Find the right toilet that works best for you

Selecting the right toilet is more than a matter of function—it directly affects comfort, style, and practicality. Whether for a renovation or when planning a new bathroom, a well-chosen toilet should harmonize with the bathroom layout, suit the household’s daily needs, and reflect the desired design aesthetic. Over the years, toilet design and technology have advanced significantly, offering options that combine efficiency, hygiene, and modern appeal. Below, we explore the main types of toilets and their advantages.

A close-coupled toilet is the most traditional style, where the cistern is mounted directly on the back of the toilet bowl, making the unit appear as one connected piece. Many of Roca’s toilets are available in the close-coupled model, including Ona, Tura and Victoria collection, whose elegant, streamlined forms complement any space. For taller users or those with mobility concerns, The Gap collection provides a comfort height model that stands slightly higher than a standard sized toilet. Close-coupled toilets are ideal for family homes, rental properties, or renovations where affordability and ease of installation are priorities. Smart toilets including In-Wash® Ona and Inspira models, are available in a close-coupled model as well. 

Key Advantages:

• Straightforward to install and replace
• Widely available and often more affordable 
• Reliable and familiar design

As the name suggests, wall-hung toilets are fixed to the wall, with the cistern hidden inside the wall cavity or a frame system.The toilet is suspended, freeing up floor space and making it easy to clean. Wall-hung toilets are becoming a go-to look in contemporary and minimalist bathrooms, thanks to their modern design features, as seen in the architecture-inspired Tura wall-hung toilet, Inspira’s elegant round model that comes in several finishes, as well as The Gap’s timeless design. What also makes wall-hung toilets popular with contemporary bathrooms are the addition of flush plates, the wall-mounted installation system that partners with a wall-hung toilet. Operating plates come in a variety of elegant designs, from rounded shapes to minimalist square models and a range of finishes from coloured matt finishes to metallic tones such as chrome and rose gold. Operating plates can be paired with faucets, accessories and even the toilet itself, to create a cohesive, stylish space. 

Many smart toilets are also wall-mounted, including In-Wash® Ona and In-Wash® Insignia.They are perfect for small and large bathrooms, contemporaryspaces that seek a minimal, fluid look, and luxury projects where style is essential.

Key Advantages:

• Maximizes floor space and creates a more open feel
• Makes cleaning underneath easy 
• Provides a sleek, contemporary look especially when complemented with a stylish operating plate.

A back-to-wall toilet sits with its back directly against the wall or a piece of bathroom furniture, concealing the cistern while keeping the bowl floor-mounted.It’s a style that is in between wall mounted and close-coupled model. The back-to-wall model, as with the Tura collection and Ona collection, is well-suited to contemporary homes, en-suites, or bathrooms where a neat, integrated appearance is desired.

Key Advantages:

• Streamlined design with no exposed pipework
• Compact footprint suitable for minimalist spaces
• The contemporary look of a wall-hung but with the classic floor-mounted style

In-Tank® toilets, such as the Avant toilet, to be released in early 2026, is a revolutionary design that integrates the cistern into the bowl. This innovative concept creates a sleek design and a toilet system that saves space, has an easy, low-maintenance installation system and is saves energy and water through its low-consumption, dual-flush mechanism.

Key Advantages:

• Fewer seams and crevices for simpler cleaning
• Durable, solid construction
• Smooth, modern silhouette
• The In-Tank® model ensures energy and water savings

The most contemporary option, smart toilets (sometimes called shower toilets) combine traditional flushing with high-tech features like bidet sprays, heated seats, self-cleaning systems, and night lights. The In-Wash® Ona and In-Wash® Insignia smart toilet collections are designed for any household, with a focus on luxury homes, tech-oriented households, and future-focused bathroom renovations. To convert your standard close-coupled, back-to-wall or wall-hung toilet into a smart toilet, the Multiclean®-M-Series, compatible with most Roca toilets, is an innovative smart seat system that allows you to convert your current toilet into a smart toilet and enjoy the benefits. 

Key Advantages:

• Superior hygiene and comfort
• Eco-friendly by reducing toilet paper use
• Premium features that elevate the bathroom experience

Modern toilets increasingly incorporate water-saving technology, such as dual-flush mechanisms and Roca Rimless® designs, which improve hygiene and reduce water consumption. Accessibility is also a growing focus, with Access collection’s comfort-height toilet providing easier use for older adults or those with mobility challenges.

Choosing the right toilet type is an investment in both comfort and practicality. From traditional close-coupled designs to high-tech smart toilets, there are solutions for every space, budget, and lifestyle. Today’s options balance form, function, and sustainability, allowing homeowners to create bathrooms that are efficient, stylish, and tailored to their needs.
