An essential aspect of any bathroom remodeling project,
toilets come in assorted shapes, styles, and colors. Regardless
of style – from vintage pull-chain to a mod euro design –
a toilet is still basically a toilet; each has similar space requirements.
Varieties include:
- Standard / traditional toilets – usually
a basic white porcelain bowl with flush tank and chrome or plastic
flush handle. Prices start at under $200 to just over $400.
- Eco-friendly, European style dual-flush toilets
– that hook up to standard American-style plumbing; requiring
no modifications. Prices can range from $400 to $800.
- Designer toilets – such as a one-piece
design in black porcelain. Prices range from $400 to over $5,000
for stainless steel combo units; novelty-type designer toilets
with an elaborate wooden high-backed “throne” can
be acquired for around $9800.
- Bidet toilets – that offer hot and cold
water “washing up” features range in price from just
under $400 to well over $1200.
- Totally-unique natural stone toilets –
including honey, ruby, and green onyx; black granite, limestone,
and marble. Some come with ornately carved marble or other stone
water casings, with silver or gold-leaf seats and/or flush handles
can cost well over $50000. The sky is the limit!
Add on accessories like heated toilet seats or a washlet/bidet
seat can range from just under $400 to over $700.
