Discover TOTO bathrooms London-wide at Alternative Bathrooms, with innovative Japanese bathroom design and WASHLET technology on display across our London showrooms.
Japanese bathroom design has long been associated with simplicity, precision and an exceptional attention to detail. Few brands embody this philosophy quite like TOTO.
Founded in Japan in 1917, TOTO has spent more than a century rethinking the bathroom experience, combining beautifully understated design with pioneering technology, exceptional hygiene and everyday comfort.
Today, TOTO bathrooms are found in some of the world’s most considered interiors – and their innovative WASHLET has transformed expectations of what a WC can offer.
At Alternative Bathrooms, TOTO products can be viewed across our London showrooms, with working displays available at most locations.
What makes TOTO bathrooms London different?
TOTO‘s approach to bathroom design goes beyond appearance.
The company has continually developed technologies designed to improve hygiene, comfort and ease of use, while maintaining the clean, minimal aesthetic for which Japanese design is known.
From advanced WASHLET technology to sophisticated flushing systems and beautifully proportioned ceramics, the emphasis is on products that quietly improve the way the bathroom is experienced.
It’s technology with a purpose – integrated into the bathroom rather than dominating it.
What is a TOTO WASHLET?
Perhaps TOTO’s best-known innovation, the WASHLET combines the functions of a WC and bidet within one beautifully designed product.
Depending on the model, features can include warm-water cleansing, adjustable water pressure and temperature, a heated seat, warm-air drying and automatic functions.
More advanced models introduce additional comfort and hygiene technology, while maintaining TOTO’s characteristically understated appearance.
For anyone unfamiliar with a WASHLET, seeing and experiencing one in person can make a considerable difference. The technology is discreet, intuitive and designed to become part of an everyday routine.
Hygiene at the heart of the design
Hygiene is central to TOTO’s design philosophy.
Rather than relying solely on conventional cleaning, TOTO has developed technologies that help keep the WC cleaner through its design, ceramic surfaces and flushing performance.
Features vary between collections and WASHLET models, but can include TOTO‘s specially developed ceramic glazing, powerful flushing technology and systems designed to reduce the build-up of dirt and bacteria.
The result is a WC that has been considered not simply as an object within the bathroom, but around the way it is actually used and maintained.
Japanese technology, beautifully concealed
One of the reasons TOTO works particularly well within luxury bathroom schemes is that the technology doesn’t need to make the bathroom feel technical.
A WASHLET can sit comfortably within a calm, minimal interior alongside natural stone, timber, textured surfaces and beautifully specified brassware.
Concealed systems allow much of the engineering to disappear from view, leaving clean lines and carefully considered proportions.
It’s an approach that works particularly well in contemporary bathrooms where the aim is to combine comfort and technology without compromising the overall interior design.
Is a TOTO WASHLET suitable for a London home?
TOTO WASHLETs can be incorporated into both new bathroom projects and renovations, although the requirements need to be considered at the design stage.
Depending on the model and installation, electrical and plumbing provision may be required, alongside the appropriate concealed frame or WC installation system.
Planning these details early allows the technology to be integrated neatly into the finished bathroom.
This is where working with an experienced bathroom designer can be particularly valuable. The WC isn’t considered in isolation; its position, services, lighting, furniture and surrounding finishes can all be incorporated into the overall bathroom design.
Which TOTO products should you choose?
There isn’t one TOTO solution that’s right for every bathroom.
The collection includes different WC and WASHLET combinations, with varying levels of technology, design and functionality.
Room size, installation requirements, preferred features and budget will all influence the most appropriate choice.
Visiting a showroom provides an opportunity to compare products in person, understand the differences between models and discuss how they could work within your own bathroom.
Where can I see TOTO bathrooms in London?
TOTO products are on display across all Alternative Bathrooms London showrooms.
