‘Turns out, researching the purchase of a toilet is ridiculously challenging. When I started thinking about redoing the very small bathroom in my 1953 house, I saw pics of just what would work well for me. I particularly liked the simple to clean shape of a “skirted” bowl (not showing the shape of the trap on the outside of the porcelain) and the angled set of a corner tank would get the toilet away from being so absurdly close to the wall as it is now, without modification of the existing plumbing.
Getting to the point of actually shopping for the item, I have learned that these lovely/functional toilets are available in Europe, Singapore, Japan, the United Arab Emirates – just about EVERYWHERE but the U.S.
There are skirted toilets readily available (at Home Despot, Lowe’s, plumbing supply stores), and there are corner tank toilets readily available – but not a single U.S. version that combines those features. Now, I am trying to locate a toilet that would accept a corner tank mounted on a skirted bowl/body.
Here in America - especially while there is so much chatter about tiny house living - we should be able to get the best of all options.
I am completely convinced that, after I cobble together some solution this year, the sort of thing I want is going to become universally available in short order. I predict walking through Lowe’s in two years and seeing a skirted corner tank toilet.
Let me know if you come across it before I do.
Fortunately, sink and tile selection is going better…………
