Featuring the best toilet pans in New Zealand

Toilet pans have come a long way in recent years with advancements in technology, manufacturing processes and design. If you haven’t upgraded yours in a while, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how far they’ve come and the innovations they boast. ArchiPro features only the best toilet pans in New Zealand — an important part of a wider range of high-quality toilet products that you can consider to revitalise your bathroom.

Types of toilet pans

Close-coupled

Close coupled toilet pans are directly attached to a cistern above, forming a single streamlined unit. They are versatile and fit well in most bathroom styles.

Back-to-wall

These pans sit flush against the bathroom wall, concealing the plumbing for a sleek, modern look. They are easy to clean and popular in contemporary bathrooms in New Zealand.

Wall-Hung

Mounted directly to the wall with hidden supports and plumbing, wall-hung pans create a sense of space and make floor cleaning easier. They offer a minimalist aesthetic and are often used in modern, high-end bathrooms.

Corner 

Designed to fit into the corner of a bathroom, these pans maximise space efficiency, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms or awkwardly shaped areas.

Rimless toilet

Rimless pans have a direct flush technique that cleans the entire bowl more efficiently and hygienically by eliminating the rim where bacteria and limescale can accumulate. They are becoming increasingly popular in New Zealand for their ease of cleaning and improved hygiene.

Comfort Height Toilet Pans

These are taller than standard toilet pans and designed to be more comfortable for taller individuals, the elderly, or those with mobility issues. The increased height makes sitting down and standing up easier.

The benefits of high-quality toilet pans

High-quality toilet pans offer superior durability and longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements and repairs, thus saving costs over time. They are designed with advanced flushing technologies that enhance water efficiency, contributing to environmental conservation and lower water bills. The materials used in high-quality pans are often easier to clean and more resistant to stains and scratches, maintaining their appearance and hygiene for longer periods. Additionally, these toilet pans come in a variety of designs, including rimless models that provide a more hygienic flush by minimising areas where bacteria can thrive.

How to choose a toilet pan

Choosing the right toilet pan in New Zealand involves considering several key factors to ensure comfort, functionality, and aesthetic appeal in your bathroom. Start by evaluating the size and layout of your bathroom to determine the most appropriate type of pan — whether close-coupled, back-to-wall, wall-hung, or corner toilet pan — to maximise space and complement the design. Pay attention to the height and shape of the pan for ergonomic comfort, with comfort height pans being a good option for those with mobility issues. Opt for models with water efficiency features, such as dual-flush mechanisms or rimless designs, to conserve water and enhance hygiene. Also, consider the material and quality of the pan for durability and ease of cleaning, with ceramic being a popular and hygienic choice. Finally, ensure the pan fits with the existing plumbing setup and is compatible with the cistern you have or plan to purchase, to ensure a seamless installation and operation.

Other toilet products that you may need

If you’re shopping for a toilet pan then you’ll likely need a few other toilet products to complete your suite. A toilet cistern is one such component, without which a toilet could not function. Choosing one that matches your toilet pan is the best way to create a cohesive look. A comfortable toilet seat is key too and there are some extraordinary options to choose from with features like soft-close seats, warmers and bidet additions, to name a few. On top of all this, there are other toilet accessories like push plates and flush buttons that can make your toilet more functional and stylish at the same time.
