Premium Toilets For Your Bathroom

The plain, white porcelain toilet has long been the standard of bathrooms in the U.S. However, there has been a larger demand for toilets which fulfill a purpose beyond the purely functional. Many of these new models offer high technology, along with aesthetic features which are creating a new standard in the bathroom throne. If you are thinking of remodeling your bathroom, maybe its time to upgrade to the hottest trends in new toilets.

The Bidet

While Americans are not as comfortable with the bidet as our European counterparts, they are making quite the splash in homes across the U.S. A bidet offers an enhanced cleansing experience for users, usually paired with a traditional toilet in the same room.

High-Tech Toilets

Especially in many of the Asian countries, high-tech toilets are all the rage. Although they are slowly making their way into American homes, you are more likely to experience one of these toilets on a trip to Japan than at your neighbor’s home. These toilets are programmable, with heating features, sound options and bidet function, all in one toilet with a remote control.

Fancy Toilets

On top of the bidet and high-tech options, there are toilets which are designed to look like works of art. There are solid gold toilets, sculptured options, toilets built into furniture and even toilets with aquariums in their tanks. If you are tired of the plain, white toilet, there are many options to set your bathroom apart.

When you are ready to upgrade to a new toilet, talk to your local plumbing company about what options are available. From adding a bidet to your bathroom to a computerized toilet, your plumber can help make your bathroom the most amazing one on your block!

Improve Efficiency With a New Toilet

Would you flush money down your toilet? Of course not, but If your toilet was installed prior to 1994 chances are your water bill is much higher than it should be. Older toilets typically use 1.6 gallons of water per flush. Consider replacing your toilet with a newer more efficient model to lower this amount. Today’s standards, set by the EPA, require toilets to use no more than 1.3 gallons of water per flush. This can translate into less environmental impact on your community and lower water bills for your household.

Purchasing and installing a new toilet doesn’t need to be a difficult and time consuming bathroom remodeling headache. In fact, your local plumber is always happy to coordinate the delivery and installation of a new toilet, leaving you free to do other things. For those looking for a Saturday project to do themselves, simply go to a store that sells plumbing supplies and equipment. Any salesperson will be pleased to ensure that you get the toilet of your choice and the necessary tools for the job.

There are a few things to consider when choosing a new toilet for your bathroom. The most important factor is fit. Be sure to select a model that matches the shape and dimensions of your current toilet. Use a tape measure to determine the size of your toilet needing replacement and the dimensions of your bathroom. Bring these figures with you to the store or relay them to your plumber. You do not want to bring home a new toilet just to find out that it will not fit in your cozy space.

You will also need to make sure you have all the required tools and parts. The easiest route is to buy a total toilet kit, which includes both the toilet bowl and water tank, bolts, and wax ring all together. Any reputable toilet manufacturer will include detailed installation instructions with your new toilet, but a professional installation by a plumber will give you added assurance.
