When it comes to home improvements, the toilet often doesn’t get the spotlight—but it should. As one of the most used fixtures in any home, your toilet plays a key role in comfort, cleanliness, and efficiency. Whether you’re renovating or building new, here’s what to consider when selecting a toilet that suits your needs, space, and style.
From classic to contemporary, toilets are available in a range of formats—each with its own benefits, limitations, and price point. It’s best to check with a plumber to confirm compatibility before making a final decision.
A popular choice in New Zealand homes, back-to-wall toilets align the cistern directly above the pan, creating a tidy silhouette against the wall. This style enhances both hygiene and space-efficiency while giving the room a streamlined look.
While ideal for new builds or major renovations, these models may require adjustments to your plumbing setup—especially in retrofit situations. Always check with your plumber to ensure the correct inlet positioning.
At Propel, our range of back-to-wall toilets includes rimless models, Tornado Flush™ technology, short projection formats, and accessible designs.
Floating above the floor, in-wall hung toilets deliver a modern, minimalist look. With the cistern hidden inside the wall and customizable flush plate options, they make a bold statement while making cleaning easier.
If you prefer a grounded look with the sleekness of an in-wall system, floor-standing pans with concealed cisterns strike the perfect balance. Our Niche range offers various flush button shapes and finishes to match your aesthetic.
Your bathroom layout will determine the best toilet footprint. Compact toilets like the Snubby or Mini Cyclone are great for powder rooms or small ensuites. If comfort is a priority, our full-size bowls offer a more spacious seating experience.
All Propel toilets include a matching seat, but if you’re looking for a different profile, we offer slim and thick covers sold separately. Buy a seat at the same time as a toilet online and receive $25 off the seat—automatically applied.
Standard-height toilets work for most, but comfort-height models—slightly taller—are a better choice for taller users or anyone with limited mobility. They make sitting and standing easier, especially in shared or multigenerational households.
Cleaning is easier with smooth surfaces and seamless contours. Pair your toilet with our Tornado Tidy Brush, designed with silicone bristles to clean efficiently without scratching the ceramic. Plus, enjoy $5 off the brush when purchasing with any toilet.
All Propel toilets are dual flush, letting you choose a full or partial flush to conserve water.
Rimless designs eliminate hidden nooks under the bowl edge, making cleaning more effective and helping reduce bacteria build-up. Rimless models include:
Our signature feature creates a powerful vortex that spins water around the bowl, ensuring full coverage with less water. Tornado Flush™ models include:
All Propel toilets are WELS-rated with 4-star performance, offering water savings without compromising flushing power. Lower usage means savings on your bill and benefits for the environment.
There’s a Propel toilet to match every budget. We’ve designed our pricing to give you access to modern design and advanced features—without a high price tag.
Back-to-wall toilets are often easier and more cost-effective to install. Wall-mounted options, while stylish, typically involve more labour and structural requirements, making them more suitable for new builds or larger renovations.
Finding the right toilet means balancing looks, comfort, performance, and cost. At Propel, we offer a range of styles and features that make upgrading your bathroom easy, modern, and future-ready.
