Shower-toilet: A sense of modern wellbeing in the bathroom at home
Technical finishing touches and intuitive operability
• Freshness and cleanliness for every day
• Technical finishing touches and customization
• Timeless design and seamless integration
• Independence for people with limited mobility
A shower-toilet represents quality of life, comfort, and hygiene. It is not long since heated seats and electric windows in cars were considered luxuries, and nowadays both come as standard – and by no means just on top-end cars. Like heated seats in cars, shower-toilets are an integral feature of a modern bathroom.
Also known as the “Japanese toilet”, this is a combination of a bidet and toilet: after a user has gone to the toilet, an extendible spray arm provides thorough and targeted cleaning with water. The spray arm cleans itself before and after use. Consequently, shower-toilets are the most hygienic, most pleasant solution for cleaning the body after going to the toilet.
Customizable down to the smallest detail
Duravit has enhanced these basic functions with further smart features that raise not only the standard of personal hygiene, but also comfort to a new level.
Many shower-toilet models can be individually configured using the associated SensoWash® app, or they can be optionally controlled in the standard way using an remote control. Users’ individual user profiles can be loaded at any time.
Diverse functions for improved comfort
The precise position of the spray arm can be configured and stored in advance and also adjusted during use. Similarly, the temperature of the water and the intensity of the shower flow can be fine-tuned to users’ specific requirements, ensuring a gentle cleaning process.
Technical finishing touches such as the motion sensor for automatic cover opening through the user recognition in the seat up to a wide range of configuration options for seat heating, the shower flow, and the controllable hot hair dryer further simplify operation and use of the shower-toilet. The illuminated inside bowl also makes the toilet easier to find at night.
Minimalist design
Duravit shower-toilets not only represent the state of the art in technical terms, their minimalist design also means that they can be integrated seamlessly and harmoniously into any bathroom interior. They are streets ahead of conventional toilets. Shower-toilets save space as no separate bidet is required in the bathroom: the Rearwash function is already integrated into the toilet. Moreover, users no longer need to awkwardly reposition themselves on to the bidet for a refreshing shower.
The new shower-toilet generation from Duravit and Philippe Starck is available in two variants: SensoWash® Starck f Plus and SensoWash® Starck f Lite. The components have been arranged so that all the technology is housed within the ceramic body. The seat and the white cover located behind it form a unit.
Practical everyday aids boost quality of life
Shower-toilets boost the quality of life for all generations. Shower-toilets mean that especially people whose mobility is restricted in the short or long term and older people can look after their personal hygiene. They can clean their intimate area with no physical exertion required on their part. They also do not need to rely on other people, which helps them maintain their independence.
Hygienic cleaning made easy
The Duravit shower-toilets are also easy to clean. Thanks to the new Rimless® technology and an optimized basin and siphon geometry, SensoWash® Starck f provides improved water flow for perfect flushing results. The hygienic glaze HygieneGlaze®, which kills up to 99 percent of bacteria in a relatively short time, guarantees an optimum standard of hygiene. The integrated, fully automatic descaling function further enhances cleanliness.
