A toilet installation is a big home project. After all, no bathroom is complete without a functioning toilet. It’s arguably the most vital feature of any bathroom, so the installation needs to go well. When getting a toilet installation done for your house, here’s what you’ll want to keep in mind.
Think About the Utility Bills
A lot of our water usage comes from the bathroom, and toilets contribute heavily to this water usage. When getting a toilet installation, you should consider the type of toilet you get. Older designs might have reduced efficiency, which can cause future water bills to spike. Instead, it might be in your best interest to invest in a more modern toilet. While a modern toilet might come with a higher upfront cost, the energy efficiency has strong long-term financial upside.
What Shape Do You Want for the Toilet Bowl?
There are two sorts of toilet bowl shapes that you could consider for your toilet installation: round-shaped or oval-shaped. Oval-shaped bowls are preferable in most situations because they meet a broader selection of plumbing needs. With that said, a round-shaped bowl might be the way to go if you don’t have a lot of space to install your new toilet.
Picking Your Ideal Seat Height
A standard toilet seat height will be around 14.5 inches. The best toilet seat height for your home, however, might be different, based on the people who are living at your house. Some seats can be 16 or 17 inches in height, sometimes even 19 inches, and these bigger heights are better for different groups of people. Bigger seat heights tend to be better-suited for taller individuals, or for those who have disabilities. Ultimately, you’ll need to consider the different needs of your family so that you can decide on a toilet seat height that works best for everyone.
