With its ingenious, innovative toilet technology, Duravit offers everything that today's consumers want from a toilet & bathroom furniture: design, easy to clean, hygienic and fitted with a shower function for the utmost comfort.
To meet growing demands, in recent years, the toilet has been continuously honed in terms of flushing technology, design, sustainability, comfort and hygiene. Today, only 4.5 instead of 9 liters of water are required for flushing. Special new ceramic finishes are also environmentally friendly. They are easy to clean and this helps to reduce the use of both water and cleaning agents. Antibacterial glazes, which effectively kill bacteria, meet consumers' demands for greater hygiene. The addition of a shower-toilet seat offers even greater comfort: the warm water cleanses gently and thus meets the need for hygiene and cleanliness.
Open Rim and Efficient Flushing Technology
With its Rimless® technology, thanks to the successful interaction of geometry, optimized flow and design, Duravit has created an example of pure efficiency. The open design of the toilet rim enables an innovative and efficient flush. A dynamic and powerful flow of water describes a horizontal arc, before the water runs down, flushing the entire inner surface of the bowl (figure 1). Of course, the applicable standards with regard to possible splashing are also observed and, in part, even exceeded.
Small Flushing Volume, Easy to Keep Clean
Hygienic flushing results are achieved even with small water volumes of just 4.5 liters. Thanks to the open, easily accessible rim area, the bowl is also particularly easy to keep clean, and this reduces cleaning times considerably. The tried-and-tested WonderGliss coating makes the toilet even easier to keep clean. The optional coating that is baked into the ceramics, doesn't give dirt and limescale a chance: deposits cannot adhere and are therefore flushed away more easily with the water.
Hygienically Clean
The alternative use of HygieneGlaze 2.0 further improves the hygienic properties of the toilet. The new development is not a surface coating but an antibacterial ceramic glaze that provides almost indefinite effectiveness. The optimized combination of four different metal ions and other components forms the basis for the effectiveness of HygieneGlaze 2.0, which kills bacteria and germs. HygieneGlaze is integrated into the ceramic glaze during firing (figure 2). Fired into the inside of the toilet as far as the rim, it kills the unwanted bacteria that are often concealed in toilets and urinals: after six hours, it eliminates up to 90 percent and, after 24 hours, 99.999 percent - an unprecedented level (image 3). HygieneGlaze 2.0 is available for all toilets and urinals in the P3 Comforts, ME by Starck and Vero Air ranges.
Surpassing Existing Measuring Limits
The effect of the innovative glaze on bacteria was so powerful during the hygienic microbiological tests that the measuring procedure results far exceeded the current limit. For this reason, subsequent investigations considered kinetics for the first time. Beforehand, only the starting and finishing concentrations after 24 hours were measured. Now, researchers can measure effectiveness over time and thereby show how many bacteria have been wiped out after 6, 12 and 24 hours.
Iconic Design - Maximum Comfort
The new shower-toilet generation by Duravit and Philippe Starck is available in two versions: SensoWash® Starck f Plus and SensoWash® Starck f Lite. Convenient to operate via a remote control, freely configurable via an app, they both include a minimalist design for maximum shower-toilet comfort. The technology within all components has undergone further development and has been reorganized to now house all technology within the ceramic body. The flat seat with a height of just 40 mm and the white cover located behind it form a flush-mounted unit: contemporary design and comfort-enhancing technology in perfect harmony.
The innovative remote control with its flat, elegant design feels pleasant in the hand and all functions are controlled intuitively. Comfort is guaranteed thanks to technical finishing touches such as the motion sensor for automatic cover opening through the user ID in the seat up to a wide range of setting options for seat heating, for the shower flow, and the controllable hot air dryer.
The associated SensoWash® app enables individual configuration of the shower-toilet, or it can be optionally controlled in the standard way with a remote control.
The flush function and odor extraction system may also be controlled via remote control or app if the wall-mounted element, itself perfectly harmonized for SensoWash® Starck f by Duravit, is combined with the A2 electronic actuator plate.
Thanks to the new Rimless® technology and an optimized basin and siphon geometry, SensoWash® Starck f provides improved water flow for perfect flushing results. HygieneGlaze® 2.0, which kills 99.999% of bacteria in a relatively short time, guarantees an optimum hygiene standard.
The flat, heated toilet seat is made of an especially rugged material and, like the cover, is very hygienic thanks to its scratch-resistant, pore-free surface.
The design of the new shower-toilet impresses with its pared-down aesthetics and timeless modernity: it is a perfect match for all Duravit design ranges. Developed and manufactured by Duravit and designed by Philippe Starck, the new SensoWash® shower-toilet offers attractive pricing, easy installation, and an integrated, fully automated descaling function.

Design as a Masterpiece
Duravit combines the highest manufacturing quality with outstanding design and creates washbasin solutions brimming with innovation: it has taken perfection, years of experience and expertise to develop c-bonded technology, a globally unique process in which ceramics and bathroom furniture are combined almost seamlessly. Thanks to the accurate and precise-fitting connecting technology, ceramic and furniture merge to form a single unit. The actual thickness of the washbasin is invisible and reduced to a precise edge. The transition from the cool, smooth ceramic to the natural texture of the wood is a unique sensation to the touch: the washbasin is a true masterpiece.
The c-bonded version is available in the following versions:
L-Cube furniture + Darling New ceramics
L-Cube furniture + Vero Air ceramics
Brioso furniture + Vero Air ceramics
