Horne Thermostatic Mixing Valves & Thermostatic Showers: The Horne Brand

Since the company began trading we have always supplied direct to end users. The very first entry in the first record book of 1909 records the sale of a temperature control valve to a UK hospital. By working so closely with our customers and end users, we have a very keen understanding of exactly what our market requires.

Technology
There is a direct design line from the first early blending and control valve through to our current range. Over the years we have refined and developed the technology required to give the very high levels of performance and accuracy that HORNE is known for. Our customers take comfort and confidence from the knowledge that the technology that we have developed is mature and reliable.

Specification
Our products frequently incorporate many of the necessary components required to ensure their correct installation and operation over a maximised lifespan. Such features as integral ball valves, full bore fine mesh stainless steel strainers and check valves are found as standard components on many of our products. By adding many essential features to the product, the installed valve becomes a highly cost-effective proposition.

Quality
Our considerable wealth of experience is applied in all aspects of the design, procurement of parts and the manufacturing process. Every single one of our small bore point of use TMVs is given a full performance test prior to despatch.

Innovation
Over the years we have produced many “firsts” within our industry and developed many inventive product features that have been granted patented status.

Lifespan
We are also highly focused on supporting our customers long after the product has been supplied. It is our policy to keep spares parts in stock for a minimum of 10 years after that part has been discontinued in production. In addition we have also produced CD ROM presentations that guide users of our products through the key installation, commissioning and maintenance processes. This allows our customers to ensure the correct operation of our products over a maximized lifespan.
