TOILETS

A GUIDE TO SELECTING YOUR TOILET

Toilet type is defined by how many pieces make up the toilet – one or two – and how the toilet is installed – on the floor or on the wall. The majority of toilets installed in the U.S. are two-piece toilets that are mounted on the floor, but smart toilets, which are often tankless, are becoming increasingly popular these days.

TWO-PIECE TOILETS

This is the most common type of toilet installed in residential settings, and it offers great value. A separate tank and bowl are assembled together to create the full toilet. Two-piece toilets occasionally require a separately sold seat.

ONE-PIECE TOILETS

A one-piece toilet is a single piece of ceramic, so the bowl and tank are integrated. This eliminates the seam between the bowl and tank, making it easier to keep clean. One-piece toilets typically come with a seat.

WALL-HUNG TOILETS

Ideal for bathrooms with a limited footprint, a wall-hung toilet features a sleek, easyto-clean design. With a hidden in-wall tank, only the bowl and flush plate are mounted to the wall, resulting in a streamlined profile that saves up to 12” of space over floormount models and simplifies cleaning.

INTELLIGENT TOILETS

From heated seats and warm-water cleansing to automated flushing and customizable settings, intelligent toilets help redefine one of life’s most basic rituals.

BIDET SEATS

Bring the freshness and convenience of personal cleansing to your existing toilet with a bidet toilet seat. These split the water supply between your toilet and your bidet seat so you can experience warm water cleansing and other bidet features.

A GUIDE TO SELECTING YOUR BATH TILE

Tile helps tie all of the design elements in your bathroom together. As such, it should be picked out first to ensure everything else matches. Much of your tile decision comes down to the color, style, and look you are going for, but there are a few factors that make some tile varieties better for use in bathrooms than others.

TILE FOR FULL BATHS

Bathrooms with a shower or tub are high moisture spaces. You’ll want to find slip-resistant tile for your shower floor and bathroom floor. You’ll also need to choose tile with low absorption rates for your floors, walls, and shower. It’s a good idea to run your tile choice by your designer and contractor to make sure it’ll work in your bathroom. Ceramic, porcelain, vinyl, glass, and certain varieties of natural stone tile all have low rates of water absorption. porcelain

TILE FOR HALF BATHS

If you are tiling a half bath (a bathroom with no shower or tub), then you do not have to worry as much about moisture. Since you don’t have a shower area to tile, you’ll only need to select tile for the floor and the walls if you would like them to be tiled. Half baths are great places to get creative with a cohesive design theme. Commonly used tile for half bathrooms include porcelain, glass, ceramic, most varieties

PREPARING FOR YOUR DESIGN APPOINTMENT

Once you’ve scheduled your appointment with a designer and secured a contractor, you’ll want to do a few things to prepare.

KNOW YOUR TIMELINE

When do you want to start and complete your full project by? Is it a strict or flexible schedule? What have you decided on as a realistic timeline with your contractor? It’s important to tell your designer this up front as lead times vary by product type and brand.

SET A BUDGET

Think of your budget as an investment. How much are you willing to invest in your project? Is it a strict or a flexible budget? Knowing your number up front, or at least having a rough estimate, will help your designer guide you to the product options that will work best for your project.

FIND INSPIRATION

It is helpful to come in with an idea of the different kinds of styles, materials, and aesthetics that you want in your kitchen, as well as an end goal for your project, like maximizing space or creating a kid friendly kitchen. Bring your inspiration photos with you!
