Buying a toilet: what to pay attention to

Reading Time: 3 minutes

A toilet is essential in every home. Many houses have two WCs and some even three! Buying a toilet seems easy, but there are several things to keep in mind. We will tell you all about it in this article. Curious? Read on!

Back to wall or wall-hung?

The most striking feature that you will directly see, is whether you have a wall-hung or a back to wall toilet. Nowadays, it is more and more common to have a wall-hung model. It ensures that the room appears optically larger. In addition, it is easier to clean the space under the WC. Another advantage is that you can determine the height of it yourself. Perfect for people who are taller!

To hang the WC, you will need a concealed cistern. This is a built-in construction with a cistern. The concealed cistern will ensure that the WC doesn’t fall down because of its heavy weight. Moreover, it ensures that all pipes and drains are hiden behind the wall. Only the flush plate will be visible.

Shape of the toilet

You may have never really noticed, but there are many different types of WCs. The shape can differ: round, semi-circular or rectangular. When you are buying one, you can choose between a classic or sleek model. It is important to find out which one you find the most comfortable. This will differ among various shapes. In addition, the flush plate can vary a lot. Always have a look at the type of cistern. Not all flush plates fit with them.

Fortunately, we have a wide range of flush plates on our site. We offer standard plates where you have to press the buttons yourself, or a luxury control panel with infrared technology, which allows you to fast forward with one sweep to the panel.

Buying the right toilet seat

Not every seat fits every WC. You must therefore pay attention when buying one. Usually, the seat is not included when buying a WC. However, in most cases, our site refers to a matching toilet seat, so you don’t make a wrong choice. We offer different types that have an extra comfortable function. For example, the SoftClose toilet seat, which falls down slowly, so that you are not startled by the hard blow.
