The growing popularity of shower toilets can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the pandemic has heightened awareness about hygiene, particularly in bathrooms, leading to increased demand for cleaner and more hygienic toilet options like shower toilets. Additionally, with more multigenerational households emerging, there is a greater need for bathrooms that cater to varying accessibility needs, making shower toilets an appealing choice. While the cost of advanced shower toilets has historically deterred some customers from upgrading, the market now offers more affordable entry-level options, making this innovative bathroom technology more accessible to a wider audience. I was on-site the other week at Geberit HQ, the range and quality of these was something else.
