Toilets come in various types and designs to suit different needs, spaces, and preferences. Here’s a list of common types of toilets along with brief descriptions:
Two-Piece Toilet:
Comprising a separate tank and bowl that are bolted together during installation, two-piece toilets are common in many households. They’re relatively easy to install and repair.
One-Piece Toilet:
These toilets have a seamless and compact design with the tank and bowl fused into a single unit. One-piece toilets are often easier to clean due to their fewer crevices compared to two-piece toilets.
Wall-Mounted Toilet:
Mounted on the wall rather than the floor, these toilets have a tank system hidden within the wall. They save space and offer a modern, sleek look. The installation requires a sturdy support system within the wall.
Smart/High-Tech Toilet:
Equipped with various technological features such as heated seats, bidet functions, self-cleaning capabilities, automatic flushing, air dryers, and more. Some smart toilets may also have features like music, ambient lighting, and touchless operation.
Corner Toilet:
Designed to fit into corners, these toilets are space-efficient and can be a great option for smaller bathrooms.
Composting Toilet:
These eco-friendly toilets break down waste into compost through natural processes. They are often used in off-grid locations, cabins, and eco-friendly homes.
Dual Flush Toilet:
Offering two flushing options (typically a low-volume flush for liquid waste and a higher-volume flush for solid waste), these toilets are designed to conserve water, promoting water efficiency.
Pressure-Assist Toilet:
These toilets use compressed air within a tank to provide additional flushing pressure. They’re known for powerful flushes, suitable for high-traffic or commercial settings.
Portable Toilet:
Usually used for outdoor events, camping, or construction sites, these toilets are self-contained and can be moved from one place to another.
Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment:
Instead of a full bidet unit, these seats can be added to an existing toilet, providing bidet functionalities like posterior wash, feminine wash, and adjustable water temperature.
Rimless Toilet:
This design eliminates the traditional rim where water flows, making it easier to clean and reducing the risk of bacteria buildup.
Raised Height Toilet:
Taller than standard toilets, these are designed for individuals with mobility issues or the elderly to make sitting down and standing up more accessible.
Low-Flow Toilet:
These toilets are specifically designed to use minimal water per flush, promoting water conservation without compromising on performance.
