Recently we remodeled our bathroom in an older house. We put down a ceramic tile floor over hardi backer board. We have a small area for the toilet so we bought a Kohler Cimarron. Not a bad flush, no problem there. But the seat is terrible, it is basically snapped together with some little plastic snaps to the bolts, allowing it to shift easilly. Further, the water is to close to the toilet seat causing all the male users some uncomfortable experiences lol. So we have decided we're through with the Kohler after about a month and a half. Researching, we decided that we'd like to install an elongated Toto Ultramax II. We're going to have to buy this online. So a couple of questions: 1) the handyman who installed the round toilet had to use some type of flange because the new flooring added about 3/4" in height from the backer board and the porcelain tile. We're wondering whether replace a round toilet with an elongated toilet is going to cause any issues? 2) We also wonder how high that water level is in the Toto, is it going to cause our male users any issues while seated? 3) The Toto will have to fit in an area that is 27" wide X 40.5 " deep. It's not actually a square enclosure, so the width expands. But we're somewhat concerned about the depth. We know the Toto is 28.3", but it's an oblong type of shape. Is our 40.5" depth going to be sufficient to comfortably allow folks to sit on the toilet?
Thanks for any help you folks can provide.
