When choosing a toilet, you should look for what fits your needs best. Be careful though, many new toilets have fancy features you don\u2019t necessarily need. Below, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/tureksplumbing.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fox Valley plumbers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> share a few things you should consider when choosing a<\/span><b> new toilet<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Who will be using the toilet?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is such an important factor because the height and shape of the toilet will contribute to the household\u2019s comfort when using it. If you have little kids sharing\/using the toilet most of the time, perhaps it\u2019s best to go for something that\u2019s not too high and is a bit narrow. There\u2019s always the danger of them falling in with larger bathroom toilets. Our friends at Gilmore Heating, Air, and Plumbing, who provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gilmoreair.com\/plumbing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sacramento plumbing services<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, says it\u2019s a common mistake for homeowners to choose a toilet that is too low to the ground. Try to find a toilet that is average-sized.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How\u2019s the flush power?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need a strong flush, especially if the bathroom is located on the higher level of the house. Flush power is indicated on the product packaging (which is why it\u2019s often displayed as well in stores) and the scale of power is from 1-10.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How big is the bathroom?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of the bathroom has to be considered as well. According to the interior design experts that Fox Valley and Applegate, Wisconsin residents trust, while elongated toilet bowls feel more comfortable, a round bowl may be the better choice for a small bathroom. Elongated toilet bowls measure up to 31\u2033 from the wall; on the other hand, round fixtures max out at 28\u2033. That means they save more space, and not only that, round bowls cost less, too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the style you prefer?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are four styles to choose from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Two-piece toilets \u2013 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most common type. The tank and bowl are separate and it\u2019s easy to find replacement parts for this style of toilet bowl.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>One-piece toilets<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 The tank and bowl are built together. It\u2019s more expensive but it saves space and it\u2019s much easier to clean.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wall-mounted toilets \u2013<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This, needless to say, is mounted to a wall and doesn\u2019t require a toilet foot or base. This is ideal for people who have mobility issues. It\u2019s also more expensive to buy and install and a thick wall is required for mounting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Water-saving toilets <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 These are very popular and they come in different designs, but they don\u2019t use more than 1.6 gallons of water for every flush.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Add-Ons Do You Want?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toilets can come with built-in bidets and seat warmers. There are those with lids that close on their own. See which of these you need or want in a bathroom toilet bowl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right toilet is always the one that can meet your requirements.
