Are you getting a new toilet for your home? Perhaps you’re replacing an older toilet in your house with a new one. In either case, it’ll be important to consider what the right height will be for it. Toilet heights can vary significantly, and the right height for your bathroom will vary based on the specific needs and preferences of the people in your home. Today, we’ll be looking into different toilet heights that you could consider for your house.
Standard Height
For a standard toilet, the height will range between 15 and 16 inches from the top of the seat down to the floor. This height is the most popular in homes, as it’s the height that is meant to work with the average user. We recommend standard toilet heights for families that have children and other people who like low seating positions.
Comfort Height
Comfort height toilets are just a little bit taller than your average height. These toilets, from the floor to the seat’s top, tend to be between 17 and 19 inches. If most of the people living in your home are adults, toilet heights such as these will likely be more suitable for your house. This is because less knee bending is needed when you either stand up or sit down.
These toilet heights are also more appropriate for people who have concerns with mobility. This is because sitting and standing become easier when less knee bending is required.
Tall Toilets
Another of the toilet heights you could consider is to install tall toilets in your house. We recommend these toilets for people who require extensive help when either standing up or sitting down to use them. Toilet heights will be above 19 inches from the top of the seat down to the floor.
You can also pair tall toilets with grab bars and raised seating, both of which can make these toilets more comfortable and safe. This makes tall toilets perfect for people who have physical limitations.
