Overflow bath fillers are a great option when choosing a new bathroom, especially if you\u2019re looking for a clean, uncluttered look.<\/p>\n

What is an overflow filler?<\/h2>\n

An overflow filler (also sometimes known as an exofill or exafill within the trade) combines the functions of filling the bath and of having an overflow. Rather than a tap or set of taps, the water emerges from a hole in the underside of the overflow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They can be easily combined with a second outlet such as a shower kit on the wall or a pull-out handset on the bath deck, or even both. You can then use one valve to divert between the bath filling function and the showering function.<\/p>\n

How is the flow controlled?<\/h2>\n

The on\/off flow to the overflow filler is controlled by either a pair of deck valves mounted on the bath or by a manual or thermostatic valve that is set into the wall.<\/p>\n

Why choose an overflow filler?<\/h2>\n

Other than the clean, stylish look that can be achieved, there are a number of other advantages to choosing an overflow filler setup for your bathroom.<\/p>\n

This type of setup provides you with much greater flexibility in the placements of the controls \u2013 for example, a normal shower over the bath would typically have the control valve just underneath the\u00a0shower head, but using a concealed valve. This could be located at the opposite end of the bath to make it easy and comfortable to turn the shower on before you step inside.<\/p>\n

If you also choose to opt for a thermostatic 2-outlet valve, you would also have the advantage of a thermostatically controlled shower \u2013 so if a tap elsewhere in the house is turned on, or a toilet flushed, you won\u2019t find that your shower is suddenly freezing or scalding.<\/p>\n

What about the water pressure?<\/h2>\n

Overflow bath fillers were originally only suitable for high pressure systems, but there are now a wide range of options that will also work at low pressure (0.2 bar).<\/p>\n

The Bathroom Look has a selection of overflow bath fillers available to purchase on the website. Our most popular options include a traditional round overflow filler with a pop up waste<\/a> and a stylish square overflow filler with a clicker waste.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
