Whether you’re working with a plumbing contractor to do a total bathroom remodel or just making minor home improvements, you might be considering getting new toilets. Use this opportunity to upgrade to models that provide greater functional and  aesthetic value. The following guide will help you make the right choice for your home.

What Should You Look for in New Toilets?

Energy Efficiency

The average toilet uses more water than required to move waste materials into the septic system. Low-flush toilets, on the other hand, are designed to conserve water by using the minimum amount necessary for each flush. Some models even have separate flush settings that can be customized for liquid and solid wastes. Along with saving money on your monthly utility bills, you’ll also be doing your part for the environment by reducing the amount of wastewater you produce. 

Special Features

Modern toilets are available with a wide variety of special features that make them more comfortable and convenient. Self-cleaning models keep the bowl fresh and fragrant with a simple touch of a button. Others have an antimicrobial finish that prevents bacteria and mold growth. Ask your plumbing contractor about other popular features, like heated seats, air dryers, and automatic lids. 

Compelling Design

You’ll need to consider how your new toilets will look and fit into the space. Two-piece toilets, with separate tanks and bowls, are the standard, but one-piece models are often sleeker and easier to clean. Wall mounted and elongated toilets add a touch of elegance and sophistication, while compact round-frame toilets are ideal for small spaces, such as powder rooms and half-baths. Ask your plumbing contractor for advice about what would work nicely in the space as well.
