A 38°C safety stop button prevents water from getting too hot and accidentally causing burns. Hotter temperatures can be reached by pressing the override button on the temperature control.

The shower mixer has a “cold touch” feature. Thanks to the anti-scald technology, the surface of the mixer bar never heats up and is always safe to touch.

The built-in shelf on the shower mixer is perfect for all those tall shampoo bottles that are often tricky to store in the shower.

Chrome-plated brass is a hard and durable surface that is easy to clean.

Reviews

Shower ValveAnonymous reviewerBought as replacement for one that had seized up (different supplier) This one is is very smooth operation, and easily fitted the existing stub pipes, although new ones had been supplied.5
Fantastic product and value for moneyAnonymous reviewerCompared to the equivalent models on the market this is value for money and works well with our poor inconsistent water pressure. I really like the look and the temperature button doesn’t feel cheap like its competitors 5
Negative Anonymous reviewerI was unable to get this device to work properly. It either supplies the hottest water possible, or immediately cold. I read the instructions for setting up this device, but it didn't help me.The device is not working properly. It supplies either the hottest water possible or immediately cold water.The water does not mix smoothly to lower the water temperature 2
Works fineAnonymous reviewerTook about 10 minutes to install it and it worked fine.5
Good purchaseAnonymous reviewerVery nice shower mixer . The only one I could find that is easy to turn off with soapy hands so that's a big plus. My only negative comment is that it isn't chrome plated but darker so it doesn't go so well with the rest of the shower fittings5
Shower mixerAnonymous reviewerVery pleased with my purchase. Bought this to replace a mixer that had become difficult to use as the controls had become very stiff and difficult to operate with wet hands! The design of the controls on this mixer makes it very easy to turn on, off and adjust the temperature with wet hands. It also appears to have a better flow rate than our previous mixer. It’s too early to know if it will continue to operate as well as it does today but first impression are very good.5
Perfect replacement shower mixer barAnonymous reviewerWe needed a replacement mixer for a failing unit and this was perfect for the job - good value for money and very easy to fit to existing pipework.4
Excellent mixerAnonymous reviewerReally good mixer, we looked around before deciding on this one, it’s much better than our old one, and good value for money.5

Material

What are zinc and zamak?

Zinc is a metallic element while zamak is a mixture of zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper. Both are durable materials and easy to cast into different shapes. They are good at conducting heat and electricity. Objects made of zinc or zamak are often given a surface treatment to resemble metals like gold, brass or stainless steel. Both zinc and zamak retain their good properties when they are recycled to become new objects.

Function solution

Designed with safety in mind

IKEA thermostatic shower mixers have a 38°C safety button that must be deliberately pressed to reach higher temperatures, but will never exceed 46°C – which is safe for human skin. Another smart feature is the “cold touch", anti-scald technology which ensures that the shower mixers will never heat up or cause burns. Whether the preference is modern or more traditional style, IKEA shower mixers offer a great shower experience with highest safety in mind.
