Are you building a new bathroom or intending to renovate? This page outlines the many options water controls installed in the wall have to offer. Concealed installation in the shower and bath tub is ultra-modern and user-friendly. The minimalist units make everything look nice and tidy, while you get to enjoy full freedom of movement when showering and bathing.
Are you currently using an exposed installation faucet or thermostat in the shower and bath tub? There are many advantages to these traditional water controls: For instance, they’re easy to replace, so they’re perfect for a quick renovation. But there is a downside: They’re pretty big and project into the room. In small bathrooms, this means taking up valuable space.
Wouldn’t it be nice to simply hide the parts of your faucets that you don’t want “on the outside” (pipes, big dials or levers) behind the plaster? If you want to do this, you have to open up the wall. That’s why concealed installations make so much sense in new builds and major renovations. Important: You must get a bathroom specialist to do the job.
The range of hansgrohe concealed installation models offers you untold possibilities in bathroom design. You’ll be amazed to discover how many functions and designs there are. Decide on faucets or thermostats based on the purpose, your preferences and your bathroom fittings (hand shower, overhead shower, shower system, etc.). The thermostat or faucet can be universally combined with all hansgrohe showers. Pick a shower control in a round, square or SoftCube design. Or create unique accents in your bathroom with FinishPlus colors and surface finishes.
If you opt for a concealed installation solution, your bathroom specialist will start by installing the proven hansgrohe iBox universal 2 base set inside your wall. They will then fit your concealed faucet or thermostat. Both feature typical, top-notch hansgrohe technology and are fitted with durable mechanical valves, without any use of electricity.
The intuitive Select operating and design concept is particularly user-friendly and elegant when used in concealed installations. Control up to four water sources at the touch of a button with the award-winning ShowerSelect thermostats and faucets. And switch shower spray modes with a simple click. The new ShowerSelect Comfort range features flush-mounted buttons, and its minimalist design is 40 percent flatter than other hansgrohe pre-fab sets.
You will find a wide array of hansgrohe thermostats and shower faucets for space-saving and elegant concealed installation.
The iBox universal 2 is the base set for almost all hansgrohe pre-fab sets. The base set is installed in the wall in new builds or renovations and guarantees a safe and stable water flow. Your chosen thermostat or preferred shower faucet is the final element to be added to the iBox universal 2. You can read a brief summary of all the key information on how the iBox universal 2 works here. Please note: The iBox universal 2 must be installed by a competent specialist partner.

So you can control an overhead shower with up to three spray modes, the matching hand shower and a shoulder shower, if you have one. To control the shower with RainSelect, you will need the RainSelect basic set.
