Over the years, bathrooms have evolved from being mere functional spaces into oases of wellness and tranquility especially in hospitality and residential spaces. Japanese bathroom innovations have played a significant role in this transformation, allowing users to have an enjoyable and seamless bathroom experience, thanks to their one-of-a-kind toilet technologies.
This was further highlighted during the recently concluded INAX Build Well with Builderware in Tagbilaran, Bohol. A collaborative event of INAX and Builderware, the momentous occasion gathered architects and contractors based in Bohol to discuss the latest trends in construction and design specifically in the hospitality and residential spaces. Present to show his support to this initiative was Reginald Ong, Builderware’s president.
The event showcased INAX as a leading sanitary brand, giving emphasis to its long history in bathroom innovations that can now be offered in the Visayas region. For example, the Aquaceramic technology makes smooth, stain-repellant surfaces possible, allowing stubborn dirt to be washed away by a simple flush. Meanwhile, the Plasmacluster effectively disinfects airborne and bacteria on the surface of the bowl and prevents odor, while its Foam cushion technology minimizes urine splashback and muffles water noise. To keep the bathroom smelling fresh all the time, INAX ‘s Air Shield deodorizer creates a barrier within the bowl to prevent odors from escaping into the atmosphere while powerfully removing odors, while the Room refresh function uses ions to refresh even the toilet surrounding at a preferred time each day. Finally, INAX also makes SATIS, the world’s most compact tankless shower toilet, available to Bohol-based architects and contractors.These technologies were presented during the event, including the Satis G, SARAS, S400 series and the S100 series.
“This collaboration brings together INAX’s legacy of Japanese craftsmanship and design with Builderware’s all-in-one construction ecosystem—redefining how modern spaces are built and experienced,” noted Florlyn Matildo, leader of LIXIL Water Technology, INAX Brand Philippines.

About INAX
INAX is a Japanese brand that manufactures innovative sanitary ware and artistic ceramic tiles. The history of INAX can be traced back over 100 years when our forefathers worked on producing the tiles for the second main building of the Imperial Hotel designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. By determining the properties of clay and the impact of fire, through numerous trials, we succeeded in the large-scale production of decorative tiles, which became the foundation of INAX. Since then, we have continuously pursued to deliver products for new and better living, engaging in challenging innovations including the first made-in-Japan shower toilet, self-powered hands-free faucet, and interior tiles that freshen the air in the room. Meanwhile, we cultivated our skills to produce tiles that offer sophisticated expressions through delicate coloring and texture, gaining inspiration from Japanese tradition, culture, and the seasonal changes of nature. Our expressive and technical ability became visible through the tiles of the restored exterior tiles of St. Francesco’s church (built in 1963), designed by Italian architect, Gio Ponti. The installation was completed in 2008.
INAX creates beautiful, innovative bathrooms from Japan that make everyday life easier, healthier, and more enjoyable, enabling everyone to live well. www.inax.com
