Aquabrass brings a distinctly Italian sensibility to the North American luxury bath market, and the aquabrass shower system lineup at Plumbtile reflects that heritage in full. Designed and engineered in Montreal with Italian roots, each system pairs precise thermostatic and pressure-balance valve technology with refined trim, showerheads, hand showers, and body sprays — delivering a shower experience that is as considered in function as it is in form.
Why Aquabrass
Founded on the principle that performance and aesthetics are inseparable, Aquabrass has spent decades refining its manufacturing standards to meet the demands of discerning designers and homeowners alike. The brand draws on Italian design tradition while engineering its products to North American plumbing specifications — a combination that is genuinely rare in the luxury segment. Every aquabrass shower system is built from solid brass construction, finished with processes that resist tarnishing and wear, and designed to integrate seamlessly across a complete bathroom program.
What to Look For
When selecting an aquabrass shower system, start with the valve configuration. Aquabrass offers both thermostatic and pressure-balance options: thermostatic valves allow independent control of water temperature and volume, making them well suited to multi-outlet configurations that include body sprays and a hand shower alongside a primary showerhead. Pressure-balance valves are a reliable, code-compliant choice for simpler single-function setups.
Trim collections such as Chicane, Xilo, and Playone each carry a distinct geometric language — from softly curved profiles to sharply linear forms — so the visual character of the system can be matched to the broader design direction of the space. Showerheads are available in ceiling-mount, wall-mount, and rain configurations, and hand shower sets include both slide bar and integrated bracket options. Finish selections span polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, and several specialty options, all applied to solid brass for long-term durability. Confirming that your chosen trim is compatible with the corresponding Aquabrass rough-in valve before purchase is the most important step in specifying any aquabrass shower system.
