a look at our BTU Calculator.

BTU (British Thermal Units) is a measure of the heat output of radiators. ∆t 60ºC was previously the standard output of boilers in the UK (the UK has now aligned with the rest of Europe to use ∆t 50ºC). BTU ∆t 60ºC is an indication the output in BTU your radiators will give you at this standard temperature. To find out the BTU you need for rooms in your home, take a look at our BTU Calculator.

Watts is a measure of heat output used for electric radiators, with a higher watt figure meaning a higher heat output. Purchasing a radiator that has the correct wattage will ensure your room will be at a comfortable temperature without wasting energy.

By using our BTU Calculator,you can calculate the number of watts your radiator needs to adequately heat your room.

Tap spouts are available in a variety of different styles which have an effect on both the look and function of your tap. Different spout types will have different heights and projections, so it’s important to choose one which will complement your basin or bath.
