What A Conventional Toilet Looks Like

Understanding conventional toilets can be difficult, but it's not as complicated as you may think. 

The two major components are: 

1. A toilet pan is where one sits when using the restroom 
2. A cistern stores water needed for flushing after someone uses the toilet

Different Types of Toilets:

1) In-Wall Cistern Toilets

An in-wall cistern toilet is an excellent option for those looking to save space in the restroom. In this type, the toilet pan may be mounted on either the wall or floor. It has a button plate on the front that allows you to access the cistern for maintenance.

The installation work for this type may require more effort, but this type may end up as the cheaper option. While this type may seem expensive for many, the in-wall cistern toilet is surprisingly more affordable than the usual back-to-wall toilets. 

Aside from the fact that it is a popular choice among the public, repairs for this type of toilet can be done easily and have been proven to require less maintenance. But the tricky side of it is that major repairs (which are inevitable) are costly. Of course, that's the thing about toilets, they wear and tear over time. 

In wall cistern toilet pans can be either wall-hung or floor mounted. 

Among the most popular types are wall-hung toilets. This type has become an absolute necessity for modern toilet suites in Australian homes over the years. They appear classy, and elegant- just the perfect words to describe this type of toilet. 

On top of that, they will get you to save a lot of floor space, and make the bathroom look more spacious than you have imagined. These toilets are wall-mounted and elevated off the ground. 

While this type requires planning before installation, it is definitely a perfect choice for people with disabilities and they are a dream to clean in comparison to other options. 

Alternatively you pan can be floor mounted which still saves space with the cistern and working parts hidden in the wall. 

2) Back-To-Wall Toilets

Another type of toilet is one that is quite expensive but is easy to install and maintain. When it comes to the back-to-wall toilet, there is no gap left behind the pan to the wall. The pan sits right against a bathroom's surface with an attractive finish according to your design preferences. 

This type has been proven easier to clean and maintain than other options available because the structure itself leaves no dust forming behind the pan. This can reduce the cleaning time required as well.

3) Link Toilets

These are the toilet we all likely grew up with. The toilet bowl and cistern are connected by a flush pipe, allowing the water to evacuate from the cistern into the bowl through the use of a flush button placed on top of the cistern. 

There are lots of styles to choose from and are a cost effective option.

Important Requisites And Factors To Consider

Before making a purchase decision, checking out the types of toilets and considering the measurement requirements such as their height, projection, and set-out, are the key to choosing the best toilet that would suit your home and toilet needs. 

Among other things to consider when purchasing a toilet for your home include:

1. the ease of cleaning
2. plumbing needs
3. toilet seat that has to be soft-closing
4. the home’s structural requirements
5. water-saving features that would comply with the standards that all toilets sold in Australia have WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards Scheme) star rating.
