Before we begin there are 5 things to consider when buying a toilet:
1. Rough-in
2. Height
3. Shape
4. Color
5. New Technologies
Always know your rough-in before getting the new toilet. This is the measurement from the closet flange bolts to the wall (not the baseboard).
Height is personal preference, but if you can test the height at the store that's a good thing.
Shape is easy. Most of the time your choices are round or elongated. Round is good for tight bathrooms...by that I mean small.
Color is again a personal preference. I recommend having the toilet match the vanity and tub.
Technologies have changed with toilets. In today's tutorial we install the VorMax toilet which has better cleaning action than a traditional throne (had to throw in a little funniness).
