OUR GUIDE TO COMMON TOILET TYPES AND FEATURES
Let’s face it, the toilets in your home likely get a fair amount of use, so among all the bathroom fixture you want to choose carefully, this is one of the more important. Here’s a look at some common toilet types and design options to help you choose the best model for your home.
ONE-PIECE TOILET：If you’re a fan of all-in-one fixtures, the one-piece toilet may be the perfect choice. The tank, bowl, and trapway are all included in a single piece of material which makes for fairly easy installation, maintenance, and cleaning.
They also have a more streamlined profile and can be more durable than other toilet types, like a two-piece toilet. While they may also be a bit more expensive, the single-piece design can make them a good option for smaller bathrooms or ones that simply have a tighter space allocated for the toilet.
TWO-PIECE TOILET：As the name suggests, these toilets come in two sections: the tank and the bowl. Installed together, they make up your completed toilet assembly. This type is the most common in the U.S. as they are very durable, relatively inexpensive, and the individual pieces can be replaced separately if one of them does happen to fail.
WALL-HUNG TOILET：If you’re after a minimalist toilet footprint or you have space restrictions, a wall-hung toilet may be a good option. The bowl is mounted on the wall while the tank is hidden inside the wall. A flash plate or panel is then affixed to the wall surface rather than to a tank-mounted handle.
SMART TOILETS：If luxury is your main driver, consider a smart toilet. Not only do they offer a range of functional features, they can also include several comfort enhancements over traditional models. From hands-free flushing to heated seats to self-cleaning tools, smart toilets are reshaping the bathroom experience.
BIDET AND BIDET TOILET SEAT：While not officially a toilet, bidets are becoming more popular in bathroom remodels. They can offer superior cleaning after using the toilet, and they provide a positive environmental impact by allowing users to cut down on toilet paper use. Of course, a bidet will require a bit of extra plumbing work and space for the additional appliance, which will all add to your cost.
