A smaller HDB bathroom needs a toilet bowl that does not take up more room than necessary. When looking at a toilet bowl size for small HDB bathroom Singapore, compare the measurements of the WC with the actual space available around your basin, shower screen and bathroom entrance.
What should you measure around the toilet area?
Before choosing a WC, measure the space where it will sit. Take note of how far the toilet extends into the bathroom, especially if the space between the WC and the fittings opposite it is limited.
Check:
- How much space there is from the wall to the front of the WC
- Available width on both sides
- Clearance from the basin or cabinet
- Bathroom door movement
- Position of the existing waste outlet
If replacing an old WC‚ the type of trap and position of the outlet may decide which model can be used to fit the space available in the bathroom․
How does this toilet differ from a one-piece toilet?
A one-piece water closet has a cistern and bowl that are combined into a single piece․ An example is the WasserBath CV2340 One Piece WC‚ measuring 700 x 400 x 540 mm․ Check this against your available toilet area and see how much space is left around the WC for daily use.
WasserBath also carries smaller-profile two-piece options. For comparison, the CT1288R 2 Piece Rimless WC measures 640 x 360 x 835 mm. Looking at both sets of measurements can help you work out which option fits your available floor area better.
Can a wall-hung WC help with limited space?
A wall-hung WC does not have the usual base extending down to the floor. More of the flooring can therefore be seen around and below the toilet, which may help a compact bathroom appear less packed. It also means you can reach the area underneath more easily when cleaning.
The cistern is fitted out of sight rather than sitting behind the bowl like a regular toilet. Make sure the required installation space is considered together with the size of the toilet bowl.
How do you decide which toilet size fits?
There is no standard WC size that will suit every HDB toilet. A better approach is to measure the space you actually have and check those measurements against the toilet specifications before you buy. When comparing a toilet bowl size for small HDB bathroom Singapore, look beyond the WC measurements alone. Think about whether there is still enough space in front and beside the toilet for normal daily use. The basin, shower screen and bathroom door should also remain easy to use once the WC is installed. WasserBath has one-piece, two-piece, floor-standing and wall-hung toilet bowls that you can compare according to the space available.
