Get to Know Caroma: The Brand Behind Our Bathrooms

Caroma is an Australian bathroom brand with more than 80 years of experience in bathroom design and innovation.

The company's story began in 1941 with South Australian inventor Charles Rothauser. Since then, Caroma has grown to become one of Australia's most recognised bathroom brands, with products spanning toilets, basins, tapware, showers, baths and bathroom accessories.

Innovation has played an important role throughout Caroma's history. The brand was the first to commercialise dual-flush toilets in 1980 and has continued to develop new bathroom technologies focused on performance, water efficiency and everyday usability.

Caroma supplies a range of bathroom fixtures and fittings used throughout Hudson Homes.

Depending on the home design, inclusions package and selections, these can include products such as:

Caroma products can be found across bathrooms, ensuites, powder rooms, and other wet areas within our homes.

With products available across complete bathroom collections, Caroma also gives homeowners the ability to create a coordinated look across multiple fixtures while maintaining the functionality required for everyday use.

Caroma produces a broad range of products designed for bathrooms and other wet areas of the home.

Its range includes toilets, basins, baths, tapware, showers and bathroom accessories, as well as products for kitchens and laundries.

Having multiple product categories available through the same brand makes it easier to select fixtures that work together both visually and functionally.

For homeowners, this can help create a bathroom that feels considered and consistent rather than having each fixture appear as a separate design choice.

What is Caroma EasySwitch®?

Designed for today. Ready for tomorrow. Caroma EasySwitch® gives you the freedom to update your tapware finish or style as your bathroom evolves. With a universal in-wall body hidden behind the wall, you can easily update the visible trim without major renovation work, saving time, cost, and disruption

What is Caroma CleanFlush® technology?

CleanFlush® is Caroma's award-winning rimless toilet technology, first introduced by the brand in 2016.

Traditional toilets have a rim around the inside of the bowl that directs water during flushing. A rimless design removes this concealed area, making more of the bowl accessible for cleaning.

Caroma's CleanFlush® toilets are designed to direct water around the bowl during each flush while providing a cleaner, more hygienic and accessible bowl design.

The technology is available across a number of Caroma toilet ranges, including selected products within the Luna® Collection.

Are Caroma products designed to help save water?

Water efficiency has been a major focus of Caroma's product development for decades.

One of the brand's best-known innovations came in 1980, when Caroma became the first company to commercialise the dual-flush toilet. The system allows users to choose between two flush volumes depending on what is required, helping reduce unnecessary water use.

Today, all Caroma toilets, tapware products and showers carry WELS water-efficiency ratings.

For example, selected Luna® mixers achieve an industry best, 6-star WELS rating, while showers within the collection also incorporate water-saving technology designed to maintain consistent performance without compromising on comfort and experience.

Why are quality bathroom fixtures important in a new home?

Bathroom fixtures are among the most frequently used products in a home.

Taps may be turned on dozens of times each day, toilets need to operate reliably and showers must provide consistent performance while dealing with regular exposure to water and moisture.

Choosing quality products helps ensure these fixtures are suited to regular household use while also contributing to the overall finish of the bathroom.

Caroma designs its products with durability and everyday use in mind. Selected Luna® tapware, for example, is manufactured using high-quality materials, with ceramic discs subjected to extensive cycle testing to help ensure reliable operation over time.

Can Caroma products suit different bathroom styles?

Yes. Caroma offers bathroom fixtures across a range of shapes, designs and finishes, giving homeowners flexibility when creating their preferred look.

Collections such as Luna® include coordinated tapware, showers and accessories in a variety of finishes, allowing the fixtures to complement other bathroom selections such as tiles, cabinetry and benchtops.

Depending on the product, finishes can include options such as chrome, satin black, brushed nickel and brushed brass.

Whether the aim is a clean contemporary bathroom or something warmer and more distinctive, these options allow fixtures to become part of the overall design of the space.

How does Caroma support a Hudson Homes build?

Caroma products form an important part of the bathrooms and wet areas within our homes.

While these fixtures are often among the finishing touches customers see towards the later stages of construction, they are products homeowners will interact with every day once they move in.

Having an established bathroom supplier helps provide consistency across these areas while giving our customers access to products that balance functionality, water efficiency and contemporary design.

From toilets and showers to tapware and accessories, Caroma helps us complete bathrooms that are practical, coordinated and designed for everyday living.

Why is professional installation of bathroom fixtures important?

Even a high-quality bathroom product needs to be installed correctly to perform as intended.

Professional installation helps ensure products such as toilets, mixers, basins and showers are correctly connected to the home's plumbing system, securely fitted and installed according to the relevant specifications.

Correct installation is particularly important for fixtures that manage water, as poor installation can contribute to leaks, inefficient operation or damage to surrounding surfaces.

By combining quality products with professional installation throughout the construction process, we can help ensure each bathroom is finished with the care and attention expected in a Hudson Homes build.

What makes Caroma the right partner for Hudson Homes?

For us, it comes down to quality, innovation and creating products that are suited to everyday Australian living.

Bathrooms play an important role in every home, and the products installed within them need to combine appearance with reliable everyday performance.

With more than 80 years of Australian bathroom innovation, Caroma brings extensive experience across toilets, tapware, showers, basins and bathroom accessories. Its history of innovations such as dual-flush and CleanFlush®, together with coordinated contemporary collections , helps us create bathrooms that are practical, efficient and designed to look great.
