It can be a very daunting task to purchase a toilet bowl and the price differences can seem like a real stretch. You should be aware of the different options and features that are available when purchasing a toilet bowl for your bathroom design Singapore. To start off, there are the general features you want to consider. Some of these features include: size, color, material, design, and warranty. The next step in choosing a toilet bowl is deciding which type of toilet you will be installing it on. This will include the shape, height, and depth. Some of the most common toilet types include: pedestal, wall mounted, and under sink. You will want to make sure that you pick the right toilet for the bathroom you want to install it in. 

The next step after this is to decide if you would like a toilet with a seat or a pedestal. A toilet with a seat usually costs a little more than one without, but the seat may add functionality that you would otherwise not have with a pedestal toilet. You should also consider the toilet bowl’s features.

Types Of Toilet Bowls

The market is filled with various varieties of toilet bowls. The following are the most typical in Singapore:

Close-coupled/two-piece 

Close-coupled toilets have two separate units—the toilet bowl and tank—that are connected by connections.

One-piece 

The toilet tank and bowl are one seamless piece. These are favored because they are simple to clean.

Back-to-wall 

These describe toilet bowls with backs that are firmly fastened to the wall.

Wall-hung 

The bowl of this toilet is suspended above the ground. wants to be hung securely and needs an additional wall frame support. 

Wall-faced 

This particular toilet bowl is mounted against the floor and wall.

Wall-hung toilet bowls are a clear choice if you want a bathroom that is simple to clean because they don’t touch the floor and don’t have any hidden crevices.

Trap Type

When we refer to a trap or trapway, we are referring to the curved component at the base of the toilet bowl that directs toilet waste into the drainage pipe. Additionally, it stops sewer gas from rising into your bathroom.

In Singapore, S-traps and P-traps are the two primary forms of traps. Most HDB residents utilize an S-trap toilet bowl that attaches to the floor since most HDB flats have the drainage outlet on the floor. P-trap toilet bowls, also known as wall-hung toilet bowls, are connected to the wall’s drainage outlet. Technically, you could utilize an S-trap with a wall-hung toilet bowl if you installed a concealed cistern and found a plumber prepared to put in the extra effort. So, sure, it is possible to get a toilet bowl that is wall-hung if you live in a HDB.

Water Efficiency

Choose a toilet bowl with a larger number of ticks, which are based on PUB’s Water Efficiency Labeling and Standard (WELS) scheme, to help reduce the amount of water used in your home.

	Good (✔)	Very Good (✔✔)	Excellent (✔✔✔)
Flushing Cisterns (per flush)	4 to 4.5 litres (full flush)	3.5 to 4 litres (full flush)	3.5 litres or less (full flush)
2.5 to 3 litres (reduced flush)	2.5 to 3 litres (reduced flush)	2.5 litres or less (reduced flush)

In Singapore, there are a variety of flushing systems, with the straightforward single flush being the most popular. You can choose between a full flush and a partial flush with dual flush tanks, which can help you conserve some water.

The typical gravity flush system, which uses water pressure and gravity to pull waste into the trap, is included with the majority of toilet bowls. There are toilet bowls with pressure assisted flush systems if you desire a stronger flush to clean your bowl more thoroughly without wasting extra water. These use pressurized air to propel water into the bowl quickly when flushing (placed in an inner tank within the water tank). A word of caution: pressure assisted flush toilet bowls typically cost more and might be noisy during flushing due to the high pressure.

Comfort And Cleaning

If you are purchasing a toilet bowl in a real store, don’t be afraid to sit down on it to check the height of the WC, as well as the size and shape of the bowl. If you suffer from knee problems or if you have older family members, you might want to choose a higher bowl height.

Test the bowl’s size and shape by feeling it. There are toilet bowls that are lengthened so that you can rest your thighs while seated. A smaller toilet bowl, however, can be a preferable option if your bathroom is confined. Make sure the toilet bowl design Singapore is likewise simple to clean. Avoid using toilets with too many crevices since they might collect dust and filth. 

Measurements

To make sure your new toilet bowl will fit, measure the distance from the center of the drainage outlet on the floor to the wall if your drainage outlet is on the floor (S-trap). 

Measure the distance between the center of the drainage outlet on the wall and the floor if your drainage outlet is on the wall (P-trap). When you remove your current toilet bowl and reveal the drainage exit, measurements may be made quickly and accurately.
