Duravit Showers

This page holds everything Duravit makes for the shower itself. It runs from the acrylic tray on the floor through showerheads, wall and ceiling arms, handshowers and hoses to the thermostatic columns and the concealed and exposed mixers that drive them. Tap series here are C.1, B.2, Wave, Tulum, Tulum by Starck and D-Code, so a shower can be specified in the same design language as the basin mixer on our Duravit taps page.

Shower Trays

The trays here are D-Code, made in acrylic, in 1000 x 1000 mm, 1200 x 800 mm, 1200 x 900 mm and 1800 x 900 mm. The square sizes suit a corner enclosure and the longer rectangles suit a walk-in along one wall or a bath replacement, since 1800 x 900 mm drops neatly into the footprint a standard bath leaves behind. The waste outlet is a separate item. Duravit lists a D-Code outlet drain in chrome for these trays, so budget for it rather than assuming it is in the box.

Showerheads, Arms, Handshowers and Hoses

Overhead showerheads run from a compact 100 mm through 200, 230, 240 and 250 mm up to a 300 x 300 mm head that Duravit lists for ceiling or wall mounting, in chrome and matt black. The arm decides where the head sits: 210 mm and 410 mm arms come off the wall, while a 300 mm ceiling arm and a ceiling connector drop the head straight down over the standing position. Handshowers are 110 mm round in chrome and matt black, with 1250 mm hoses in both finishes to match.

Columns and Shower Mixers

A shower system is the quickest route to a finished shower because the column, the overhead, the handshower and the mixer arrive as one matched set. The C.1 thermostatic system and the system with the 1050 mm shelf sit in this group. A thermostatic mixer holds your set temperature even when another outlet in the house is opened, which is the practical argument for one. If you want nothing on the wall but the outlets, the concealed single lever mixers from C.1, B.2, Wave, Tulum and D-Code bury the valve behind the tiles.

Match the shower to the rest of the room through the D-Code and Starck pages, or see the full Duravit range. If the bath is staying, Duravit baths lists the tubs and the bath diverter mixers that share a wall with the shower.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes do Duravit shower trays come in?

The D-Code acrylic trays stocked here are 1000 x 1000 mm, 1200 x 800 mm, 1200 x 900 mm and 1800 x 900 mm. The square tray suits a corner enclosure and the rectangles suit a walk-in along one wall. The 1800 x 900 mm tray is the one to look at if you are taking out a standard bath, because it drops into roughly the same footprint without moving the waste far.

Does a Duravit shower tray come with the waste outlet?

Not automatically. The outlet drain is listed as a separate product, and Duravit makes a D-Code outlet drain in chrome specifically for these trays. Check the tray product page before you order and add the drain to the same order if it is not included, because the tray cannot be set into the floor and tiled around until the waste is on site and connected.

Which Duravit shower arm do I need?

It depends on where the head goes. The 210 mm and 410 mm arms come out of the wall, with the longer one used when you want the head clear of the wall and over the middle of the tray. The 300 mm ceiling arm and the ceiling connector drop the head vertically from the slab, which gives a rain effect directly overhead but has to be planned before the ceiling is closed up.

What is the difference between a concealed and an exposed Duravit shower mixer?

A concealed mixer has its valve body built into the wall, so only the handle plate and the outlets are visible. It looks cleaner but has to be set out during first fix and the wall opened if it is ever serviced. An exposed mixer, like the square matt black C.1, mounts on the tiled surface and is far simpler to retrofit into an existing shower.

What comes with a Duravit shower system?

A shower system is supplied as a matched set on a column: the overhead shower, the handshower, the riser and the mixer. The C.1 system and the system with the 1050 mm shelf both come with a thermostatic mixer, which holds your set temperature when another tap in the house is opened. It is the fastest way to a complete shower because nothing has to be selected separately.
