Ensure You Utilise the Best Toilet and Bidet for Your Family’s Needs
During your bathroom remodelling project, you will want to find the perfect fixtures to fit your families’ needs. You may ask yourself, “Is there really that much to think about when choosing new fixtures and fittings for my new bathroom?” The answer is yes. When it comes down to selecting even the simplest items as your toilet, you will want to consider the size, comfort, height, style, and how well it functions.
You may find elongated toilet bowls to be much more comfortable; however, if you have a smaller bathroom, you may want to consider purchasing a round bowl in order to save space. Elongated toilet bowls measure up to 31″ from the wall, whereas round bowls measure at 28″. Comfort is also an important factor when choosing a toilet for your newly remodelled bathroom. Many manufacturers offer toilets that measure a few inches taller than standard 14″ fixtures. The taller people in your family will appreciate a taller throne when they need to use the toilet. However, if you live in a home of shorter people, taller toilets may not be the best option. Consider all residents before making this important decision.
You must also think about the style that is best for you. The two-piece toilet, in which the tank bolts on top of the toilet bowl, is generally less expensive than the one-piece model. The one-piece toilet, which is a combined tank and bowl in one fixture, may be a little more expensive, but are easier to clean. This is due to the fact that they have no seam. Wall-mounted toilets are great because cleaning underneath the toilet is a breeze. While they are more expensive to install, it is definitely something worth researching.
Also, remember to consider the type of toilet you use. Gravity flush toilets are the most popular type of toilets because they use the water weight to generate flushing pressure, and thus save electricity. This pressure forces everything from the tank into the bowl and through the S-shaped trap way. A siphoning action then completes the flush.
Improved design results in many excellent performing fixtures which create little or no noise and require little maintenance. Pressure-assisted toilets tend to be louder and more expensive than gravity toilets, but they do have a reputation for great performance. These toilets have a vessel in the tank that forces water into the bowl quickly when flushed, reducing the chance for clogs.
Vacuum-assisted toilets are very similar to gravity flush toilets. However, vacuum-assisted toilets create a vacuum to help pull waste through the bowl, whereas gravity- flush use the force of gravity alone. Dual-flush toilets have two buttons for flushing. One is for solid waste, and the other is for liquid waste. The liquid waste button uses less water than the solid waste button.
Water is the best way to clean just about anything. We use it to wash our bodies because it’s effective, comfortable and leaves us feeling refreshed. In fact, it’s hard to imagine washing without it. You certainly wouldn’t use dry paper to clean your face or a dirty dish. Yet, when we go to the toilet we use dry paper to clean the most sensitive areas of our body. In truth, toilet paper is abrasive, unsanitary and just plain ineffective.
Bidets change all that. As you sit in comfort, warm or cool water provides a gentle and soothing cleansing action, leaving you feeling shower fresh at the push of a button. And its hygienic benefits can be enjoyed by anyone: male or female, from children to the elderly.
The various settings on them can be adjusted to suit your personal needs. Regardless of your circumstances, the ease, comfort, and hygienic qualities they will play an integral part in promoting a healthy lifestyle.
