Toilets: Tips On Choosing The Best For Your Home

The toilet is perhaps among the most utilitarian home components. This should not imply that we ignore giving the small vital facility some serious thought when it comes to selecting one for the home. Today, it has turned to be the bathrooms centrepiece and as such it is worth some serious consideration, and with so many varieties, that is not an easy thing to do.

Among the very first things that you to be aware of as you think about your new toilet suite is the varieties that are on the market from which you can choose from.

Different Toilet Types Available in the Market

Although there is a diversity of toilets available in the market today, the most common ones you're going to find in the market include the following:

- Flush pipe toilet: The standard type of toilet used in most ordinary homes consisting of a cistern attached by a short pipe to a pan. Though they are the certainly among the most flexible when it comes to placement, they are for sure not the most aesthetically made.

- Concealed toilet: The cistern is concealed within a part of your bathroom cabinetry or inside your bathroom wall in such a manner that all one sees is the pan of your toilet. They are extremely modern and sleek looking, ideal if you got constraints in terms of bathroom space.

- Connector toilet suites: The toilet pan is directly connected to its cistern through a standard pipe. The flush pipe is concealed behind a specially designed connector plate in such a way that your toilet will have the appearance of the close coupled toilet, discussed below. The aesthetics are more appealing and you also get some added flexibility in your toilet lay out.

- Close coupled toilet: The cistern and pan are connected in a way that the flush pipe is not visible. They are easy to clean, very attractive and suit are suitable for all bathroom types.

- Wall faced: Similar to the close coupled toilet suite. However, the pan back can be placed flush against your bathroom wall, so that between the wall and the pan there are no gaps at all. These are solid and attractive units, popular because they are easy to clean.

Things to Look for in the Toilet Suite

Even after narrowing down your toilet suite perhaps to two or three specific types, you may still need to have a number of questions answered to totally make sure that you're getting the most suitable toilet suite.

1. The first aspect to check is concerning toilet efficiency. Go for a type that uses minimal water and preferably one with dual flushing options.

2. Choose something that is attractive and suiting the rest of the room. It would make little sense to select an ultra modern product for a very standard toilet!

3. Make sure it is comfortable, besides looking good. Why not try sitting on it while at the showroom or store to get a feel of it?

4. Also, confirm it will fit in the space you have, lest you're forced to make costly extensions.
