If you\u2019re considering getting a new bathroom, you\u2019ve got lots of decisions to make. One of these is what kind of toilet you\u2019re going to get. There are so many toilet types out there that picking the right one for you and your bathroom can be tricky.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re unsure about what toilet types are out there and which one to pick, you\u2019re in the right place. Read on to find out about 3 of the most popular toilet types around.<\/p>\n

1. Close-coupled toilets<\/h3>\n

This is one of the most common toilet types. Close-coupled toilets have a visible cistern that is attached to the toilet bowl. This is opposed to more old-fashioned toilets, where the cistern is positioned high up and connected only by a pipe to the toilet bowl.

\nA big advantage to close-coupled toilets is that they\u2019re compact. They can be a great choice if you have a small bathroom because they can fit into spaces that older toilet types can\u2019t. They come in lots of different styles with both handle and button flushes, so you can pick a style that suits you. They\u2019re also available in a range of prices and are fairly simple to install.<\/p>\n

2. Back-to-wall toilets<\/h3>\n

A back-to-wall toilet is another option. This is where the toilet bowl sits on the floor and against the wall and the cistern is hidden within the wall. Any pipes are concealed along with the cistern, which can usually be accessed through a flush plate if it requires any maintenance.

\nOut of all the toilet types you can get, the back-to-wall toilet is another great space-saving solution. It takes up even less space than the close-coupled toilet, making it great for en suites and cloakrooms. Its neat, compact style means it particularly suits modern, minimalist bathrooms.<\/p>\n

3. Wall-hung toilets<\/h3>\n

Wall-hung toilets look similar to back-to-wall toilets \u2013 they also usually have a concealed cistern. However, unlike other toilet types they don\u2019t sit on the floor and are instead mounted on the wall. This means that they require a strong mounting frame, which is also concealed in the wall.

\nLike close-coupled and back-to-wall toilets, wall-hung toilets are great if you\u2019ve got limited space. Plus, because they don\u2019t touch the floor they can make your bathroom look bigger than it really is. They can look very stylish and are perfect for modern bathrooms.<\/p>\n

As well as looking great, wall-hung toilets are one of the most practical toilet types. They\u2019re really easy to clean and you can choose to install them at the height that suits you. They\u2019re a great choice if you want to adapt your bathroom for people with reduced mobility but don\u2019t want to compromise on style.<\/p>\n
