Frequently Asked Questions about Toilets
Toilet Types
There are 5 types of toilets to choose from: One-Piece Toilets, Two-Piece Toilets, Wall-Hung Toilets, Back-to-Wall Toilets, and Smart Toilets.
- One-Piece Toilets: Seamless design where the bowl and tank are integrated. Easier to clean, looks modern, and avoids crevices where gunk hides. Best for anyone who wants a sleek look and minimal maintenance.
- Two-Piece Toilets: Classic setup, with a separate tank and bowl. Usually more affordable and easier to install or replace parts. A solid choice if cost or repairs are a concern.
- Wall-Hung Toilets: Wall-mounted with the tank hidden behind the wall. Maximizes floor space, gives a clean aesthetic, and makes floor cleaning a breeze. Ideal for small baths or minimalist design.
- Back-to-Wall Toilets: Tank or cistern concealed in a unit or vanity. Saves space and hides pipes, while keeping installation simpler than wall-hung. Great if you want neat lines without full wall cavity work.
- Smart Toilets: No visible tank; water connects directly to the bowl with a hidden system. Ultra-modern look, compact, and often has battery backup for flush. Good for contemporary or tight spaces.
Technical Toilet Details
Look for key specs that matter:
- Rough-in size: Must match your plumbing layout.
- Outlet type: Some bathrooms are designed for toilets with bottom or floor outlets, while others may need a toilet with a wall outlet.
- Toilet footprint: Measures the area where the outline of the toilet meets the floor. To find your toilet footprint, measure the size on the base of the toilet you are replacing.
Comfort & Design
- Bowl Shape: Elongated bowls offer more seating space and comfort; square or round shapes can suit compact designs.
- Bowl height: Comfort height (17–19") makes sitting/standing easier—especially useful for taller people or those with mobility issues. Standard height (15–17") works for general use.
- Trapway style: Skirted trapways hide the curve of the pipe, giving a smoother look and easier cleaning.
- Seat features: Soft-close and quick-release seats mean no slammed lids and easier cleaning.
- Flush Plate: Used for back-to-wall and wall mounted toilet styles. If you’re looking at a wall-mounted toilet style, you may need to purchase a flush plate separately. We offer many beautiful styles.
- Tankless / Smart Flush: Advanced systems with remote, sensor, or automatic flush options—great for hands-free convenience.
Flush Types & Mechanisms
- Single Flush vs Dual Flush: Single flush has just one flush option, controlled by a handle, so the same amount of water is used with every flush. Dual flush has two buttons: light flush for liquids and full flush for solids, saving water without compromising performance.
- Flushing Technology: Visit our complete toilet guide to learn the differences between our advanced flush technology options.
Bidets
Swiss Madison offers 4 general bidet options:
- Classic Bidets: Separate fixture, traditional style. Works best if you have enough floor space.
- Bidet Attachments: Affordable, installs under an existing seat. Basic cleaning with manual pressure control.
- Smart Seat Bidets: Heated water, dryer, and remote or side-panel control. Convenient upgrade without replacing the toilet.
- Toilets with Built-In Bidets: All-in-one smart toilets with wash, drying, and extra features like night lights or auto flush. Most premium option.
Other Toilet Features
- Quick-Release Seats: Quieter and easier cleaning.
- Soft-Close Seats: Closes your toilet seat quietly, without a bang or slam.
- Pre-Wash / Night Lights: Some smart models rinse before use, and night lights help in low light.
- Adjustable Spray & Dryers: In smart toilets, you can customize spray pressure, temperature, and drying for comfort.
- Touchless Flush: Flush with a wave of a hand!
