Horne’s Duŝo shower column offers a streamlined, resource-efficient approach to communal shower provision in sports and leisure facilities, education environments and other high-use wet facilities.
Designed as a compact, pre-plumbed shower column, the Duŝo neatly combines the shower control and hydraulic actuation within a single vertical unit. Pre-assembled and tested under controlled factory conditions, its final installation can be planned, costed and delivered more predictably on site. This approach reduces installation time and cost through minimising pipework, fittings/connections and wall penetrations typically associated with conventional multi-shower installations.
The Duŝo’s compact footprint is enabled by its hydraulically simple design that supports an efficient water system layout. By shortening the mixed-water dead-leg and incorporating timed shut-off (60 or 30 second cartridge) with integrated flow regulation (8 L/min), the Duŝo helps reduce both water consumption and the energy required to heat it.
System efficiency can be further enhanced by supplying pre-mixed warm water to a group of Duŝo columns from a single thermostatic mixing valve (TMV). Up to three Duŝo can be supplied from a single Horne 15 TMV, while the higher-capacity Horne 20 can feed up to six outlets simultaneously. Reducing the number of mixing valves simplifies pipework layouts, lowers capital costs and reduces ongoing maintenance requirements.
To support ‘group’ system design, Horne provides a useful valve sizing calculator, helping architectural technologists and building services engineers determine the optimal capacity thermostatic valve for a given number of shower heads.
Durability and ease of maintenance are central to all Horne designs. A protective inlet strainer helps safeguard performance and can be easily cleaned during routine servicing, while the availability of low-cost spare parts supports long service life and optimised whole-life value.
Duŝo BIM models and product data are available on NBS Source, enabling straightforward integration within digital specification platforms such as NBS Chorus and Revit.
