Round front toilets are compact to fit in small spaces. Elongated toilets have extra room in the front for added comfort.

 

A "one-piece" toilet is actually six to ten individual pieces sculpted into a seamless unit. The result is a sleek, hand-crafted toilet with no crevices between the tank and bowl to collect dirt and odors. "Two-piece" toilets require a separate tank and bowl which are bolted together upon installation.

 

There are two basic types of toilet flushing systems; both types save water by using 1.6 gallons of water per flush. Gravity-fed flush toilets use the force of gravity and a siphon "pull-through" action to empty the bowl.
 

Pressure-assisted toilets harness pressure from the water supply in the home to create a powerful "push-through" flush. All waste is removed quickly in about four seconds. Pressure-assisted toilets are slightly louder and there is no condensation or "sweating" on the outer tank.
