Toilet Types, Bidets and Water Saving Explained

How one-piece and two-piece toilets, comfort height, bowl shapes, bidet seats and water-saving designs differ and what to check before buying.

A toilet is a simple purchase with many small choices. One-piece or two-piece, round or elongated bowl, standard or comfort height, with or without a bidet seat. Homeowners in Nashville who replace toilets in a remodel often want better flushing, easier cleaning and lower water use, without a lot of fuss.

One-piece toilets clean easily and cost more to move, two-piece models are easier to carry and install. Elongated bowls are comfortable, and round bowls save space. Comfort height eases sitting and standing. Bidet seats need an outlet and a water line. Water-saving models can flush well when chosen carefully. We measure the rough-in and the space before you buy.
