Toilets

Which toilet should I choose?

These days, toilets come in a variety of designs, with close coupled toilets, where the cistern and pan are coupled closely together, being the most common products in UK homes. These come in both contemporary and traditional styles to fit with your theme.

Back to wall toilets are a relatively modern introduction in UK homes and can be used to bring a sleek, sophisticated look to your bathroom space. These are combined with a concealed cistern, which can be hidden discreetly behind a false wall or housed within a back to wall furniture unit to fit seamlessly with the rest of your bathroom furniture. This often makes better use of space, allowing you to store items neatly on the surface above the unit.

Contemporary, designer toilets

For a real contemporary or designer look, many homeowners are opting for wall hung toilets, to give that chic appearance, that wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel. Using a wall mounting frame and concealed cistern, the toilet is suspended above the floor so it appears to be floating. With no cistern on display and just a flush button on the wall, the wall mounted toilet option is one that offers a sleek, beautiful, minimalist appearance.

Traditional toilet options

For a more traditional, timeless appearance, a high level cistern toilet is a classic design, complete with chain pull flush and a flush pipe connecting the cistern (or tank), with its ornate brackets, and the toilet bowl itself. The little brother to this is the low level cistern toilet. Again, this is a classic design, where the cistern and toilet pan are connected with a much shorter flush pipe.

Traditional toilets tend to come with a flush handle and a high volume flush, whereas contemporary or modern toilets usually have dual eco flushes, allowing you to save water by choosing a short flush for liquid waste and a longer flush for solid matter.

Space-saving toilets for small bathrooms

From the tiniest of ensuites to the most compact of WCs or cloakrooms, at Victoria Plum you’ll find a small toilet that’ll make optimum use of the space you have available.

One great space-saving tips is to turn corners to your advantage, with our range of corner toilets designed for just that purpose.

Why not check out our online store for short projection toilets too? With slimline cisterns and shorter bowls, they are perfect for compact spaces.

Lifting the lid on toilet seats

Toilet seats come in a variety of shapes, designs, colours and materials to meet your needs. Many are made from hardwearing acrylic or plastic materials, making them lightweight, easy to use, warm to the touch and highly resistant to stains and scratches.

Of course, there isn’t a one size fits all, so you need to make sure the shape and size of your seat matches your toilet, but you’ll find many come with adjustable fixings to make life easier. As well as this, look out for lift off hinges which make cleaning a breeze and soft close hinges, which allow the seat and lid to lower slowly, helping avoid trapped fingers, eliminating excessive noise and reducing wear and tear.

For a traditional look, why not choose a wooden toilet? Available in common wood finishes like oak and pine, you can also get painted colours to complement your chosen palette or décor.

Quality toilets you can trust

Far from “bog standard”, all our toilets undergo strict quality control measures to test for cracks or defects during the manufacturing process. Made from high quality ceramic for exceptional durability, our toilets are given a hand-polished deep glaze that, again, is checked to ensure it is flawless. This surface is very resistant to stains, scratches and is easy to clean, making your toilet maintenance simple.

All flush mechanisms are expertly manufactured, designed to be durable and work efficiently, helping you save water. Most of our toilets come with reassuring extended guarantees meaning your peace of mind is assured.
