The Studio Bagno suite on this page
The Studio Bagno toilet on this page is the Milady rimless back to wall suite. It is a floor mounted pan set against the wall with a matching ceramic cistern, in a refined round shape. The pan has a recessed skirt, which gives the illusion that the pan is floating. The suite is available in gloss white, matte white or matte black, and the matte white toilets page collects other matte finishes.
The buying guide on the main toilets page covers the measurements every toilet shares. The sections below cover what is particular to the Milady.
Back entry cistern and universal trap
The Milady has a back entry cistern only. The water supply has to come in at the rear of the cistern, so check where the supply sits in your wall before you order. The trap is universal, so the suite suits an S trap, where the waste leaves through the floor, and a P trap, where it leaves through the wall. The set out figures are 80 to 150mm for an S trap and 185mm for a P trap. Check your waste position, using the set out measurement explained on the back to wall toilets page, before you choose it.
The Milady's sizes and set out
The gloss white Milady rimless suite comes with matte white and matte black as separate products. It is 620mm deep, 870mm high and 360mm wide, in vitreous china, floor mounted, with a back inlet and a universal trap. The S trap set out is 80 to 150mm and the P trap set out is 185mm. It has a 4.5 litre full flush and a 3 litre half flush, a 4 star WELS rating and the registration number L06764.
The Milady has a full 360 degree rapid flush waterway, with smaller jets that raise the pressure so a second flush is usually not needed, and a rimless bowl with a high channel edge to reduce splashing. The seat is a soft close quick release thin seat with one touch release for cleaning. The suite is not intended for commercial use.
Work to the universal trap. The S trap runs across a range of 80 to 150mm, while the 185mm P trap set out is a single figure and not a range, so check the wall waste against it before you order.
Measure the set out before anything else
The rough in is the measurement from the finished wall behind the toilet to the centre of the waste outlet in the floor. Leave the existing toilet in place, measure from the finished wall and not the skirting board, and measure to the centre of the bolt caps at the base of the toilet. Take that measurement before ordering. Common set outs in Australian homes are 90mm, 120mm and 150mm.
Two errors are common. One is measuring from the skirting instead of the finished wall. The other is ordering before measuring, which can leave a gap between the pan and the wall or stop the pan fitting at all. For the Milady's S trap range of 80 to 150mm, all three of those common figures fall inside the range. The number to check is your own, measured on your own wall.
If the bathroom is being renovated and the old toilet is already gone, measure from the capped waste or from the plumber's plan, and measure to the finished wall surface that will exist after tiling. Tile thickness changes the distance. A set out taken from bare framing will be out by the thickness of the lining and the tile.
S trap or P trap, and how to tell
An S trap connects through the floor and is the most common set out in Australia, and a P trap exits from the back and connects through the wall. Because the Milady's trap is universal, you do not have to choose the toilet around the pipe. Choose the toilet first, then give the plumber your measurement of the S trap range or the 185mm P trap figure, and the same suite fits either case.
The trap is the bend in the waste pipe that joins the toilet to the drain. An S trap leaves through the floor and a P trap leaves through the wall. To check an existing toilet, look at the pipe at its base. If it goes straight down into the floor, it is an S trap, and if it goes back into the wall, it is a P trap. S traps are in the majority of older Australian homes and P traps are more common in newer builds and apartments.
Most back to wall suites include an adjustable S trap connector covering a range of set outs, so you are not limited to one exact measurement. The Milady's universal trap covers both an S trap range and a P trap. Confirm the trap type and the set out first, because a mismatch can mean a costly plumbing change.
Rimless bowl and glaze
The bowl is rimless, with no closed rim under the edge, so the inside of the bowl is open to a cloth or brush. See rimless toilets for how that works. The glaze has Cleanmax nanotech anti-bacterial surface technology, so keep cleaning the toilet as you would any other.
Care of matte finishes
The Milady comes in matte white and matte black as well as gloss white. Ask us how to care for the matte glazes before you use anything beyond mild soap.
Care for a matte finish is gentle. Use a soft damp cloth for daily cleaning, wipe after each use in hard water areas and dry afterwards. For stubborn mineral deposits use a small amount of mild dish soap on a soft cloth, rinse thoroughly and dry at once. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, bleach and acidic products such as vinegar or lemon juice, and some bathroom spray cleaners can slowly wear a finish down.
Use warm water or a mild soap solution on a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid bleach, ammonia, acidic limescale removers, alcohol heavy sprays, scouring powders and stiff brushes. Avoid vinegar at full strength, and if you try a diluted mix, test a hidden spot first. Drying matters because mineral deposits are left behind as water evaporates. That point applies to any finish and costs nothing.
The Milady takes a pH neutral cleaner and no bleach, ammonia or abrasives. On a matte surface, a mark is easier to see and harder to rub out than on gloss, so wipe spills early and use a soft cloth.
Flush, seat and buttons
The Milady has a 4 star WELS rating with a 4.5 litre full flush and a 3 litre half flush, and WaterMark certification. It features chrome flush buttons and a soft close seat with a one touch quick release for easy cleaning. A soft close seat lowers slowly, reducing noise and wear, and a quick release seat lifts off for cleaning around the hinges. If the seat is ever replaced, measure the pan before you buy one, because the round shape needs a round front seat and fixing holes differ between pans. The toilet seats page covers the measuring steps.
Heights, comfort and who it suits
The Milady is 870mm high and 620mm deep. The pan height is not given, so ask for the pan height with the seat fitted. A standard toilet height is about 400mm and a comfort height is 450mm or more, for taller people or people with mobility needs. The usual height is about 39.5cm and ambulant toilets are 46 to 48cm. Measure the room, the door swing and the space in front before you commit.
Finishes and fittings that match
The Milady comes in gloss white, matte white and matte black, and the finish should relate to the rest of the room. Gloss white is the easiest match with white basins, chrome tapware and most tile colours. Matte white gives a soft, flat look that suits a calm, neutral room. Matte black makes a strong feature, and it looks best when the tapware, the accessories and the handles pick up the same black.
The chrome flush buttons come in the box, and chrome pairs with gloss white or matte white. The soft close seat is supplied in white or matte black, so match it to the pan. For black tapware that matches a matte black suite, see black taps. Matching accessories finish the room. Choose a toilet roll holder and a toilet brush holder in the same finish as the tapware, and place them within easy reach of the seat.
Common questions about the Milady
Is the Milady a rimless toilet?
Yes. The bowl is rimless, so there is no closed rim under the edge and the inside of the bowl is open to a cloth or brush.
Does it fit an S trap and a P trap?
Yes. The trap is universal. The S trap set out is 80 to 150mm and the P trap set out is 185mm.
Can the supply come from the bottom?
No. The cistern has a back inlet only, so the supply must arrive at the rear of the cistern.
What comes in the box?
The box holds the pan, the cistern, the chrome round dual flush buttons and a soft close seat. The S trap connector is supplied as standard.
How much water does it use?
It uses 4.5 litres on a full flush and 3 litres on a half flush, with a 3.5 litre average flush, and it carries a 4 star WELS rating.
Other brands in the same formats
If the Milady does not suit your plumbing, other back to wall suites are on the back to wall toilets page, and the brands have their own collections at Bao toilet suites and Indigo toilets. If you move to an in-wall suite instead, the concealed cistern needs a flush plate or buttons chosen with it, and the concealed toilet buttons page covers that choice.
