How to create a sustainable bathroom at home

Few places in the home combine sustainability and style like the bathroom. We explain what you need to know to create an attractive and welcoming bathroom without compromising your commitment to the environment.

Is it possible to combine bathroom comfort with sustainability? The answer is an absolute yes. The key to a sustainable bathroom is to choose durable, resource-efficient materials that respect the environment, create a conscious design with timeless aesthetics, and select components and technologies that have been developed with environmental guidelines in mind. Follow these practical tips and you'll see how your bathroom can become an eco-efficient space without sacrificing comfort or style.

Saving without realising it

Minimise your water usage almost effortlessly. Toilets equipped with dual flush cisterns release different amounts of water according to requirements, making them the perfect allies in curbing unnecessary waste. Innovations like Roca's W+W, use water from the basin to flush the toilet, further increasing efficiency.

Smart Shower

Avoid wasting litres of water when taking a shower by using the Smart Shower. This smart panel allows you to step into the shower when the water is at the right temperature and flow, so you don’t have to wait and or waste water. The aerators built into Roca’s faucets blend water with air, subtly reducing the flow rate without sacrificing comfort.

How to be more efficient

Using energy efficiently in your bathroom not only saves money, but also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It all starts with one simple action. Roca’s Ona and Insignia collections feature Cold Start faucets, which use the front opening for cold water, preventing unintentional boiler activation. With these elegantly designed taps, you’ll save up to 45% energy* compared to traditional systems.

The thermostatic faucets are equipped with Quick Reaction® technology. This mechanism helps you reach the desired temperature in seconds and ensures that the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius as a standard safety measure.

Additional energy-saving options include mirrors featuring LED lights. Make sure your bathroom is adequately ventilated and illuminated, using strategically positioned windows or extractor fans that use sensors to activate only when necessary.

Sustainable materials

Choose companies that are committed to innovative approaches in the manufacture of their products. Nowadays, it is increasingly easy to find renewable materials or composites made from recycled materials that are also aesthetically appealing. 

The Tura collection incorporates recycled fabrics, felt and cork in its accessories. These unconventional materials introduce warmth into the bathroom and will make you fall in love with this part of your home.

Lifecycle

Sustainable design covers the entire lifespan of a product, starting from production using environmentally friendly materials and processes, to packaging and distribution. Companies with factories located in different parts of the world will produce locally as much as possible to reduce emissions associated with transportation. It also helps to prioritise products that are packaged in recyclable materials, such as cardboard, to further promote sustainability.

The result will be a stylish bathroom that gives you wellbeing and the reassurance that you are taking firm steps towards sustainability.
