Methven Supports BMA's Call for Mandatory Mixer Valves in UK Bathrooms
UK: Methven has joined the Bathroom Manufacturers Association (BMA) in advocating for the UK government to mandate thermostatic mixer valves (TMVs) in bathrooms to prevent scalding incidents, particularly among vulnerable groups like children and the elderly. BMA CEO Tom Reynolds stressed, "Scalding remains a pressing public health concern in the UK... Implementing thermostatic mixing valves in residential properties is vital, ensuring safe water temperatures and preventing severe burns." Methven has expanded its Avoca range, which includes cold start basin mixers and cool touch bar shower mixers, all tested to WRAS standards, to further enhance bathroom safety. Methven UK’s CEO, Martin Walker, confirmed the company's support for the BMA’s efforts and its commitment to developing products prioritizing safety and luxury.
