The space-clearance offered by the corner toilets makes them the fitting fixtures for the remarkably downsized baths. The corner sinks and bowls meet all the stipulated building codes to your great relief. Besides, corner toilets add to the aesthetic value of the lavatories.

Corner Toilet Overview

In a time when houses are becoming small and bathrooms smaller, corner toilets are unmatched for their proper space utilization. Various types of space-saving corner sinks and bowls with standard flush capacities have now flooded the market:

• Corner tank toilets
• High tank toilets
• Tank less toilets
• Concealed tank toilets

All the above-mentioned corner toilet varieties are available in both the conventional floor-mounted as well wall-hung models. As regards toilet bowls, you can opt for the standard, round-front bowls or the elongated (ovals) bowls. Of course, with the round bowls you are more in line with the space optimization factor.

Features of Corner Toilets

Success with this style necessitates the right placement of the water-tank. Therefore, it is quite apt that they are named after the position (and presence) of the water tank. Thus the corner tank toilet has a tank cast in the shape of a right triangle fitted to a floor-mounted bowl. In the case of high tank toilets, the tank is raised to a level, which causes no unnecessary space blockage. The tank less toilet has no tank at all! With them, all flushing job is handled by a siphon jet. The concealed tank toilets are the best of the lot as far as optimal use of space is concerned. The tanks are either placed inside the walls or hung on the outer wall.

Corner Toilet Benefits

Though the designs vary, all these different corner toilet models are made and fitted in accordance to the governmental recommendations and building codes. In general, minimum clearance of 12 to 15 inches from the center of the fixture to either side (to a wall or cabinet) and that of 18 to 21 inches directly in front are maintained. This adherence to the general rule allows the corner toilet users to move about easily; it also lays bare more open space in the half-bath and creates enough room for other uses of the lavatory.
