When selecting a traditional toilet, there is an array of different styles and designs to choose from. Our collection includes high level, low level, closed couple, back to wall and wall hung toilets that are complemented by flush plates, Claridge housing or chain levers. This guide provides a detailed overview of different types of traditional toilets, helping you make an informed decision on which toilet to include in your traditional bathroom.

High level toilets are the epitome of classic bathroom design, featuring a cistern mounted high on the wall with a pull flush chain. These toilets are renowned for elegance, reminiscent of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Portland high level toilets detail a solid oak seat in velvet beige, white, black and natural finishes which is complemented by polished nickel, brushed gold and chrome fittings.

Low level toilets feature an exposed cistern which is positioned at a low level. Compared to high level toilets, the cistern on a low level toilet is fixed closer to the bowl with a connecting pipe. This design retains a traditional look while being more compact than high level toilets. Our traditional low level toilets detail an efficient flush handle system and a solid oak seat that is crafted with deep grain natural oak that displays a natural texture of deep lines and raised strokes. Available in velvet beige, white, black and natural oak finishes and complemented with brass finishes of brushed gold, polished nickel and chrome.

Close coupled toilets are a timeless design that blends indispensable functionality with luxury design. They come with an array of benefits including ease of installation as the cistern is directly mounted to the bowl, reducing the need for extensive plumbing. The space-efficient design is ideal for small bathrooms crafted in a compact size. Our Portland range of closed coupled toilets features a flush handle system for convenience and a soft-closing solid oak seat that provides lasting comfort. Available in velvet beige, white, black and natural oak finishes and complemented with brass finishes of brushed gold, polished nickel and chrome.

Our Portland range of back to wall toilets offers a traditional aesthetic with modern functionality. The cistern of a back to wall toilet is concealed into the wall which creates a minimal and clean design that seamlessly blends with your decor and interior. It’s the ideal addition for homeowners who are looking to create a clutter-free bathroom with a minimal yet classical appeal. The Portland back to wall is available with velvet beige, white, black, and natural oak seats as well as polished nickel, brushed gold, and chrome brassware finishes. Complement the traditional toilet with a cistern and flush plate in matching finishes from our collection.

Wall hung toilets are mounted on the wall, with the cistern concealed inside the wall. This design leaves the floor space beneath the toilet clear which creates the illusion of more space and a larger room to work with. Our traditional wall hung toilets are ideal for cloakrooms and small bathrooms. The compact designs come with a concealed cistern frame and flush plate in a finish of your choice. The Berkley wall hung toilets take influence from the Art Deco era, but are crafted with modern technology. The toilet features our innovative rimless bowl that enhances hygiene and makes it easier to clean. The rimless design uses a flush technique that jets water around the toilet bowl rather than redistributing it, avoiding the build-up of limescale and bacteria.

A selection of our traditional Berkeley toilets are complemented with Claridge housing. A design often found in 1920s interiors, Claridge housing is a distinctive high tank, with a flush plate attached, embodying a classical style that takes note from the Art Deco period. The Claridge housing is available in matte stone, matte cream and matte white which pairs beautifully with our traditional vanity units and cast iron baths. Match your flush plate finish with your traditional bathroom accessories and bathroom taps.

Choosing the correct traditional toilet involves balancing aesthetics, functionality, and the specific needs of your bathroom space. High level and Claridge housing toilets offer a classical, period appeal, perfect for spacious bathrooms with high ceilings. Low level and close coupled toilets provide a traditional aesthetic while being more adaptable to smaller spaces. Back to wall and wall hung toilets blend traditional style with modern design, ideal for homeowners seeking a sleek yet classic appearance. Consider the layout of your bathroom, the desired aesthetic, and practical aspects such as installation and maintenance when making your decision. With the right choice, your traditional toilet can enhance both the functionality and elegance of your bathroom.
