There are many factors that will influence the type of toilet you choose. You will need to consider the space available, the design of your bathroom, and how much money you can spend.
Toilets with Close Couples
Closed-coupled toilets are made up of two ceramic pieces, the pan and the container. The cistern is usually mounted on top of the pan and has either a dual flush button or a handle. Closed-coupled toilets (or WCs) are the most popular type of toilet in the UK. There are many styles and shapes available, so make sure to express your individuality when choosing your toilet. Close-coupled toilets are extremely popular and affordable. They are also available in many sizes and styles. They can be installed in a variety of ways, including to the right, left, back, or down.
Toilets Wall Hung
Wall-hung toilets, as their name implies, are mounted from the wall. This creates more space beneath, which makes your bathroom seem larger. This makes it easy to clean the floor and toilet. Wall-hung toilets can also be mounted at different heights, which is great for those who have a taller or shorter toilet. Wall-mounted toilets are supported by strong walls that house the concealed cistern as well as the toilet. Wall-mounted toilets can be attached to any wall. When properly installed, the mounting frames can support approximately 200kg of weight. This means that you won't have to worry about it falling from the wall while you are sitting down.
Back to Wall Toilets
For a minimalist, modern look, back-to-wall toilets work well. The cistern is hidden in the wall or in a piece of furniture. This gives the toilet a clean finish and allows for more space in the bathroom. If the bathroom furniture is fitted with an access panel or a flush plate in a wall, you can reach the cistern through a doorway. Maintenance is generally no more complicated than with a standard toilet. back-to-wall toilets have the same modern look as wall-hung toilets, but without the extra cost of mounting them to the wall. A lack of visible cisterns also makes it easier to create clutter-free spaces.
Toilets without a lid
One of the most innovative developments in toilet design is the rimless toilet. Rimless toilets do not have the traditional rim. To ensure that the toilet bowl is clean with every flush, water is directed around the pan. A rimless toilet flush is more powerful than a traditional one, but it's also less expensive. This will allow you to save money on your water bills. Rimless toilets are extremely clean because there is no rim to trap bacteria and limescale. They are also very easy to clean because they lack a rim.
Toilets with Short Projection
These toilets can be installed in a very small space, so they will not take up much room in your bathroom. They are ideal for small bathrooms and cloakrooms in the UK. Drench considers a compact toilet to be one that does not project into a space of more than 62cm. This toilet type is great if you want to keep your space clutter-free. You may be able to transform an area that was once too small into a bathroom.
Comfort Height Toilets
Comfort height toilets are four to five centimetres taller than regular toilets. This is because they offer more comfort for users. Although it may not seem like much, the extra height makes it easier to get up and down a toilet. Your toilet's comfort height doesn't necessarily mean that you have to compromise on style. Drench offers a wide range of comfortable height toilets, from traditional designs to modern ones.
High-Quality Toilets
High-level toilets can bring elegance and tradition to your bathroom. The water from the flush pipe was used to create pressure in the toilet's cistern. This is no longer necessary, but the traditional appearance of high-level units makes this type of toilet a popular choice. Traditional toilets consist of a high-mounted, wall-mounted cistern, long flush pipes, and a traditional toilet pan. These toilets aren't the best choice for small bathrooms or rooms with low ceilings but they make a statement and are great for creating a classic, elegant bathroom.
Toilets for low-level use
Low-level toilets can be used to create the classic look of a high-level toilet without having to mount a long flush pipe or install a high cistern. This toilet is composed of a low-level cistern, connection flush pipe, and a low-level toilet pan
Corner toilets
These toilets can be used in small bathrooms or to fill empty spaces. This toilet is made with a triangular-shaped cistern that fits into the corner of your room.
Traditional toilets
Traditional toilets add elegance and style to your bathroom. These toilets are sometimes called Victorian toilets. Although they look like older toilets, they have all the modern features you need, such as dual-flush cisterns and soft close seats.
You can see that boring toilets are gone. You can now find a toilet that suits your style and size. But the fun doesn't end there! You can personalize the appearance of your toilet by adding accessories, flush plates and toilet seats.
