Description
If you're designing a luxury bathroom, you know every detail matters. The IMEX Matte Black Thermostatic 2-Way Built-In Faucet delivers both style and substance. This concealed faucet combines sleek European craftsmanship with intelligent engineering, giving you a bathroom that looks refined while performing flawlessly.
The thermostatic technology keeps water temperature consistent, eliminating those sudden temperature swings that catch you off guard. The 2-way diverter lets you switch smoothly between your shower head and hand shower without fumbling with controls. It's the kind of faucet that works so well you stop thinking about it and just enjoy your shower.
Why This Works For You
Hidden installation means no visible pipes or clunky fixtures cluttering your wall. Everything sits behind the wall, leaving just a clean, minimalist face showing. This approach transforms your bathroom into a sophisticated space rather than a functional room with visible plumbing.
The matte black finish resists fingerprints and water spots far better than chrome or brushed nickel. You'll spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your bathroom. The finish also pairs beautifully with modern tiles, natural stone, and contemporary vanities, whether you're going for industrial, Scandinavian, or spa-like aesthetics.
How to Use It
Installation happens during your bathroom renovation when walls are open. A professional plumber will position the thermostatic valve and diverter body inside the wall, running supply lines and trim rings to the finished surface. Once installed, operation is intuitive: adjust temperature with one control and use the other to switch between outlets.
The thermostatic cartridge maintains your preferred temperature even when water pressure fluctuates elsewhere in your home. This is especially valuable if you have multiple bathrooms or appliances running simultaneously. You set it once and it stays consistent every time you shower.

Care and Maintenance
The matte black finish requires minimal upkeep. Wipe it down regularly with a soft, damp cloth to prevent water spots and dust buildup. For stubborn spots, use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner designed for matte finishes. Avoid harsh scouring pads or acidic cleaners that can damage the finish.
The thermostatic cartridge is sealed inside the wall, so there's nothing to maintain on your end. If you ever need service, a plumber can access it through the trim ring without major renovation. The ceramic cartridge is built to last decades with normal use.
