Types of Toilet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When upgrading your bathroom, you’ll come across several types of toilet suites, each offering different benefits and styles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Close-Coupled Toilet<\/strong>: This is a very common design where the cistern is directly mounted above the toilet bowl, creating a compact and streamlined unit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wall-Faced Toilet<\/strong>: This design features a concealed cistern, with the toilet sitting flush against the wall, which helps maximize space and enhances the bathroom’s aesthetic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Back to Wall Toilet<\/strong>: In this setup, both the toilet and the cistern are attached directly to the bathroom wall, creating a neat appearance with no visible piping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Wall-Hung Toilet<\/strong>: Similar to the wall faced toilet, but this version is mounted directly on the wall and elevated above the floor. It is the most stylish and typically the most expensive option, offering easy cleaning and a modern look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
