Duravit highlights shower-toilets for hygiene upgrade

23 Apr 2026 CW Team

Duravit is highlighting the growing adoption of shower-toilets as a hygienic and comfort-driven upgrade for modern bathrooms, as the technology gains wider acceptance beyond its traditional stronghold in Asia.

Shower-toilets combine toilet and bidet functions, using an electronically controlled water jet for cleansing. Users can adjust water temperature, pressure, and spray position via remote control or mobile applications, offering a more personalised and hygienic alternative to conventional toilet paper.

Duravit’s SensoWash® Starck f models integrate all technical components within the ceramic body, maintaining a clean, minimalist aesthetic while delivering advanced functionality.

In addition to water-based cleansing, these systems incorporate features such as automatic lid operation, odour extraction, and seat heating, enhancing daily comfort and usability.

The company’s portfolio spans multiple segments, from entry-level SensoWash® D-Neo to premium offerings under the SensoWash® Starck f range, catering to varying design and performance requirements.

The rising interest reflects a broader shift in bathroom design towards hygiene-focused, technology-enabled solutions that combine functionality with user comfort and contemporary aesthetics.
