The toilet is one of the most used and abused fixtures in the home today, yet it is still often overlooked within the bathroom remodeling phase. Choosing the right one or two piece toilets for your bathroom can make a big difference to you life thereafter, so choosing the right one is a good plan. It also pays to make sure that you can purchase style and color matching sinks, bidets and faucets when purchasing the toilet. If budget allows, purchase all of these at the same time.

Two Piece Toilet

Making the decision between a one-piece or two piece toilets (known as the close-coupled toilet) can be difficult, both have there advantages and limitations. These are really the two major sanitary designs in general use with the two-piece toilet being the cheaper version. The two-piece design is pretty simple. It has a seperate toilet tank and bowl, these are joined via the pipework you often see at the rear of a domestic toilet. One of the major advantages of the one-piece toilet unit is that cleaning is usually easier as they have plenty of room to work around and no tight gaps which are hard to access. They are often more expensive. The lower profile of the ceramic china one-piece toilet makes them a favorite furniture of bathroom designers due to their sleek looks and compact profile.

An important area to consider when buying two piece toilets or the one piece type is that of toilet seat shape and size. The two toilet bowl designs are round and elongated, these usually being around two inches longer than their round counterparts. The extra surface are makes the elongated variation a little more comfortable to sit on. If you have a small space, then the rounded toilet seat models will likely suit as they are a little more compact and take up less room. If space isn't an issue, elongated is the choice for comfort.

The Flush System

Gravity flush is the system most toilets employ. The water pressure i nthe tank force the water into the bowl and force waste into the discharge pipes. If you remember those old style toilets with the toilet tank on the wall mounted high above you, they used that extra height to increase the pressure that was discharged when the chain was pulled. The modern gravity flush toilet system is the most common by far and the least costly. Some toilet manufacturers employ a dual-flush system that helps with reducing water consumption. One uses the half flush for liquids and the full flush for toilet paper and other solid material.

Toilet Height

There are a number of differing heights available when purchasing a new toilet. For the older person, the extra height can come in very useful, and for the very young, the lower models are better.

Method of Attachment

Whether you choose one-piece or two piece toilets for your home, the method of attaching them into the bathroom will be dependent on the existing plumbing. Essentially there are two drain lines possible, a floor discharge or wall discharge system. With floor discharge, the waste line exits through the floor, and with a wall one, it obviously exits through the toilet wall and requires the use of wall mounted toilets.

The range of toilets for sale on the internet is massive and you'll always find what you need. Free shipping is now fairly common with online retailers like Amazon who have realised that consumers won't buy if there are large shipping costs. Amazon have a good range of two piece toilets, many on special offers, including Toto toilets with free shipping.

It would be wrong to suggest that the common toilet was the most glamorous bathroom accessory, but seeing as it is one of the most necessary, it certainly pays to choose carefully when purchasing. The decision now is whether a one piece or two piece toilet is for you.
