Best seat in the house: How to choose a loo for your home 

Just how much thought do we put into getting our toilet's hydro-mechanics, aesthetics and comfort right?  
Best seat in the house: How to choose a loo for your home 

Can't afford a fully integrated shower toilet? The bidet shower placed by the toilet in a larger bathroom can work well. Prices from €120. Traditional bidets start in the area of €660 depending on brand. Picture: Roca

The loo: The most important seating in the house, used up to eight times by every family member. That’s approaching 3,000 whooshes a year, and at 5-13 litres per flush — as much as 30% of the total water used in the household. 

How much serious thought do we put into getting its hydro-mechanics, aesthetics and comfort right? Heads-up: you don’t have to take the cheapest on offer with your suite.
