Toilet Types: Which One Is Right for You?
1. Floor-standing toilets (classic and compact)
These are the most traditional and versatile models. They are installed directly on the floor and usually include a visible cistern. Ideal for those looking for a simple, functional, and easy-to-install option .
✔ Recommended example:
🔹 The ROCA The Gap model offers a compact and elegant option for small bathrooms, without compromising design or comfort.
2. Suspended toilets
This type of toilet is fixed directly to the wall, leaving the floor completely free. They facilitate cleaning and create a sense of visual spaciousness , while also providing a modern and sophisticated style .
✔ Recommended example:
🔹 The Fossil Natura Suspended line combines minimalist design , matte finishes and silent flush systems .
3. One-piece toilets (monobloc or integrated cistern)
They are characterized by integrating the toilet bowl and cistern into a single structure, which improves aesthetics and simplifies installation . They usually take up less space and feature a more fluid and modern design.
✔ Recommended example:
🔹 Models like the Nashi Compact Monobloc are ideal for those looking for functionality and design in a single product.
4. Ecological or low-consumption toilets
These models feature dual or optimized flushing to significantly reduce water consumption . An excellent option for those seeking sustainability without sacrificing design.
✔ Recommended example:
🔹 The Unisan Advance Eco range offers dual-flush solutions (3/6 liters) , with reliable and modern mechanisms.
Keys to choosing the perfect toilet
- Available space: Measure the depth and width of the bath, and the distance to the drain (standard: 18-23 cm).
- Drain type: Can be vertical or horizontal. Avoid unnecessary renovations.
- Seat height: between 40 and 43 cm; taller models are available for older people or those with reduced mobility.
- Bathroom style: straight for modern, rounded for classic, or minimalist for pure design.
- Lid closure: always opt for the soft-close system (cushioned closure).
- Material and finish: Vitrified porcelain is standard, but there are variants with antibacterial treatments .
🔧 Practical installation tips
- If you're renovating, consider a wall-hung toilet : it requires a concealed cistern, but offers great aesthetics.
- For installations without construction work, opt for monoblocks or compacts .
- Check that the water and drain inlets match the chosen model.
- We always recommend professional installation to ensure safety and durability.
