“Choked again?” You’ll never have to utter these words when you’ve got one of the best toilet bowls in Singapore. With modern and contemporary styles available, there’s no need to compromise on aesthetics for proper plumbing. Read on to find out more about the best toilet bowls in Singapore to get started on your BTO renovations!
While they may look similar, there are different types of toilet bowls on the market. Here are some of the main ones to look out for when you’re shopping for the best toilet bowls in Singapore:
If you care about aesthetics, wall hung toilet bowls are for you. And that’s because the cistern, a tank that stores water for flushing, is hidden behind a panel or a wall along with the pipes. They’re usually suspended off the ground as well, which gives the toilet a more premium vibe.
This type of toilet bowl is one of the most common in Singapore. The cistern of close-coupled toilet bowls are usually flushed against the wall and away from the toilet pan. These toilet bowls are also great at concealing waste pipes, so it doesn’t compromise on your toilet’s aesthetic. Most of the time, close-coupled toilet bowls are cheaper than wall hung toilet bowls. And that’s extra savings when you plan for your BTO renovations – score!
Firstly, measure the amount of space you’d want to set aside for the toilet bowl. With that in mind,set a maximum size to narrow down your choices. It’s also a good idea to consult a professional regarding the toilet bowl’s size, especially when you’re going for the wall hung option as you may have to carve out extra wall space to make maintenance easier.
The trap is a device within the toilet bowl that allows waste to flow into the drainage pipe. Traps are usually either S-type or P-type. The S-trap is opted for when drainage outlets are on the floor. And P-traps are for when drainage outlets are situated on the wall. While most wall hung toilet bowls have a P-trap system, that doesn’t mean that you can’t go for them if your drainage outlet is on the floor. Simply look for one that has a S-trap system and employ a professional who can help with installation!
Not all of the best toilet bowls in Singapore are created equally. One way to distinguish the best from the rest is by looking at the Water Efficiency Labelling. The more ticks there are, the more efficient your toilet bowl’s water usage will be. Some toilet bowls also have dual flush tanks where you can go with a partial or full flush. This means that you’ll be able to save on your water bills in the long run!
Your toilet bowl is going to be with you for at least a decade or two. So it’s crucial to choose the best toilet bowl that’s easy to clean and maintain. For instance, rimless toilet bowls are always the better choice since there aren’t any nooks that can conceal build-up. This makes your regularly scheduled toilet cleaning a lot smoother too!
