Here How To Choose the perfect Toilet for Your Bathroom

Is there really much to think about other than looks when selecting a toilet for a bathroom remodel? Surprisingly, yes. When it comes to choosing a commode, size, height and how well it functions should play into your decision.
 
Toilets have changed in recent years. There’s a toilet to fit every style. You can even buy a square or
stainless-steel toilet, among many other new options. The new designs are efficient, durable, and less susceptible to clogs.

A toilet’s style is partly affected by the way it’s built. You have a number of options from which to choose:


Two‑piece toilets have a separate water tank and bowl.

One‑piece toilets have a tank and bowl made of one seamless unit.

Elongated bowls are roughly 2" longer than regular bowls.

Elevated toilets have higher seats, generally 18", rather than the standard 15".

You have a choice of two basic types of flush mechanisms: gravity- and pressure-assisted.

Gravity‑assisted toilets allow water to rush down from an elevated tank into the toilet bowl. Federal law mandates that new toilets consume no more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush, less than half the volume used by older styles.

Pressure‑assisted toilets rely on either compressed air or water pumps to boost flushing power.

Some high‑end toilets are designed to get maximum pressure out of a small amount of water. Many employ narrower trapways (the path water travels through the bowl) in
conjunction with large-diameter flush valves. Some models use as little as 1.2 gallons of water. 

   

Dual‑flush systems feature two flush buttons on the top of the tank, allowing you to select either an 8-ounce flush for liquids or a 1.6-gallon flush for solids.


Two‑piece toilets with a separate tank and bowl are much more common than one-piece models, and usually a lot less costly. The cheapest models are compact with a seat that is
not as high above the floor as a full-size model. This can create access difficulty for some users. Round-bowl models usually cost less than models with a larger, elongated bowl.

 Pressure‑assisted toilets are relatively expensive, but they can reduce your water usage significantly by eliminating multiple flushes. The flush mechanism of a pressure-assisted toilet boosts the flushing power by using either compressed air or water pumps.
