Saving both water and money in the bathroom can be achieved with a range of products from Ideal Standard to assist in conservation.

Created by the German design studio Artefakt, Moments is a fully integrated bathroom collection which is available from Ideal Standard. Co-ordinating the elements of a bathroom - from ceramics and furniture to tap fittings and bath accessories - it conveys the company's concept of a 'Total Bathroom' through consistent design. Functionality and use of space are attributes of the collection. For example, depending on a bathroom's size and shape, ceramic items can either stand alone, be attached to a wall or directly onto furniture. Wash basins, toilets and bidets can be floor-standing or wall-hung. Other innovations include 'fold away' taps, bath shower heads which slide away for safety and tidiness, a detachable bath enclosure which pulls out to provide hidden storage space and a 'soft closing' toilet seat to eliminate the risk of slamming. The bath is available as a freestanding or built-in version with a sliding door panel for storage or an internally illuminated sidewall. In the shower range are five trays with frameless glass panels, a 'soft edge' design, and five control settings with multiple jets.

A temperature control function is also incorporated into the system which reduces energy costs and increases safety.
