Toilet Buying Guide: Back to Wall, Wall Hung and Smart Options

Compare toilet formats and check set-out, water inlet and cleaning requirements.

Check the set-out first

• The set-out is the distance from wall or floor to the waste connection.
• Toilet choice should start with plumbing compatibility, not only appearance.
• Ask your plumber to confirm whether an adapter or different pan is needed.

Compare common styles

• Back to wall toilets hide the trap area and make floor cleaning easier.
• Wall hung toilets create a clean modern look but need in-wall support and cistern planning.
• Close coupled suites can suit straightforward replacements when plumbing lines up.

Think about comfort and care

• Check pan height, seat shape, soft-close seat and rim design.
• Smart or bidet-style options may need power, water pressure and installation checks.
• Confirm WELS information and warranty before ordering.
