Comfort, considered as part of the room.
A shower toilet is one detail in a much bigger picture: the materials you touch, the light around you and the way the whole space feels.
Woodbridge principal suite.
In this Japandi bathroom, Duravit SensoWash has its own softly lit alcove. Maja brought together warm wood tones, textured surfaces, Duravit furniture and a Matki gold-mesh shower screen, with lighting that gives each part of the room its own atmosphere.

Designed around your bathroom
The best choice also needs to fit.
New bathroom or retrofit?
Send plans or photographs of the WC and surrounding space. We will help check the ceramic, frame, water and electrical requirements before specifying a model. A shower-toilet seat is not a universal fit.
What is the complete cost?
The product is one part of the brief. Allow for compatible installation components, fitting and any changes to services or finishes. We prepare a quotation around the agreed specification.
Think about daily use.
Consider reach, the controls you prefer, cleaning access and descaling. If you have particular access requirements, tell us so we can discuss the room and product together.
Duravit Starck f odour extraction depends on a compatible DuraSystem installation and A2 plate; it is not assumed to be included. Ask us about the exact combination.

Bring your questions to a guided visit. Explore our bathroom room settings and ask about the TOTO spa room. We will confirm which models and working demonstrations are available when arranging your visit.
A few questions we often hear.
Is a Japanese toilet the same as a shower toilet?
“Japanese toilet”, “shower toilet” and “bidet toilet” are often used when looking for water-cleansing toilets. WASHLET is a TOTO product name. Compare the actual model and functions, rather than relying on the label.
Does every shower toilet have a dryer?
No. For example, AquaClean Alba and Sela do not include one; Mera Classic and Comfort do. TOTO RW and SW include drying, while RG and RG Lite do not. Use the dryer filter to narrow the comparison.
Can you help with other models or a whole bathroom?
Yes. This is a starting selection, not a complete catalogue or a stock list. We work with the TOTO range, Geberit AquaClean, Duravit SensoWash and hansgrohe LavaPura, including other configurations. We can consider the shower toilet within a wider bathroom design and product specification.
