Choosing the right toilet is an essential part of any bathroom, so it pays to get it right. Don’t worry, though, we’re here to help you make the best choice for your bathroom, whether you’re after a traditional close coupled toilet, a wall hung toilet or the latest rimless toilet bowls.

Close Coupled Toilets

Close coupled toilets are the most popular toilets in the UK and suit both contemporary and traditional bathrooms. Made up of separate pan and cistern pieces, many come with a traditional lever handle or dual flush buttons. They’re also easy to install and available in a number of different styles, so you’re sure to find something you love.

A practical, stylish solution for any bathroom, closed back toilets can hide unsightly pipe work with their neat and tidy look. And because they fit flush against the wall, they’re easier to clean and prevent grime build up. Though, they’ll only fit if your pipe work comes straight out of the wall or down through the floor.
