Behind The Wall (Concealed) Toilets
For a minimalist, compact look a behind the wall suite (also known as in-wall or concealed) are popular. The great thing about these toilets are they feature a hidden cistern, either in the wall, in a roof cavity or under a counter, meaning less space is taken up in your bathroom. You can also choose from a range of quality buttons to suit your style and if you are worried about the future serviceability, don’t be, they have been engineered to access everything a plumber needs from the button panel.

Wall Faced Toilets
These are quite distinct because the rear of the pan is flush against the wall, which creates a seal that is much easier to keep clean as nothing can get stuck behind the suite. They also feature universal trap fittings, to suit either S Trap or P Trap plumbing pipes. By far the most common and the most popular toilets sold in Australia today

Close Coupled Toilets
This describes a suite where the cistern bolts directly to the pan, creating a nice seal and appearance. These are usually completely made of vitreous China, so they will last longer than some plastic cistern connector alternatives. These include both wall face and non wall faced designs.

Connector or Linked Toilet Suites
These connector suites are perfect for odd plumbing configurations that can often be found in older homes, or if you are looking for a cheap replacement. There is a visible pipe going between the cistern and the pan, which is often covered by a connector piece to give it a “close coupled” look. Although its popularity has somewhat diminished, you can still get a plastic cistern with a vitreous China pan to really save some money on your bathroom renovation

Rimless toilets are toilets without a rim where the water traditionally flows in a regular toilet. A rimless toilet has a flushing system where the water shoots towards the edge and around the toilet bowl, leaving none of the inside missed, instead of flushing down like a regular toilet.

Where a traditional toilet would flush downwards from around the rim, a rimless toilet uses a flushing system that shoots water towards and around the edges of your toilet at a specific pressure designed to clean your bowl without any potential splashing.

Rimless toilets make cleaning a breeze with an open rim that no longer features a lip-like rim, typical of more traditional toilets. This type of rim is more hygienic as germs are unable to sit around the rim and be missed when cleaning. A rimless toilet uses a powerful and efficient flushing system that will effectively remove waste and keep your toilet looking cleaner.

You can tell whether your toilets are porcelain or ceramic by looking at its edge. Ceramic toilets usually have a glaze on top of the surface. While porcelain can be glazed, it’s usually not.
