Types of Toilets: Compare Toilet Styles and Installations

There are several different types of toilets, and the main difference between them is how the toilet pan is installed and where the cistern is positioned. Common toilet types include close coupled, back to wall and wall hung toilets, alongside specialist options such as comfort height, short projection and compact cloakroom toilets.

Use this guide to compare toilet installation types before choosing the most suitable option for your bathroom. If you are ready to browse the complete range rather than compare individual styles, visit our All Toilets collection.

Close Coupled Toilets

A close coupled toilet has the cistern positioned directly behind and above the toilet pan, creating a conventional floor-standing WC installation. Because the pan and cistern are designed to work together, this is one of the most familiar toilet configurations used in UK bathrooms.

Choose this style if you prefer a visible cistern and a traditional installation layout. Browse our Close Coupled Toilets to compare available designs.

Back to Wall Toilets

A back to wall toilet uses a floor-standing pan positioned against the wall or a WC furniture unit, while the cistern is concealed from view. This creates a cleaner appearance around the toilet compared with a conventional close coupled setup.

The concealed cistern may be housed inside bathroom furniture or within a suitable wall structure. Browse our Back to Wall Toilets, or compare compatible WC Units for furniture-based installations.

Wall Hung Toilets

A wall hung toilet has the pan mounted above the floor and supported by a concealed installation frame. The cistern is hidden within the wall or supporting structure, leaving the floor underneath the toilet clear.

This type is often chosen for contemporary bathrooms where a more minimal appearance is preferred. Browse our Wall Hung Toilets and compare the required Concealed Cisterns & Frames.

Comfort Height and Raised Height Toilets

A comfort height toilet has a higher seating position than a standard-height WC. These are also commonly described as raised height toilets, high seat toilets or tall toilets.

This category can include different installation formats, including close coupled and back to wall designs. Browse our Comfort Height Toilets if seat height is one of your main buying criteria.

Short Projection and Cloakroom Toilets

A short projection toilet is designed with reduced front-to-back depth, helping preserve floor space where room dimensions are restricted. These toilets are especially relevant for compact bathrooms, cloakrooms and en-suites.

Browse our Short Projection Toilets for reduced-depth models, or see our Cloakroom Toilets for toilet options specifically suited to smaller WC spaces.

2-in-1 Toilets and Toilet-Basin Combinations

A 2-in-1 toilet combines a toilet and basin within one compact arrangement. These designs are typically considered where space is limited and both a toilet and hand-washing facility need to fit within a small room.
