Determine Your Best Option: Toilet Buying Guide

Toilet Type

Elongated: Typically two inches longer than a round bowl and the best choice for standard to large sized bathrooms. Many Adults prefer this style due to the extra comfort provided.

Round: Perfect for a smaller bathroom or powder room due to a more compact design.

One-Piece: Provides a smooth seamless look while enhancing the ease of routine cleaning. No hard to reach cracks for liquid to become trapped.

Two-Piece: Generally a cheaper option than one-piece toilets. Two distinct pieces allows for flexibility in repairs and an easy installation process.

Wall Mounted: Hides the water tank behind your wall for increased bathroom space and a modern look. Toilet bowls are elevated off the floor at an adjustable height.

Rough-In Measurement:

Don't forget to measure your rough-in, the distance between the wall at the back of the toilet and the center of the waste outlet in the floor. The standard distance is 12", but you may see 10" or 14" as well.

Other Features

Chair Height: Toilet seat is 17"-19" off the floor, compared to a typical 15"-17". This creates a more comfortable bathroom experience for most adults and is also an ADA requirement.

WaterSense Certified: Flush at 1.28 GPF (Gallons Per Flush) instead of the standard 1.6 GPF, but still with the necessary flushing power. Save up to 20% on water cost for the toilet, plus help conserve water!

Skirted Toilets: Concealed trapway creates a smooth look from bowl to ground and provides one cleaning surface to help speed up the process and keep you off your knees.
