mises the ability to sit, the comfort height or tall toilet may be your best choice although the style options are a bit more limited. Bidet toilet seats have become more popular lately and would be an additional help after surgery. They can be installed on any toilet although some require an electrical outlet. Another positive change in toilets is in the flushing technology. Today's toilets are much more thorough in the flush as well as in water usage. Although it's not easy to navigate what would be the right toilet choice for you, here's a list of features to consider: * Round or Elongated * One piece or Two piece * Standard height, Comfort height or Tall * Style - Traditional, Transitional or Modern * Flushing - Everyone is concerned with a good flush and thanks to technology it has greatly improved. Most toilets are 1.6 or 1.28 gallons per flush. □ There is a pressurized flush that is similar to commercial bathrooms that for some is the best option. However, it is very loud and not widely used in residential bathrooms. □ Gravity flush has improved by having a glazed trap that forces water as it flushes. Larger flappers or cylinder type allow more water to flush faster. Some toilets use a swirling flush technology to keep the bowl cleaner. * Intelligent Toilets - A toilet that is intuitive with the ability to program personally. They feature heated seats, warm air dryers and nightlights, as well as a handsfree experience with the ability to sync with a Bluetooth. * Toilet Seats - Seats come in a variety of choices. A slow-close seat (no banging) with the capability to be removed for cleaning is a great help. * Bidet Toilet Seats - With the toilet paper shortage this past year, bidet toilet seats have become quite popular. With bidet seats there are basic seats and then some with all the bells and whistles. Some have remote control while others have the controls right on the seat. Over the years toilet style and function have really expanded with many options from which to choose. There is a model for everyone's needs and more. It is a personal choice that we are glad to help you decide. Come in to our showroom and talk to any of our salespersons.
