The Mira Opero has push-fit, spannerfree, front of tile installation, offering the appearance of a built-in shower, without the hassle. Providing solutions to the complexities of built-in showers, installers can meet the demand for the popular bathroom design, without potential leaks in the wall cavity, tricky trims or the troubles of longer term maintenance.
The surface mounted Mira Opero also comes with 50mm pipe centres meaning it easily retrofits the Mira Agile, and thanks to its adjustable arm, installers can position the deluge overhead anywhere, offering easy fitting for every bathroom. Operated via a push button for simple on/ off control, end-users can enjoy the generous 250mm overhead or multi-mode handset at the touch of a button, with the convenience of being able to run both heads at the same time.
This new launch features Mira’s innovative HydroGlo™ technology, a warmup feature that communicates through a glowing light when the shower has reached its desired temperature. This light is also self-powered, meaning it requires no electricity, batteries or extra wiring. Also included with the Mira Opero is Mira CoolShield™ - a technology that stops heat transferring to exposed surfaces of the shower valve, providing consumers with peace of mind.
Mira Opero As with all Mira mixers, Opero has also been developed with Mira Magni-flo™ technology, which means a Mira mixer can deliver maximum flow even with water pressures as low as 0.1 bar. The company says that all of these features mean that installers can provide premium, luxury showering to their customers easier than ever before.
Available in a variety of luxurious finishes including Chrome, Matt Black and Brushed Nickel, the minimalist design of the Mira Opero provides a sleek, modern aesthetic to any bathroom and allows for a personalised, bespoke solution for customers. Winner of the 2021 Red Dot Award, the new Mira Opero impressed the jury with its ease of use and elegant design making it the perfect product for installers to recommend to their customers.
Mira Opero also comes complete with a 5-year guarantee which is standard across Mira’s mixer category.

The last two years have if anything put a spotlight on the acronym ‘PPE’ and led the world to believe that it consists purely of ‘Masks, Coveralls and gloves.
BiKBBI members though will know that it is far from just that and the whole subject covers an enormous range of items that make our jobs safer personally and to those we work with.
Having the right products for the right job has never been more important and therefore the requirement for PPE and Workwear that meet specific standards as a part of more legislation is, we believe, critical.
The PPE range is substantial and covers, eye, head, hearing and respiratory protection, spill control products, GPS safety, First aid kits, wipes and kneepads etc.
The bonus for us at Image On is the diverse array of additional PPE products covered, including, Gloves, Footwear, Clothing of varying specifications such as Workwear, Flameproof, Hi Viz, Rainwear, Health and Food care in various styles, colours and fit.
The ability to not just promote quality but safety specific products mean we can now be assured our customers are covered from every aspect of their workwear.” Surprisingly, even when using what many would assume to be simple Hi-Viz products which are often seen as cheap throw away items, can see a business breaking the law if not using officially legislated garments. With this in mind, Image On Director, Neill Boatman, spoke to the team here at The Installer magazine: “We saw the need to enhance our portfolio and knowledge-based approach in being able to supply products specific to the requirements of customers. As a result, we were delighted to be appointed distributors for the renowned brand ‘Portwest’ thus giving us access to its impressive range of ‘PPE and Workwear.
It’s implementation into our retail offering, via our online store and in-house shop available for customers to visit in person makes the Portwest range more accessible than ever.
For more information on Portwest and the entire Image On range, visit: www.imageonworkwear.com Health issues have dominated our lives over the last couple of years and show no sign of abating. Health & Safety issues have not gone away either and so our advice to all installers, is to get smart and check that you meet all the required criterion as soon as possible.
