Toilet Design
Look at the profile and details alongside the other fittings in the room. Compare the product dimensions even when replacing something with a similar appearance. Close-coupled toilets have a visible cistern above the pan. Back-to-wall designs conceal the cistern behind the pan, while wall-hung models leave the floor clear beneath it. A shorter pan or a corner cistern can make a difference where the door opens close to the toilet.
Fit & Projection
Measure from the finished wall to the front of the pan and check the clearance left for the door and for getting on and off the seat. When replacing a toilet, compare the soil outlet direction and water inlet position with your existing connections. Use the model drawing to check where the water inlet sits.
Flush & Seat
Rimless pans give you easier access around the bowl edge, dual-flush controls offer two flush volumes and soft-close hinges slow the seat as it lowers. Read the individual listing for the seat, cistern, frame and flush plate, as the parts required depend on the design. For replacement seats, check the fixing centres as well as the pan shape.
