Caroma Urbane

Caroma Urbane Buying Guide

Urbane II is built around two genuine technology features rather than styling alone: CleanFlush rimless technology across the toilet range, and GermGard antimicrobial protection integrated into the seat and pan. Beyond the technology, what sets Urbane II apart visually is its thin-edge detailing, a refined, narrow profile carried consistently across basins, tapware and accessories, which is what gives the range its contemporary, considered appearance rather than a bulkier, more traditional silhouette.

What is the Caroma Urbane II range?

Urbane II is a coordinated bathroom and kitchen collection spanning toilets, basins, baths, tapware, showers, kitchen sinks and accessories. Because the range extends into the kitchen as well as the bathroom, a renovation built entirely on Urbane II can carry the same design language through the whole home, kitchen included, without needing to source matching pieces from a separate range once the project moves beyond the bathroom.

Toilets and Cleanflush technology

The CleanFlush toilet suites are the most-searched products within the Urbane II range. CleanFlush is Caroma's rimless bowl design, where water flows in a continuous sheet around the full bowl interior, eliminating the under-rim ledge where bacteria and scale typically accumulate. The wall-faced CleanFlush suite accounts for the majority of demand within the range, though back-to-wall and Invisi Series II (in-wall cistern) configurations are also available. The dual-flush system delivers a 4.5-litre full flush and 3-litre half flush, carrying a WELS 4-star rating.

Basins and baths

Beyond toilets, Urbane II includes above-counter, under-counter and wall-mounted hand basins in coordinating dimensions, typically 500mm to 600mm wide. The range's bath option is a back-to-wall freestanding bath with a 1700mm external footprint, suited to a main bathroom with the floor space to accommodate a freestanding profile.

The consistent radius treatment running across the basins and the bath surround is what ties the sanitaryware together visually, without requiring every piece to be sourced in a matching finish. It's this shared geometry, more than colour or material, that reads as "Urbane II" at a glance. The freestanding and back-to-wall baths collection is worth browsing to compare the Urbane II bath against other options.

Tapware, showers and mixers

The Urbane II tapware range includes basin mixers, sink mixers, pull-out sink mixers and shower mixers. Shower products cover rail showers, including a 300mm overhead option, along with compact twin showers and standalone shower heads.

The basin mixer's squared spout profile is a deliberate design echo of the toilet and basin geometry elsewhere in the range, rather than a separate design decision, which is part of how the range achieves visual consistency without every product needing to be literally identical in shape. All tapware is available in chrome as standard; availability in brushed brass, brushed nickel or matte black varies by product, so it's worth checking the specific item before assuming a finish is available across the full tapware line-up. The broader tapware collection is worth reviewing for finish comparisons across brands.

Bathroom accessories

Caroma produces Urbane II accessories to match: towel rails, toilet roll holders, robe hooks and a bidet seat option. Coordinating accessories to the same range keeps the shadow lines and fixing details reading consistently across the room, since these smaller details are viewed up close and any inconsistency in edge treatment tends to stand out at that distance.

The bidet seat within this range is a separate product that retrofits to the Urbane II toilet suite, rather than a fully integrated washlet unit built into the pan itself. This is a meaningful distinction worth understanding before purchase: it's an added seat rather than a different toilet, which affects both installation and the features available compared with a fully integrated smart toilet.

How does Urbane II compare to other Caroma ranges? 

Within the Caroma lineup, Urbane II sits above the entry-level Liano II and below the premium Luna range. Luna uses softer, more sculpted curves and a deeper gloss finish, while Urbane II uses tighter radiuses and a more angular profile, a genuine difference in design character rather than just a difference in price tier.

The main practical differences between Urbane II and Luna come down to price, basin wall projection and the available bidet integration, since both ranges are Australian-made sanitaryware with equivalent WELS ratings. For renovators weighing the two up, the decision generally comes down to which design language, Urbane II's angular precision or Luna's softer curves, suits the rest of the bathroom's material palette. For a broader look at toilet suites across all brands, including Caroma, Fienza and others, the toilets collection is worth reviewing alongside this range.

Finishes available 

Chrome is the standard finish across all tapware, showers and accessories in the Urbane II range. Matte black is available on selected mixers and some accessories, but coverage isn't uniform across every product in the range, so it can't be assumed to be available on every item.

The sanitaryware, toilets, basins and baths, is white vitreous china as standard, with no coloured sanitaryware finishes offered within this range. Anyone specifying matte black tapware alongside Urbane II sanitaryware should verify individual product finish availability before finalising a full-room specification, since a mismatch between an available tapware finish and an unavailable matching accessory is one of the more common planning mistakes with this range.

Completing the bathroom

Urbane II's design consistency works best when planned as a full room rather than assembled piece by piece. The full Caroma brand hub is worth reviewing for the complete current product list, and The Blue Space's Tiles and Vanities collections are worth browsing alongside an Urbane II selection, so the finished bathroom carries that same considered proportional language through to the surfaces surrounding it.
