Browse Forums Building A New House Re: JG King modified Heywood - toilet dilemma 456Mar 22, 2017 4:31 pm I wish I had thought this much about my toilet, I just went with builder's standard.. hope I like it!!! I think go for comfort. The only thought I have about toilets is I don't want any areas on the outside where dust can go... our current toilet is very round, and has screws.. that gunk gets into. Re: JG King modified Heywood - toilet dilemma 457Mar 22, 2017 6:37 pm I think you'd have to go with the one you can sit on over the easier to clean one unfortunately lol Re: JG King modified Heywood - toilet dilemma 458Mar 22, 2017 9:58 pm We upgraded to 'back to wall' toilets, and the trades botched the installation of all of them. We were left with about a 20mm gap behind - would have been impossible to clean and looked ridiculous. We suggested tiling the wall up to the top of the cistern as a compromise and expeditious solution; instead tiler, plasterer, painter, and plumber all had to re-work the fitting. Was months after handover before they some of them were corrected. I never thought I'd need to tell the builder/plumber how toilets are supposed to be installed. Re: JG King modified Heywood - toilet dilemma 459Mar 23, 2017 6:38 am We are getting the porcher and I thought it was nice. It's a back-to-wall and has got soft close lids and concealed water inlet. The later I had never seen before until I notice the plumbing rough in had placed the toilet water stops basically inside where the cistern will be. Re: JG King modified Heywood - toilet dilemma 460Mar 23, 2017 8:38 am The porcher is ok but compared to what we had originally and to all the others at Reece it just doesn't float my boat . To my eyes it's the ugly duckling of the back to wall toilets, I like clean, straight lines! I have asked for a price on the Caroma, it was comfortable except for the height issue which can be fixed with a step for that once a day when you need your feet flat on the floor, it was great for hubby's height. They are also checking on the availability of the AXA Uno which we believe is the standard allure upgrade option but they didn't have it on display at Reece. I'm sure there is one in the colour room that we can go see again. It's a nice looking toilet, and it's 10mm lower than the cygnet but it is more expensive (retail prices) than the Caroma which seems silly when the Caroma is a much more advanced toilet. I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
