Top Tips for Choosing your Toilet!

Do you know a close coupled toilet from a back-to-wall? Have you considered comfort height, or even rimless suites?

Choosing the right toilet for your bathroom involves more than just picking a model that fits the space, with the huge variety of designs now available, your chosen toilet can make a big difference in making your bathroom comfortable, stylish, and convenient!

Let’s dive into the top types of toilets and their features and benefits so you know how to pick the perfect one for your space.

Close Coupled Toilets
Close coupled toilets are the traditional option that many of us know and love. With the cistern and bowl closely coupled together, they create a compact unit that’s easy to install and maintain.

Available in various shapes and styles, these toilets can fit seamlessly into both modern and classic bathroom designs, providing a reliable solution that never goes out of style!

Wall Hung Toilets
Wall hung toilets are a fantastic choice for those aiming for a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

Mounted directly to the wall, wall hung toilets create the illusion of more space, making your bathroom feel larger. The cistern is also concealed within the wall, giving a cleaner, more streamlined appearance.

Perhaps one of the biggest selling points of a wall hung toilet is the fact that they make cleaning a breeze, as the toilet is elevated off the floor, and doesn’t have the tight corners traditional toilets do!

You can also choose to adjust the height of your toilet during installation for maximum comfort. Just remember to ensure you install the correct frame for your toilet to attach to!

Back-to-Wall Toilets
If you love a sleek and stylish look, with the option to co-ordinate the toilet area with your furniture, a back-to-wall toilet may be for you!

These toilets hide the cistern within the wall or a chic cabinet, offering a clean and contemporary design. This not only saves space but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. With fewer exposed surfaces, back-to-wall toilets are also easy to maintain, making them a smart choice for any bathroom renovation.

Some of our furniture ranges also include WC units, so you can pair your back-to-wall toilet with a co-ordinating WC unit for a stylish, cohesive design.

Part Shrouded and Fully Shrouded Toilets
The key difference between part and fully shrouded toilets is the level of concealment: in part shrouded toilets the pipework is partially covered, whereas fully shrouded toilets completely conceal the pipework. The choice between the two often depends on your own personal style preferences, your plumbing set up, and the overall design of your bathroom!

Comfort Height Toilets
Designed to be taller than standard models, comfort height toilets make sitting down and standing up easier. This thoughtful design provides a practical and ergonomic bathroom solution, making them a popular choice for many households.

Rimless
Rimless toilets are popular for being more hygienic as the absence of a rim means there are fewer places for bacteria to accumulate, making them easier to clean. Many rimless designs feature sleek, modern aesthetics, making them a stylish addition to any contemporary space.

Soft-Close Seats
And finally, don’t underestimate the importance of a good toilet seat!

Soft-close seats have a fantastic feature that prevents the seat from slamming shut. This not only reduces noise but also protects the toilet from wear and tear over time. These are great for households with children, as the seat won’t slam and trap little fingers! Available in various styles, soft-close seats enhance both the comfort and longevity of your toilet, making them a worthwhile investment.
