Back to Wall Suites (BTW)
As the name implies the toilet sits flush to the wall, due to no gaps between the wall and toilet BTW suites are easy to clean. Modern in design these styles of toilets are very popular for bathroom renovations and new installs.
If the walls are not tiled above the level of the toilet suite, BTW suites in most circumstances will require tiles to be removed to enable the toilet be flush to the wall.
Close Coupled Suites
The pan and cistern are joined together so you can’t see the flush pipe. These toilets only come in S-Trap installs where the pipe comes out of the ground, and the pipe must be in the exact location or within 20mm for installation to be possible.
Connector Suites
The cistern and pan are connected by a flush pipe. These toilets due to the connecting flush pipe are most flexible for install.
