Traditional Toilets: Classic Elegance for Every Bathroom

Choosing a traditional toilet involves balancing classic aesthetics with the practical needs of your space. Our collection spans high level, low level, close coupled, back to wall and wall hung designs, complemented by flush plates, Claridge housing and chain levers. The overview below will help you select the perfect style for your bathroom.




HIGH LEVEL

High level toilets embody true period elegance, with a cistern mounted high on the wall and a pull-chain flush reminiscent of Victorian and Edwardian design.
Featuring a solid oak seat in velvet beige, white, black or natural finishes, our traditional toilets are paired with polished nickel, brushed gold or chrome fittings to create a regal aesthetic within your interiors.


LOW LEVEL

Low level toilets offer the same traditional charm in a more compact format. The exposed cistern sits closer to the bowl, connected by a short flush pipe. Each design includes an efficient flush handle and a solid deep-grain oak seat available in white, velvet beige or black and natural finishes, with brassware in brushed gold, polished nickel or chrome.




CLOSE COUPLED

Close coupled toilets provide timeless appeal with modern practicality. With the cistern mounted directly to the bowl, installation is simpler and the design is ideal for tighter spaces. Our Portland close coupled range features a convenient flush handle and a soft-close oak seat, offered in the full selection of brassware options.




BACK TO WALL

Blending traditional styling with a minimal, modern feel, back to wall toilets hide the cistern within the wall for a streamlined finish. The back to wall range is offered with oak seats in velvet beige, white, black or natural, alongside brassware in polished nickel, brushed gold and chrome. Pair with a matching cistern and flush plate for a cohesive scheme.




WALL HUNG

Wall hung toilets create the illusion of extra space by exposing the floor beneath. Ideal for cloakrooms or compact bathrooms, they offer a blend of traditional form and contemporary practicality.
Our Berkeley wall hung toilets nod to Art Deco design while incorporating a rimless bowl for improved hygiene and easier cleaning. A concealed cistern frame and your choice of flush plate complete the look.




CLARIDGE HOUSING

Select Berkeley models can be paired with Claridge housing - a distinctive high-tank design inspired by the 1920s. This classic feature incorporates a flush plate on a prominent upper housing, available in matte stone, matte cream and matte white. It pairs beautifully with traditional vanity units and cast iron baths, with the option to match your flush plate to your taps and accessories.


Choosing the Right Style

  • High level & Claridge housing: Best for spacious, period-inspired bathrooms.
  • Low level & close coupled: Traditional elegance with greater flexibility for smaller rooms.
  • Back to wall & wall hung: A fusion of classic styling and modern efficiency, ideal for creating a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

By considering your available space, installation needs and desired overall look, you can select a traditional toilet that elevates both the function and character of your bathroom.
