Small toilets?

Question

Are some toilets smaller than others? We have a very small bathroom and I'd like to replace the current toilet with a very small water saving toilet. ideas? Also I was wondering about the shower surround...currently we have a fiberglass insert. We're going to keep it, but I was thinking about making a border with ceramic tile on the wall around the insert. Is that weird? Or do people do that?

Answer 1

Yes you can buy smaller and more economical toilets. But i heard they dont flush as hard, meaning less pressure. You can def. put ceramic tile on your wall around the insert. Not on the insert itself though.

Answer 2

toilets come in varying sizes  , you can get a spec sheet almost any toilet from ost manufactures website (kohler , american standard , toto )  , just keep in mind round front toilets are usually shorter  than an elongated style . also keep in mind  what the rough in measurement for your toilet , most common is a 12 inch rough  but can be 10 or 14 inches. measure   the distance from the bolts to the back wall , don't forget whatever you wall is will be subtracted from that measurement  , sheetrock would be 1/2 " think etc
