Begin by setting the scene—why picking the right toilet matters: comfort, hygiene, water efficiency, aesthetics, and long-term value. Introduce Burdens Bathrooms as a trusted Melbourne supplier, rich in choice and expertise, with a dedicated toilets collection to explore Burdens Bathrooms Toilets Collection.
1. Assess Your Bathroom Layout & Space Constraints
The first step in choosing a toilet is understanding your space limitations. Toilets come in different sizes and projections (distance from the wall to the front of the bowl).
-
Standard models work in most bathrooms with generous layouts.
-
Compact toilets are ideal for powder rooms and smaller spaces.
-
Wall-faced and back-to-wall models offer a sleek, space-saving finish.
-
In-wall cisterns create a floating effect with maximum floor space.

2. Understand Installation Requirements (Trap Types & Inlets)
Plumbing matters just as much as style. Toilets connect to waste pipes via trap types and water supply via inlets.
-
S-Trap: Waste pipe goes through the floor.
-
P-Trap: Waste pipe goes through the wall.
-
Inlets: Can be top, back, or bottom, depending on the water feed.

Explain importance of seat height and ease of use.

Also note that Urbane II offers easier height designs and quick-release seats for easier cleaning.
5. Check Water Efficiency Ratings
Discuss WELS (Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards) ratings and environmental impact. Share how Urbane II toilets are WELS 4-star rated, 4.5 L/3 L flush (avg 3.5 L). The Urban II Extra-Height scores WELS 4 (4.7 L full, 3.2 L half, avg 3.3 L), and Zumi Sandra also dual-flushes 4.5 L (full) / 3.5 L (half) with average 3.5 L efficiency.
6. Match the Aesthetic Style
Consider design consistency. Burdens stocks premium Australian and international brands to suit modern or traditional tastes. Urbane II offers low-profile sleek lines, optional coloured seat hinge caps to match tapware. Zumi Sandra’s compact look works well in modern minimalist or powder-room setups
