No doubt, the bathroom is one of the most popular rooms in every house. Nowadays there are two or more toilets in homes. And bathroom additions are now being rated as one of the most cost-effective and comfort-enhancing home improvements, especially to one bathroom homes. For some time the bathroom was intended for quick and simple convenience factors. In the past the bathroom seemed to be a room only for convenience. But nowadays this is the place for homeowners to handle routine grooming and express their decorating flair. The tub, toilet and sink are still standard for most bathrooms. However, today's bathrooms are also featuring larger, more lavishing tubs, extra-large stand-alone showers, double sinks and fashionable toilets.
The popular trend among most design-conscious homeowners is to color-coordinated plumbing fixtures into a shared style. Many plumbing-fixture manufacturers refer it as "suites." The suite consists of a group of fixtures that contain a design element that is common to all of the rest. The base of the toilet, for example, may share the same design as the pedestal supporting a lavatory. The shapes, style, layout, and color of fixtures are also tampered with and coordinated in order to make the bathroom appear less cluttered and more appealing.
Nevertheless, the toilet is considered to be the most popular of bathroom fixtures. This is because it ties all the other elements together. There are different kinds of toilets. Relying on your personal needs and budget, you can pay less than $100 or more than a $1000 for a toilet.
Variety of Toilets
• Two Piece Toilets. This is a tank, mounted high on the wall above the toilet, and a bowl bolted to the floor.
• Closed Coupled Freestanding Toilet. It is a two piece toilet where the tank rests snugly upon the bowl.
• One Piece Toilets. Here the tank and the bowl are united. Having an elaborate flush mechanism that produces a more quiet flush, they typically sport a lower profile.
• Round Bowl Toilet. This type is standard and less expensive.
• Elongated Bowl Toilet. Two to three inches longer than the round bowl and creates an oval-like shape. This kind of toilet is more expensive than a round bowl toilet.
• Wall-hung Toilet. The main characteristic of this type is that it attaches to a metal plate that is affixed to the wall framing. It is rarely used toilet and is more expensive.
Moreover, you have to think over the height of the bowl. And this is the distance from the floor to the top of the toilet bowl. Plumbing-fixture manufacturers demonstrate that lower bowl height can be difficult and unsafe for people with back and leg problems or other physical ailments. And some manufacturers label their products as "elderly" or "handicapped". In this way they design these products to suit the needs of those who require a higher toilet bowl height.
