Buying a new toilet might seem like a
simple proposition. However, you need to consider several important things,
when you go for shopping. You need to familiarize yourself with the recent
advances, which has made them more efficient, Eco-friendly and comfortable than
ever before. It is not necessary that a high price tag mean top performance.
Toilets have several moving parts and
they might break or wear out over a period. If the toilet won’t stop running, then
you can replace or repair the key toilet parts.
First, you need to make sure that the toilet fits into the space. Measure
the distance between the drainpipe and the wall behind it. The rough-in size is
12-in, but you may find 10-in or 14-in in old homes.
Models
Toilets are available in one piece or
two-piece models. The latter ones are less expensive. Although both function
similarly, when it comes to cleaning, one-piece models are easy to clean. You
need to purchase various installation parts such as closet bolts, bolt caps,
wax ring along with sleeve and toilet seat, if they are not included in the
package.
Toilet
Bowls:
These are available in elongated and
round shapes. Oval shaped bowls are generally longer than the latter by two
inches and they provide additional comfort too. Round bowls are perfect for
small spaces and are not expensive.
Toilet Seats
Toilets are available as separate
pieces and toilet seats are not included in it. Choose one that goes well with
the decor of the bathroom and the toilet color. Consider the following things
while choosing the seat:
·
The shape of the seat depends on the bowl shape i.e.,
elongated or round.
·
They are available in molded or real wood composition,
polypropylene, plastic or cushioned vinyl.
·
Slow-close seats are safe and quiet.
