Once perceived as a luxury item, shower toilets are now becoming a regular feature within modern bathroom design. Their rapid rise reflects shifting consumer priorities both towards hygiene and the integration of smart products within the home.
Duravit’s SensoWash® range is a key component in this evolution. Engineered for comfort and connectivity, it offers intuitive features that elevate everyday routines. From user-ID recognition to activate personalised wash settings (Rearwash, Ladywash, Comfortwash) to programmable seat heating all of which can be controlled via an app on your mobile.
Advanced hygiene features include stainless steel spray arms, automatic cleaning cycles, and elevated nozzle positioning to prevent contamination. These innovations support touchless operation and personalised hygiene—priorities that have increased in post-pandemic times.
In the UK, smart toilet sales have surged by 400% in four years and the growth has been driven by the increased awareness of hygiene alongside the ability to integrate smart bathroom tech into residential design. The environment comes into play to, as SensoWash® models use just 0.35–0.6 litres of water per minute, significantly reduce toilet paper consumption thus supporting eco-conscious living.
Duravit’s Rimless® technology ensures efficient flushing with just 4.5 litres of water, while integrated dryers eliminate the need for manual drying. Consumers also value the ability to personalise their experience—whether through app connectivity, remote controls, or preset user profiles.
The latest launch, ME by Starck Hero Edition, combines iconic design with cutting-edge performance. Featuring DuraFlush rotational flush, antibacterial DuraShield® glaze, and whisper-quiet operation. As demand continues to grow, smart toilets are no longer considered niche—they’re a connected lifestyle choice.
