The toilet bowl in a Singapore home may be a basic necessity but choosing the right one should be far from basic. A TOTO toilet bowl is an ideal addition to any home, especially for those who want to elevate their bathroom experience and daily routine.
If you are looking to upgrade your bathroom but don’t know how to pick out the right toilet, this blog discusses key factors that can help you out.
Factors to Consider for Choosing the Ideal Toilet Bowl
Just like picking any furniture in your home, the toilet bowl deserves a high level of scrutiny. More so because this piece of sanitary ware is more permanent than others. Consider the following factors:
Style
These days, bathrooms need to be more than just functional. It is one of the most frequented rooms in your house, usually where you start and end your day before heading out or retiring to bed.
When it comes to style, having a cohesive bathroom is a must. Whether you are going for a mid-century or contemporary look, all fittings and fixtures should match or complement each other. If you want to play it safe, you can’t go wrong with a classic toilet bowl such as the TOTO C889DESI One Piece Toilet Bowl. This standing toilet bowl has a stylish yet flexible design, making it easy to match with different bathroom interiors.
Installation Type
If you already have an existing bathroom, you also need to consider the installation type of your toilet bowl. Having a limited floor space, it might help to opt for a wall-hung toilet, which doesn’t have a base and the tank is hidden.
Consider the TOTO CW812RJT2 LE MUSE Wall Hung Toilet Bowl with Invisible Fixing Kit. This modern and minimalist toilet bowl is hung on the wall so there are no obstructions on the floor. Thanks to a hidden tank, you can enjoy a sleek and minimalist aesthetic.
Comfort and Convenience
When it comes to comfort, check the shape of the rim and the seat of the toilet. Some have a circular shape while others have a square or oval one.
Consider an elongated seat such as this TOTO CW822NJ AVANTE Wall Hung Toilet Bowl. It’s comfortable to sit on without compromising on design. It also comes with a sleek-skirted base and a concealed trap way for easy cleaning. What’s more, it has a soft-closing seat and cover.
Special features
Finally, don’t forget to consider the special features of your toilet bowl. Think about the tiny details that may not mean much at first glance but can provide you with better hygiene and relief every day.
The TOTO C769ESI / TCF23410ASG Close Coupled Toilet Bowl with Washlet C2 has a dual-flush system so you can use less water for minimal waste. This toilet bowl also comes with a washlet for improved cleansing.
TOTO Toilet and Washlet Features
Not all toilet bowls are built the same and the TOTO brand is a testament to that. This Japanese brand is one of the best when it comes to sanitary ware. TOTO toilets have excellent designs geared toward superior sanitation and hygiene as well as water saving.
The TOTO CW822RJT2 / TCF24410ASG AVANTE Wall Hung Toilet Bowl with Washlet C5 is an excellent example of what the TOTO brand can offer you.
Below are some of the defining features of this model:
Toilet Features:
TORNADO FLUSH
This powerful flush does it all, it creates a strong whirlpool to cleanse the bowl all the while using less water and making less noise than traditional toilets.
CEFIONTECT
Toilet bowls are usually made of porcelain and TOTO improves this with an ultra-smooth ceramic glaze known as Cefiontect. With microscopic surface ridges, there’s no place for waste to stick to.
RIMLESS DESIGN
Cleaning a TOTO toilet is easier thanks to its rimless design. It does not have any hard-to-reach areas along its top edge.
WATER-SAVING
The structure of the tank is designed in a way that less water is used up every time you flush.
Washlet Features
PREMIST
Before every use, water is automatically sprayed on the inner toilet bowl’s surface. Less dirt is likely to stick to moist ceramic.
EWATER+
You don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the nozzle that comes out of the washlet. With EWATER+ technology, the nozzle is kept clean with a sanitising effect that also prevents bacterial growth.
DEODORIZER
No disturbing odours are left behind as the automatic and powerful deodoriser activates after every use.
WARM AIR DRYING
Feel clean and dry with the dryer built into the C5 washlet; drying comes after cleansing and the heat can be adjusted according to your preference.
HEATED SEAT
Another way TOTO technology thinks about your comfort is with their heated seat. The temperature is adjustable and can be turned off completely when it is warm.
AUTO OPEN/CLOSE LID
With a built-in motion sensor, the toilet lid will automatically open and close when a user approaches or departs. This eliminates the need to touch the toilet’s surface.
