Finalise the Concealed Console Before Tiling Begins

A concealed shower mixer is a considered choice, but it asks for one thing in return: timing. The concealed console is installed inside the wall, so the position, depth, and outlet alignment must be determined before waterproofing and tiling. When you delay the decision, the finish often suffers, the fix is rarely discreet, and the financial impact can be significant in luxury interiors.

The risk you do not see at first

Small alignment and sealing issues behind finished tiles can stay hidden at the start, then show up later as dampness or leakage behind the wall.

The cost of late changes

Once tiling is complete, even a small correction can become a high-cost intervention. It may mean opening a finished wall, reinstating waterproofing, and replacing tiles that were selected for tone, veining, and batch consistency. 

What does early planning give you?

Early planning gives you precision on the wall and certainty in the build. The control plate sits level and centred, aligned with your luxury tile grid and grout lines, so you avoid last-minute adjustments that can compromise the finish and lead to costly rework.

Our recommended approach

Choose the mixer and outlet layout first, set the concealed console during the first fix, and then proceed with pressure testing. Afterwards, proceed with waterproofing and tiling. If you need support with planning and installation guidance, consider exploring SWISH services. 

Six Distinct Water Experiences, One Calm Interface

Your needs change throughout the day. Sometimes you want quiet rainfall. Sometimes you want a brisk, direct stream. This 6-mode shower mixer gives you variety without clutter, using a control layout designed to keep switching simple. 

This is where choice stays quiet. Rain, spray, and waterfall moments, all delivered from one wall unit, without turning the shower wall into a display of controls.

Temperature That Stays Steady from Start to Finish

Sudden temperature changes can instantly break the mood. They disrupt the sense of control you expect in a personal ensuite, where the shower is part of your daily reset.

With the SWISH 6-way thermostatic shower mixer, the thermostatic system is designed to maintain your chosen temperature steady, and the Temperature lock keeps the setting fixed until you decide to change it. 

In use, you notice it in three clear ways:

• Thermostatic stability: Helps keep the temperature consistent through the shower. 
• Temperature lock: Keeps the temperature fixed until the lock is changed by the user. 
• Stable temperature support for family homes: A calmer, safer shower routine where comfort and control both matter.

Water Flow Shaped to Personal Preference

There are mornings when you want the water to arrive softly and quietly, and others when you prefer a more assertive flow that wakes you up straight away. With the SWISH SM 0600128-00 shower mixer, you are not tied to a single setting. You have the control to tune the shower to how you feel on that particular day.

Precise adjustment of water output

The controls allow you to fine-tune the flow so it matches your pace, whether you prefer an unhurried stream or a more vigorous shower.

Precise control knobs

The solid hardware and clearly defined knobs are shaped for confident handling, even when your hands are wet or soapy, so you do not need to look down to know what you are doing.

High water flow capacity at strong pressure

When your plumbing is designed to support it, the mixer is specified for a maximum flow of 25.22 litres per minute at 6 bar, giving you the headroom for generous overhead outlets and more expressive spray patterns. No matter which floor you stay on, you will never have issues with water pressure. The flow remains steady and reliable. You can expect a consistent water supply throughout.

Materials and Surface Care for Everyday Use

In the SWISH SM 0600128-00 shower mixer, the body is formed from 59A grade brass with a glass-faced control plate and a chrome glossy finish supported by three layers of electronic plating in copper, nickel and chromium. 

When you look closely at the control plate, you see a clean plane of glass and chrome rather than busy details, which keeps the shower wall composed even in stronger lighting.

To keep that look, your care routine does not need to be complicated. You simply use a soft cloth with mild soap, rinse, then wipe the surface dry so water marks and residue do not settle.
