Bathroom toilets can be
categorized as antique toilets such as pull-chain high
tank toilet or water closets and modern contemporary
toilets such as ergo dynamic corner toilets and
elongated toilet with large siphon outlets. While
choosing a bathroom toilet seat, check whether it has
a round or elongated front. Round front toilets are
more compact, relatively cheaper and can fit into
small spaces while elongated bowl model toilet seats
have extended rim length and are comfortable to use.
One-piece toilet looks sleek and is actually six to
ten individual fixtures sculpted into a seamless use
as a bathroom space saver idea.
They are available as hand
crafted units too. They may not have crevices between the tank and
bowl, which is susceptible to collect dirt and odors. You may also
buy two piece toilets that look traditional and have separate tank
and bowel that can be bolted together upon installation. Saving
water should be a focus in today's bathroom requirements, so pay
close attention to toilet flushing systems. Average efficient
flush toilets use about 1.6 gallons of water per flush.
Gravity-fed flush toilets give good performance and are efficient
at disposing away the waste quietly. Pressure-assisted toilets use
pressure from the water supply in the home and are slightly
louder. However, there is no condensation on the outer tank to
complain of.
Deep toilets with even surface
and a rich coat of glaze are easy to clean and smoothness of the
internal trap way facilitates the flow of waste and prevents
clogging. High quality toilet seats are quite durable and
efficient too. Bathroom toilets come in various sizes with varying
width, depth and height so make sure what kind of toilet seats are
compatible with the plumbing style of your bathroom. While most
toilets bolt to the floor 12 inch from the wall, there are 10 inch
and 14 inch models available in the market too. Previously, the
toilets used 5 gallons of water per flush that were later reduced
to 3.5 gallons and today 1.6 gallons per flush is the mandatory
standard. Check with your local authorities to find the water
efficiency standards set to conserve water that you need to follow
while installing your toilet seat.
Then, there are toilets that address specific needs such as
toilets that issue warm water followed by a flow of warm air. High
tech toilet seats today have a heating unit, a fan, an air
purifier and a wand that sprays warmed water. There are toilet
seats that offer pre-warmed seats for greater comfort. Some of
them come with spot fans that pass the toilet air through a filter
so there bathroom is always rid of odors. Bathroom toilets with
their tanks and flushing mechanisms hidden inside the wall look
quite attractive. Elderly will love to use pre-heated seats while
the remote control device to control the spray proves handy when
you have to take care of an invalid or handicapped person.
You can find beautiful glossy colors in toilet seats but even
better are toilet seats with antibacterial glazing that kills
common bacterial types and inhibits growth of germs. The latest
trend is for seats that don't have flush lever or button. They
flush automatically, when you close the lid of the toilet seat,
thus actually improving your bathroom toilet manners. You may also
opt for two levers instead of single flush lever for optimized use
of water. Using the smaller flush releases only 0.6 gallons of
water per flush. For tiny bathrooms, you can use toilets with
specially designed triangular tank that can fit into the corner of
the bathroom.
