Which Type of Toilet Is Best? A Quick Guide for Ghanaian Homes

Wall-Hung Toilets

A wall-hung WC is a modern toilet design where the bowl is mounted on the wall, and the cistern is concealed behind it. This style creates a sleek, minimalist look while making floor cleaning easier. It’s a great choice for contemporary bathrooms, offering both space-saving benefits and a touch of luxury.

• Modern, space-saving, and easy to clean under
• Best for minimalist and high-end bathroom designs

Close-Coupled Toilets

A close-coupled toilet features the cistern mounted directly on the back of the toilet bowl, forming a single compact unit. It’s one of the most common and easy-to-install designs, offering reliable performance and a clean, streamlined look for both modern and traditional bathrooms.

• Traditional design with cistern attached to bowl
• Cost-effective and easy to install, perfect for most Ghanaian homes

One-Piece Toilets

A one-piece toilet is a sleek design where the tank and bowl are molded into a single unit. This seamless style offers a modern look, is easier to clean, and often more durable due to fewer joints and parts. It’s a great choice for those seeking both style and simplicity in their bathroom.

• Sleek and hygienic with fewer crevices
• Ideal for stylish, low-maintenance bathrooms

Comfort-Height Toilets

Comfort height WCs are designed with a taller seat, typically about 17 to 19 inches from the floor, making it easier to sit down and stand up. Ideal for the elderly, taller individuals, or anyone with mobility challenges, they offer improved comfort and accessibility without compromising on style.

• Taller seat height, easier on the knees and back
• Great for seniors or users with mobility challenges

Dual Flush Toilets

A dual flush WC features two flush options, one for liquid waste and another for solid waste, helping you save water with every flush. It’s an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice that supports sustainable bathroom design without sacrificing performance.

• Always test the flush before purchase, not all systems are equal!
