Global mega-trends continue to impact people’s lives and living environments. Trends such as wellness-inspired bathrooms which promote the highest levels of relaxation and body care, are leading to changes in consumer behaviour.
As designers, planners and architects strive to fulfil these new expectations in their projects, they are specifying shower toilets more and more. Already a standard feature in Asian bathrooms, shower toilets are now making big waves in other international markets.
Shower toilets offer added value for users and project developers alike.
Personal hygiene plays a key role in maintaining health and wellbeing. The more comfortable, personalised and modern a bathroom is in terms of its cleaning functionalities, the higher its perceived value is from a prospective residents’ point of view.
At present, the innovative Sensia® Arena shower toilets from GROHE are still an exclusive feature of luxury residential properties and hotel bathrooms. As a result, installing a Sensia® Arena in a property’s specifications will clearly set it apart from the rest of the market. From new builds and conversions to renovation projects, this luxury, high-tech bathroom appliance provides the very best levels of hygiene and comfort, whilst helping to raise the project’s profile. This is an integral consideration as bathrooms are widely perceived as the flagship space within a home or living space.
For the best in bodily hygiene and bathroom cleanliness.
What makes the Sensia® Arena such a valuable addition to any bathroom is the combination of advanced technologies it incorporates. This shower toilet provides a touch-free cleaning experience using only water and warm air – an all-natural process without paper or chemicals. All function settings such as the position of the shower arm, the preferred water temperature and the favourite spray pattern can be selected to suit individual preferences. In addition, Sensia® Arena benefits from a virtually self-cleaning design. GROHE’s AquaCeramic technology is used to create a non-stick surface while the anti-bacterial HyperClean finish prevents 99 percent of bacteria growth. The Triple Vortex® flushing action means that water is released from three outlets at once, creating a powerful swirl to thoroughly cleanse the entire interior surface.
Asia leads the way in the global shower toilet trend Shower toilets are already very popular in Asia with some 4.25 million units sold annually in Japan, a country with a population of 127 million. In creating its innovative shower toilet, GROHE was able to draw on the experience and expertise of LIXIL, its Japanese parent company. As a result, GROHE Sensia® Arena combines advanced technologies with an attractive design and a unique cost-benefit ratio, making it a safe choice when it comes to specifying innovative features for aspirational bathrooms.
Whilst the European market is yet to show a comparable ratio, it currently boasts the highest growth rates at approximately 20 per cent. European hotels catering to an international clientele can now offer their European guests the highest levels of hygiene and comfort, whilst treating Asian guests to the level of service to which they are accustomed. Shower toilets are emerging as a hallmark of forward-looking hotels with a global outlook. As the popularity of shower toilets continues to increase in both hospitality design and residential properties, more and more people around the world will expect to see them installed in homes, hotels and healthcare facilities.
