Modern Toilets for the Modern Family

Calabria Modern Toilet and Bidet

These days there is a lot more to choosing a toilet than just price and style.  Some things to consider are water conservation, function, size, shape, and cleanliness.  The purpose of this article is to help you in making your decision of which toilet is best for you and your family.

Low-Flow Toilets

Most modern toilets on the market in the U.S. today have 6 gallon tanks, required by law for water conservation. In order to meet the criteria as a “low-flow” toilet they must not use any more than 1.6 gallons of water per flush. This makes your choice for a modern toilet much more eco-friendly as well. Older toilets use a much less, “greener”, rate of 3.5 gallons per flush.

The Interior Gallery is taking that feature one step further with providing all of their toilets with a dual flush mechanism. Using a half flush as opposed to a full flush cuts down your water usage by half! Equaling out to a .8 gallon flush and also possibly cutting down your water bill too! The button style flushes will make flushing your toilet effortless!

All of The Interior Gallery's toilets are gravity fed toilets. That means that the weight of the water eliminates waste through the S-Trap plumbing with the help of the siphonic pressure the toilet creates as it empties the bowl.  This is opposed to a pressure assisted toilet which results in a much louder flush.

Small vs. Large

This decision should be based on the size of your bathroom space as well taking into consideration the size of the people who will be frequently using the toilets. Generally, a standard toilet size is around 15 inches from the tank to the end of the toilet. Other than that, the only variations to consider are seat size and height. This can make all the difference when it comes to comfort level.

Round, Oblong, or Squared?

If comfort plays a big part in making your decision, the shape of the seat becomes a very important factor.  Round toilets are usually the best choice when space saving is key.  Oblong seats may offer the most comfort, because they are less likely to cut off circulation to the legs. And lastly, square seats will give you a more unique and eye catching look since they are further from the classic old-style toilet design. The Interior Gallery toilets feature a soft close toilet seat as well. Gone are the days of hearing that toilet seat slam when closing.

Easy Clean Toilets

Easy clean does not mean self cleaning, but The Interior Gallery's toilets have a ceramic glaze with creates a non-stick surface for germs and grime. This can lengthen the stretch of time between cleaning. It is also helpful to keep the bowl cleaner by making the waste flush more seamlessly.

Unique Functions

Bidets do not perform the same function as a toilet, but still fall under the same category. Purchasing a matching bidet will provide an extra level of cleanliness and beauty to your bathroom retreat. These are especially popular in Europe and wealthy households. The Interior Gallery makes it affordable for you to have this luxury in your own home.
