BATHROOMS & WETROOMS
LATEST REPORT FROM TRITON SHOWERS SHOWS SUSTAINABLY DESIGNED HOMES WANTED BY HOMEBUYERS
It ' s clear that the market is ripe for change . Just over half ( 53 %) of those asked said they were using an electric shower to manage their energy and water consumption . Triton is encouraging more homeowners , along with housebuilders and specifiers , to switch to electric showers . By doing so , this can lead to a significant drop in a home ’ s overall demand . For example , by opting for an electric shower instead of a mixer , an average family of four could save over 48,000 litres of water a year and reduce the home ’ s carbon footprint by 0.31 tonnes .
With all of this in mind , Triton is moving the dial on sustainability . Electric is the future of water heating , as only the water that is used is heated , helping to bring down energy and water use . All of Triton ’ s electric showers are A-rated energy efficient products and come in a range of styles to suit bathrooms of all shapes and sizes , giving homeowners the freedom to choose the lower impact option .

Sustainable use of the planet ’ s resources is now a widely acknowledged issue , and there ’ s been a big shift in public awareness around the challenges . Research undertaken by Triton Showers has revealed a growing clamour amongst homeowners for products and appliances that minimise their impact on the environment . The findings , which are outlined in Greener UK Showers : lowering the water and energy consumption of showers in residential properties , highlight that 86 per cent claim water wastage is an important concern to them .
However , Triton ’ s survey , which was across 2,000 people in the UK , also found that 64 % were unsure how to monitor their own usage . Alongside this , 55 % of respondents said they expected to pay more for eco-friendly products – highlighting a lack of consumer knowledge as this is rarely the case . As many as 80 % of people said they expect housebuilders to now develop homes that are environmentally friendly .
