Those in the market for a new toilet should not be expecting many big technical breakthroughs or improvements in the design.  Although there were some improvements the basic design of the can has stayed surprisingly the same since it was first introduced.  One of the new things is the wide range of colors and designs that are now available.  You can custom order a wide selection of colors if the standard white is not to your liking.   

Before you start to remove your old toilet you want to have a new one ready to go in.  To help choose a new toilet that fits correctly you’ll need to measure the space from the wall behind the toilet to the center of one of the nearest bolts.  You should also measure the space from the center of the mounting holes to the back of the new toilet you are brooding about buying.  If the base of the new toilet is shorter than the space between your old toilet and the wall then it shouldn’t have a problem fitting.  If you’ve a tiny rest room you will need to take measurements of the sides of the toilet as well to make sure you have the correct clearance.   

You can purchase toilets as either one piece or 2 piece units.  One pieces toilets are one unified piece.  This makes cleaning less complicated and gets rid of the need to worry about leaks between the tank and the bowl.  With a two piece toilet the take and bowl are separate.  2 piece designs are often less expensive than one piece models.  Many toilets sold these days will not include a seat.  You will need to choose a seat which fits the john and blends in well with the remainder of the dcor in the room.  Seats come in several different kinds and styles including plastic, wood, wood composition, and cushioned vinyl.  Find the best toilets here.
