The pandemic has changed the way we live and maybe now is the time to future proof our bathrooms and change our habits. The smart toilet that pre-warms the seat and flushes at a spoken command. On the one hand, this is a pleasant luxury, but on the other hand it can restore to those of us with physical disabilities, a little bit of quality of life. A voice command is all it takes to run a bubble bath. The showering system can be fed with various settings. In the morning, a simple “Start my morning shower” command can mean the perfect start to the day. The system then provides the individual mix of hot water, steam, light and music or preset sea sounds.

There have been so many advancements with smart connectivity within the Bathroom sector, it really is amazing what is on offer now.

Let’s talk Loos

Smart toilets are already popular in countries such as Japan, but the western world has been slower on the update.

Unlike some other smart gadgets, a smart toilet isn’t just a fad – it can improve hygiene for the whole family. Imagine using the toilet without ever needing to touch a lid, seat or flush handle. Some models will flip the seat and lid automatically, reduce your toilet paper consumption by including a budget wand, and flush the bowl for you.

But if this is one stage too far then a wall mounted soft close toilet is a good compromise, which is hygienic (by being able to clean underneath) and having a hidden cistern boxed beneath tiles, creating the illusion of added space coupled with a smart sensor flush plate – means no need to touch when you want to flush.

Post Pandemic: washing our hands without touching anything.

Introducing movement infared sensors within our taps puts an end to germ-ridden accessories. The sensor knows when your hands are under the tap, and automatically starts the water flowing. The chosen temperature is set in advance, in the settings. Gone are the days when the water kept on running while you dashed off to answer the door or phone. No hands under the tap – no water out of the tap.

Are you a shower crooner? Singing in the shower can be uplifting first thing in the morning, but now, we have shower heads that not only that display the most ambient colour lighting but have built-in wireless speakers that connects to your device using Bluetooth.

Arteform have incredibly beautiful and inspirational showerheads that brings the Spa into your home, with features such as Jets, rain, blade, tropical and atomizing spray. The chrome square or circular design ensures that you have a full tropical rainforest immersion experience. Chromotherapy and aromatherapy with built-in diffuser. It also boasts a touch display with electronic diverter to control.

At Dimension’s showroom, we have a fully operational spa display. So, if you wanted to see for yourself how this amazing shower works then, just pop in.

Underfloor heating – turn it on via the ‘Smart App’, so it is lovely and toasty when you get home.

Tempted by the Spa experience?

Create your own wellness oasis with our simple suggestions. Choose a bath that suits you and your family’s needs, there are so many shapes and clever designs that we can guide you through then add Viega’s brilliant technology to create your very own SMART bath.

Currently the Viega Multiplex E3 system can be programmed and operated via a dedicated webpage from your PC, phone or tablet, connected via your regular home router. However, Viega are considering the use of an app to deliver the next level of user functionality, that will allow you to command the Viega Multiplex system directly from your smart phone or home device, creating a really ‘WOW’ bathing experience.

And after that? It’s only a small step to adding voice control, that is already familiar technology in the home.

“Fill up my bath now with 130 litres of water at 45.5 degrees Celsius, please”

This may sound one step too far but for new mums, it will be a convenient and safe way to have a hands-free bath run at the perfect temperature whilst holding the baby. For the busy homeowner, the Multiplex can be programmed to your exact requirements, so running the perfect temperature and quantity is easy.
