Pretty sure it's a 70, just to the left of yet another project:

That's not as tidy as your last pic suggested, ;)

I'd butter it up with silkabond both sides and bingo it'll be bombproof.

Too late, someone's taken your crown!

 

Seriously, "both sides"? Surely just between back of the pan and face of tiles?

A serious question....at what height should a toilet be set at? And is that height to top of porcelain or top of seat you sit on?

 

Is it Part M?

Just been checking the height of our toilets in the new house as they look a bit low. We followed the installation instructions on the Gerberit frame and added the build up for the floor finish. So I measured the height of our current toilet to the top not including the seat and it is 40cm.  Checked the ones in the new house and they are just over at 41/42cm. So this seems standard unless you've got very long legs then you can set the Gerberit a bit higher!B|

Trying to plan ahead for when I have to wheel myself in and slide off sideways onto the loo.

 

Hence making the doorway wide and open wet room area.....they can just wheel me in and hose me down.

I tend to put the seat level at 425mm. When I demonstrate the slightly higher ( referred to as 'comfort' ) height most older customers say it's much more forgiving. 

I would choose the 420mm option every day, regardless, and don't like a low toilet. 

Kids can use the chuck-away 'pee step' when their little legs don't reach, but...... "a loo is for life, not just for Xmas"

So top of closed plastic SEAT to finished floor at 425mm NOT closed plastic LID. Ta.

Our pedestal toilet in the bungalow is 440mm to the top of the seat so I used that height for the wall hung toilets in the new house.

Thanks all.

 

Just called into the local PlumbCenter on the off chance (had to go to the motor factors) looking at 110mm solvent weld. Silly prices even on their own brand. Seemingly if I had an account I could get 50% off. WTF? They were very helpful but I came out.
