Frequently asked questions
Here, you can find answers to common questions about traditional toilets.
What is the difference between a low level and a high level toilet?
A low level toilet features a cistern positioned just above the pan with a short flush pipe, while a high level toilet has the cistern mounted higher on the wall with a longer flush pipe and pull-chain operation, offering a more traditional appearance.
Are traditional toilets suitable for modern homes?
Yes. Traditional low- and high-level toilets work beautifully in both period properties and modern homes seeking a classic, character-rich design, combining heritage styling with modern performance standards.
Do high level toilets use a pull chain?
Most high level toilets feature a traditional pull-chain flush, enhancing their authentic appearance. Some designs also offer alternative flushing options for added convenience.
Are traditional toilets water efficient?
Modern traditional toilets are designed with water efficiency in mind and often include dual-flush mechanisms, helping to reduce water usage while maintaining reliable flushing performance.
Are low and high level toilets difficult to install?
Installation is straightforward when carried out by a professional. Due to the wall-mounted cistern and exposed pipework, careful positioning is required to achieve the correct height and visual balance.
Can traditional toilets be customised with different finishes?
