Why Choose Traditional Toilets?
Traditional, old-fashioned toilets are more than just functional fixtures—they are statement pieces that add character and sophistication to your bathroom. Here’s why our traditional toilets are an excellent choice for your home:
Classic Design
Traditional toilets are characterised by their elegant, timeless designs. From high-level cisterns with pull chains to ornate detailing on the pan and seat, these toilets bring the beauty of vintage style to your bathroom.
High-Quality Materials
Our traditional toilets are crafted from durable, high-quality materials such as vitreous china and solid brass. These materials not only enhance the visual appeal but also ensure long-lasting durability and ease of maintenance.
Modern Comfort
While traditional in appearance, our vintage toilets are equipped with modern features such as efficient flush mechanisms, soft-close seats, and water-saving technology. This ensures you enjoy the comfort and convenience of modern amenities while maintaining a classic look.
Versatile Installation Options
Whether you prefer a high-level cistern for a more authentic vintage feel, a close-coupled toilet for a streamlined appearance, or a back-to-wall design for a clean, unobtrusive look, our collection offers a variety of installation options to suit your bathroom layout.
Wide Range of Finishes
Available in a variety of finishes, including white, ivory, and gloss black, our traditional toilets can easily complement your bathroom’s existing decor. Paired with matching fixtures and fittings, these toilets create a cohesive, stylish look that stands the test of time.
Explore Our Range of Traditional Toilets
Our collection of traditional toilets offers a variety of designs and configurations, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your bathroom. Here are some standout options:
High-Level Cistern Toilets
For a truly authentic vintage look, our high-level cistern toilets feature a raised cistern connected to the pan by an exposed flush pipe. These toilets are iconic in their design, offering a dramatic and elegant focal point for any bathroom.
Low-Level Cistern Toilets
These toilets offer the charm of traditional design with a slightly more modern twist. The cistern is mounted lower on the wall, closer to the pan, providing a classic look while saving space.
Close-Coupled Toilets
A popular choice for those who want the vintage look with modern functionality, close coupled traditional toilets feature a cistern that sits directly on top of the pan. This design is both stylish and practical, making it a versatile option for various bathroom sizes.
Back-to-Wall Traditional Toilets
For a clean, seamless look, our back-to-wall traditional toilets offer the best of both worlds. The pan sits flush against the wall, concealing the plumbing and creating a streamlined appearance, while still featuring traditional design elements.
Ornate Detailing and Accessories
To complete the look, many of our traditional toilets come with ornate detailing such as decorative brackets, flush handles, and matching toilet seats. These elements add a touch of luxury and authenticity to your bathroom design.
How Traditional Toilets Can Transform Your Bathroom
Incorporating traditional toilets into your bathroom design can significantly enhance both the aesthetic and character of the space. Here’s how our old-fashioned toilets can make a difference:
Add Character and Charm
Traditional toilets bring a sense of history and elegance to your bathroom, adding character and charm that modern designs often lack. The intricate details and classic lines create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Create a Focal Point
A beautifully designed vintage toilet can serve as a focal point in your bathroom, drawing the eye and setting the tone for the entire space. Whether paired with classic fixtures or used as a standalone statement piece, these toilets elevate your bathroom’s decor.
Enhance Comfort and Usability
Despite their classic appearance, our traditional toilets are designed with modern comfort in mind. Features like soft-close seats, efficient flushing systems, and ergonomic designs ensure that these toilets are as comfortable and easy to use as they are beautiful.
Increase Home Value
Installing high-quality traditional toilets can enhance the value of your home, particularly if you’re restoring a period property or creating a bathroom with a timeless aesthetic. These toilets are not only functional but also add to the overall appeal and desirability of your home.
Versatility in Design
Traditional toilets are incredibly versatile, complementing a wide range of interior styles from Victorian and Edwardian to modern classic. Whether you’re creating a full period-style bathroom or blending old with new, these toilets provide the perfect balance.
Choosing the Right Traditional Toilet for Your Bathroom
When selecting a traditional toilet, it’s important to consider both the design and functionality to ensure it meets your specific needs. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect vintage toilet:
Match Your Bathroom Decor
Choose a toilet that complements the overall style of your bathroom. Whether you prefer the dramatic look of a high-level cistern or the sleek appearance of a back-to-wall model, ensure the toilet fits seamlessly into your decor.
Consider Space Constraints
Measure your bathroom carefully to determine the best type of traditional toilet for your space. High-level and low-level cistern toilets are ideal for larger bathrooms, while close-coupled and back-to-wall models are better suited for smaller spaces.
Opt for Quality Materials
Look for toilets made from durable materials like vitreous china or ceramic, which are easy to clean and resistant to wear. Quality materials ensure that your traditional toilet will maintain its beauty and functionality for years to come.
Check for Modern Features
While the design may be vintage, the functionality should be modern. Look for features like dual flush systems, soft-close seats, and easy-to-clean surfaces to ensure your toilet meets today’s standards of comfort and efficiency.
Waste Trap Type
Most are available in an S trap or P trap configuration, allowing you to choose from a range of quality designs that have been engineered for Australian standards and designed for any bathroom renovation.
Water Inlet Type
Most are available with a bottom inlet as that is the most common installation for these toilets. Bottom Inlet (BI) enters into the bottom of the cistern usually via a flexible hose or moulded copper pipe, where a Back Entry (BE) inlet is hidden at the top rear of the cistern.
