New bathroom loo choices

[FantaIsFine]

Hi,

I was originally recommended wall hung loo for cleaning, but then a rep [I think it was Homebase if at all relevant] said that he'd say back to wall better for pan support for overall kids climbing or any heavy loads but STILL better for cleaning.

It will have the main house traffic. It's mainly just me but with visitors of course.

I'm undecided. I've found one that has no trim and takes a standard wood seat. I don't think it's rimless though which I think I'd prefer.

And/or any opinion on replacement wood seats shaped for the round back to wall or wall hung shape, they seem to actually be available are they reasonably standard shape/size?

Also I can't work out if rimless is better or actually not as reviews seem divided

Any opinion will be gratefully heard!!! On any of all of
Back to wall vs wall hung
Standard nature of D shaped seats
Rimless vs not

TIA!!!

I have no idea why my posts randomly convert to gin bottles at odd places

My point was it was a homebase rep should that be at all relevant!

We have had two bathrooms and a downstairs loo fitted over the last couple of years. The bathroom fitter told us to avoid wall hung loos.

Back to wall for all of ours - that's personal preference though not due to potential cleaning issues.

We have wall hung for easier cleaning and had no issues. The fixings are designed to support the weight.

Wall hung is fine, but I didn't want the built in look. We went for this which is easy to clean and looks smart. Not sure about wooden seats though https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/grohe-euro-rimless-close-coupled-toilet-with-soft-close-seat-side-inlet?skwcid=AL!15853!3!!!!x!!&gaddsource=1&gbraid=0AAAAADSoLZWWFHAYp1naY0ljxWXXl2hZ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7Py4BhCbARIsAMMx--Jp01KG0PshO2H5O5TVTBklFp84Gx95ZJs2KTIuQGpQ-m1cnlqySyYaAjDYEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Ours look like that one @AuntieDolly
Cleaning isn't an issue.

I'm not a fan of rimless toilets. I feel I need a toilet rim to perch the toilet duck bottle under to guide my bleach squirt around without the bleach ending up squirting up the wall etc. Just go for a closed boxed toilet rim which makes it easy to cover all the germies up there with bleach. I'd also go with a back to wall toilet just for piece of mind and a traditional oval toilet rather than square as they are easier to clean I find. Oh and try and get one with as big a u-bend hole as possible. Those modern ones with the small u-bend hole are just a pain for skidders.

I was put off ever choosing wall-hung fittings when I worked in a brand new office building and within months the wall-hung toilets were wobbly and the sealant had pulled away from the wall etc. I know the wear and tear on a toilet in an office will be very different to at home, but when I'd come from a 60s building with it's 60s toilets looking old-fashioned but in perfect working order and the brand new ones started breaking and looking crap so quickly, it made me think there's no point fighting gravity!

We have just renovated what had been a derelict property, so had to get all new toilets/bathrooms etc.

We went for back to wall, rimless and comfort height for all of them.
Easy to clean the floor underneath and very easy to clean inside the bowl with no rim.
The comfort height looks the same, but is just slightly higher, making it much easier for anyone with knee/hip problems, older relatives and just more comfy for me in general! I now really notice the difference sitting on a low down toilet.

Can't comment on the seat shape, but definitely get soft close.

We had our bathroom redone recently and were advised go with a modern close coupled toilet. Our bathroom fitters said that hidden cisterns are great until they need any work doing to them. We did go for rimless, comfort height and soft close seat and lid. We are very happy with our decisions.

We'd always chose a close coupled (in fact, it's one of the things my DH looked for when viewing properties recently). He used to have a flat with a hidden cistern toilet. Looked beautiful and sleek (he lived there when we started dating, so I can confirm that it did look very modern and nice). However, the previous owners before him hadn't thought about the design too well, and so when it needed repairs, the plumber had to remove his bathroom tiles around the toilet to even be able to get to the cistern!
