Eco-Friendly Hotel Bathrooms
Large or compact, traditional or
modern, boutique or luxury, hotel
bathroom design has become
increasingly influenced by eco-
conscious product innovations, in
particular around the efficient output
of water. The hotel bathroom space
is constantly evolving and guests and
designers are looking for more than just
basic fixtures and fittings. From rainfall
showers, high-tech digital valves and
multi-outlet systems that include the
likes of body jets, dual-function shower
flows and additional handsets, each of
these products require hotel bathrooms
to work harder than ever and use more
energy to run.
In the current day and age, as energy
is depleted at an increasingly alarming
rate, it is more important than ever to
find eco-friendly alternatives in hotel
bathroom design that incorporate
both water-saving and energy-saving
features – designed to minimise the
impact of the hotel industry on the
environment. Although much of the
waste is caused by bad habits, installing
and maintaining water-saving
bathroom fixtures is an enormously
important step.
When it comes to specifying eco-
friendly designs, Crosswater advises
hotel designers to opt for products that
are WRAS approved, as it is a calculable
way to guarantee that bathroom suites
will not only be saving water but also
utilising it in the most efficient way
possible.
These regulations require water
fittings, such as valves and taps that
do not cause waste, misuse, undue
consumption or contamination of the
water supply.
Crosswater is dedicated to ensuring all
of its products are as environmentally
friendly as possible and over 200 of
its products already proudly wear the
WRAS badge of approval.
Designs such as the Neopearl shower
flow regulators are the ideal option
for hotels looking to make the next
eco-friendly step. With amazing
water-saving capacity, the functional
regulator reduces water consumption
to a maximum level whilst the unique
flow regulator technology keeps the
flow rate constant across the pressure
and can be inserted directly into most
fixed showerheads, handsets or basin
monoblocs.
Eco-friendly toilets are also becoming
an increasingly popular option as
an easy and immediate way to save
water in many hotels across the
UK and globally. Installing eco-
friendly WCs will assist in conserving
natural resources as well as being
environmentally friendly.
The Crosswater Kai collection conforms
to - and exceeds - required British
and European quality, performance,
sustainability and water saving
regulations.

The Kai WCs consume 33% less
water by using the latest flush
systems making them incredibly
environmentally friendly.
The design of Crosswater’s Wild
Rimless WC also makes for a
fantastically economical option; the
stunning collection of pure Italian
designs are each expertly crafted with
an innovative rimless bowl that is
complemented alongside superior,
tried-and-tested flush technology
to ensure the very best in hygiene
function, whilst reducing water
consumption with an eco-friendly
half or full flush. Featuring dual flush
technology, it provides the option
to regulate how much water is used,
which helps to save even more water by
simply adjusting the larger flush to the
reduced water volume setting.
