What's the Best Toilet for My House?
Picking a new toilet might not be the most glamorous of home tasks, but it’s an important one. There’s many factors to consider, including the size of your bathroom, cost and how efficient they are. Factors to consider:
Cost
There is a saying that you get what you pay for, and the same can be said when it comes to choosing a toilet for your home. Sure you may be thinking that it’s a serviceable and functional item in your home, and as long as it does the job then that's fine, but there are a few aspects to consider. You can get relatively cheap contractor specials or options on sale which could be suitable for your home. But you also need to factor in that with a cheaper toilet, it could mean a less powerful flush, and other parts within the toilet being cheap. Which may mean repairs and replacement sooner than you would expect. The cost element isn’t just about the best toilets but also has other factors to consider such as the installation, and thinking about the long-term maintenance. Paying for a more expensive toilet could mean you get better quality, which may mean less maintenance costs overall.
Size of toilet for the space you have
You should also think about the size of the toilet when it comes to your home. You will need to think about the space you have and what option could be more suitable. There are a few different options that could help you to make a decision and decide on which toilet is right for you. For example, you can get a wall hanging toilet which could be a space saver and make the bathroom or WC appear more minimalist. You also need to factor in the toilet bowl size as not all of them are the same. Last of all, when measuring up for a toilet make sure you take into account the rough-in which is the center of the toilet to the wall for fitting purposes.
Height of toilet
Not all toilets are the same size. We have already mentioned that there can be different bowl sizes and you can also factor in the pipework as well, but the height of the toilet can be different as well. You could consider a taller toilet if you have issues with disability, for example, to make life a little easier. Toilets that comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act have a higher bowl height of 17-19 inches versus the standard 15 inches. A higher bowl can make it more comfortable for taller and older people as well as those with disabilities and weaknesses. However you will also need to remember that having a taller toilet could make it difficult for children to use it.
Efficiency
Finally, you might want to consider efficiency if you are installing and investing in a new toilet and a great way to help your home be more economical is to choose a toilet with a dual flush system. This means that you can use less water and power for certain flushes and a more powerful flush only when it is needed.
