Simplifying Shower Selection on NBS

Did you know that over 130 Horne shower panel models are listed on NBS Source, the primary product database for specifier users of NBS Chorus, Revit, ArchiCAD, and other specification platforms? To make the selection process easier, these 130 models have been distilled down into 25 product 'family' listings. Each listing, based on internal shower valve and head combinations, with or without an integral In-line Thermal Disinfection Unit (ILTDU), offers a variety of options for control features, riser rail colour, and pipe cover lengths. While this approach simplifies the selection of a specific shower model, we recognise that making the choice may still be complicated. To assist further, we have therefore developed helpful 'shower selector' infographics to guide NBS Source specifiers in finding the perfect shower solution for projects.

Our goal is to make shower selection easier and more efficient for specifiers. These infographics are tailored to three specific sectors/applications and prioritise our best-selling shower models - ensuring you can quickly find the appropriate NBS Source listing. Each infographic includes hyperlinks to the corresponding product family listing, making the selection process very straightforward.

Our Shower Panel Range

Our dual-mode range of accessible showers product family, features an integral ILTDU for pathogen control.  All other shower panels featuring an integral Type 3 (healthcare) approved thermostatic valve (TSV1-3, TSV-TFC, or Horne 15) are available with or without an integral In-Line Thermal Disinfection Unit (ILTDU) and pipe cover. NBS Source listings state 'excluding' or 'including ILTDU' in the listing description. This flexibility allows you to tailor your selection to the specific needs of your project.
