Turner Hastings Toilets Buying Guide
A toilet needs to hold up to daily use more than almost any other bathroom fixture, which makes material quality and mechanism reliability worth as much attention as the styling. Turner Hastings builds its range around thick vitreous china, a high-fired ceramic that resists scratching and staining considerably better than lower-grade alternatives, standing up well to the daily wear of a busy household bathroom.
Toilet styles in the range
Back-to-wall toilets conceal the cistern within a wall cavity or furniture unit, keeping plumbing out of sight while remaining straightforward to clean around. In-wall concealed toilets take this further, hiding the cistern entirely within the wall structure for a fully streamlined look with only the pan and flush plate visible. Traditional-style toilets bring genuine heritage character, curved profiles and period detailing, without sacrificing current flushing efficiency to achieve that look.
Water efficiency
Turner Hastings toilets use dual-flush systems carrying a 4-star WELS rating, offering a reduced half-flush for liquid waste and a full flush for solid waste. This lets water use be matched to what's actually needed for each visit, reducing overall consumption compared to an older single-flush toilet, without a reduction in flushing performance. Pairing the toilet with the range's cistern buttons keeps operation quiet and consistent.
Details worth considering
A soft-close seat prevents the lid from slamming, reducing both noise and wear on the seat and hinge over time. A quick-release seat lifts off entirely for a more thorough clean, a genuine practical benefit in a busy household bathroom. Beyond function, finish matters: matte black hides fingerprints and water marks more effectively than a polished surface, and brushed nickel cistern buttons add a subtler, more considered detail than a plain chrome button. The concealed buttons range covers this minimalist option directly.
Common mistakes to avoid
A few planning missteps are worth avoiding before ordering:
- Skipping rough in measurements confirm the distance between the wall and the waste outlet before choosing a toilet, since this determines compatibility with the existing plumbing
- Sticking with a basic seat a lower-quality seat is more prone to cracking over time than a soft-close or quick-release upgrade
What sets Turner Hastings toilets apart from other brands?
Turner Hastings toilets combine classic heritage design detailing with current flushing technology, built from high-quality vitreous china for long-term durability and a consistently reliable flush.
Completing the bathroom
A Turner Hastings toilet is easiest to plan alongside the rest of the bathroom's fixtures and finishes. The Blue Space's Toilets, Tiles and Bathroom Accessories collections are worth reviewing alongside a toilet selection to bring the full renovation together.
