Onoff Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetE Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence making the doorway wide and open wet room area.....they can just wheel me in and hose me down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 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......

Gone West Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
