209 Toilets

The toilet is a big part of your bathroom decor; it’s also a pretty technical concern - should the cistern be in the wall, coupled with the toilet pans, or connected with a short pipe to the toilet bowl? Even if this isn’t the first time you’re installing a toilet, the following steps will help narrow down your options. More

Which types of toilets are you after?


Toilet suites exist in a variety of styles:
  • The concealed toilet (with a hidden cistern),
  • the close coupled toilet (where the toilet and cistern are combined),
  • the wall facing toilet (with the back flush against the wall),
  • connected toilets (in which a pipe connects the pans and cistern), and
  • the standard toilet suites (with a visible pipe between the cistern and pan).

  • Kohler, Fowler, and Caroma toilets - amongst several other branded toilets - have options in each of these toilet styles.

    A toilet and cistern to match your needs


    As you browse through these toilet-cistern combinations on Houzz, you’ll be able to create a shortlist based on:
  • How committed you are to remodelling: The standard piped toilet suites are the easiest to install, while the concealed and coupled toilet suites take some renovating.
  • What kind of water efficiency you’re looking for: This is where you might choose a dual flush toilet or one that has water recycling functions.
  • How the toilet matches your decor: Sleek, ornate, colourful, muted - the sky’s the limit when it comes to which style you’re after.
  • What toilet specs are you looking for: Keep in mind that most toilets that sit away from the wall require more give than just the toilet seat’s measurements. Any cisterns - hidden or not - will also affect overall size. Be sure to discuss this with the contractor who’s installing your toilet as it will need a fair bit of technical expertise.

    To bidet or not to bidet


    When browsing bidets online, it’s safe to say that price, style and features are what should dictate final selection. As a rule of thumb, bidets should match the toilet and cistern layout and decor.

    Common bidet features include controllable water pressure and temperature (most will have electronic controls), multiple nozzles, dryer and heaters.

    With new styles of toilets and bidets entering the marketplace every year, brands like Caroma, Fowler, Bunnings, Stylus and Kohler are able to service pretty much all your needs and tastes. Houzz gives you a great platform for comparing all these brands - in one place - and before you know it, you’ll have that toilet installed and ready for use.
