Toilets Buying Guide

Toilets Buying Guide

Sanitaryware

Most bathrooms have a toilet. However, whether you are revamping your bathroom or designing a new one, the toilet is perhaps the last item on your shopping list. The shower unit, the bathtub and the vanity unit take priority. The biggest choice you have today when it comes to design and style makes it a real challenge to choose the right toilet for your space. 

Close-Coupled Toilets

The cisterna is situated at the back of the toilet bowl in a close-coupled toilet and flushes through straight to the pan. This is most popular in homes as it gives a sublime and contemporary aesthetic. In the past, cisterns were hung above the equivalent of the toilet pan set on the wall, to exploit gravity for creating a strong flush. However, this isn’t the case now as with improved technology, the fitting enclosed in the cistern does all the required work. This toilet idea with a matching basin and pedestal makes the modern impact set in your bathroom.

Back-to-Wall Toilets

In this form of toilet, your back is to the bathroom wall, not against the cistern. The cistern is usually sold as a sperate unit and is typically placed within the wall, concealing the plumbing lines. Another favoured option in the back-to-wall toilet is to use a portion of back-to-wall furniture to hide the cistern from view. A push button is fitted for flushing in this set-up. It maximises space in a smaller bathroom and is accompanied by matching basins to complete the sleek, modern look.

Wall-Hung Toilets

Achieving the goal of a modern yet quirky designer feel in your personal bathroom is simple with a wall-hung toilet. The toilet bowl is hung on the bathroom wall with an easy to access flush panel. This toilet not only makes inventive use of space but also makes it easy to clean, with the cistern and pluming lines concealed into the wall also. If you are thinking about the safety aspect of a toilet that hangs off your wall, don’t worry, a decent wall-hung toilet can withstand 200kg.

Bidets

Bidets are specialised for washing after using the toilet. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are used for one purpose. Bidets are identified as healthier as they provide better hygiene. Also, modern bidets are capable of spraying a targeted stream of water.

Modern Toilets 

Oozing class with their sleek lines and eye-catching finish, modern toilets are ideal for any type of bathroom, presenting a versatile addition to modern bathrooms. For accomplishing a contemporary bathroom décor, purchasing a high-level toilet is essential. You can simply and easily find a basin and pedestal that you desire, crafted to perfection to match the latest toilet unit.
