Why You Should Upgrade to a Rimless Toilet

Why You Should Upgrade to a Rimless Toilet

Joe Bargh |

Toilets aren’t the most glamorous part of bathroom design—but when it comes to hygiene, cleaning, and smart engineering, few upgrades make a bigger impact than going rimless.

If you’ve never considered the difference, this quick guide will show you why rimless toilets are becoming the new standard in modern bathrooms—and why your next toilet should be one.


🚽 What Is a Rimless Toilet?

A traditional toilet has a hidden rim around the top of the bowl, where water is released during a flush. It’s also where bacteria, grime, and limescale love to hide.

Rimless toilets eliminate that inner rim completely. Instead, they use a direct-flush system that distributes water around the bowl more effectively—with nothing hidden and nowhere for dirt to build up.


Top 5 Benefits of a Rimless Toilet

1. Easier to Clean

No hidden rim = nowhere for germs to hide. The smooth, open-edge design means you can wipe it clean in seconds—no scrubbing, no special brushes.

2. More Hygienic

Traditional toilets can harbour bacteria under the rim even after flushing. Rimless toilets give you a visibly cleaner, fresher bowl every time.

3. More Efficient Flushing

The direct-flush technology ensures even water distribution with less splashing. It’s powerful, clean, and uses water more efficiently.

4. Modern Look

Rimless toilets tend to have a sleeker, more contemporary design—perfect for minimalist or luxury-style bathrooms.

5. Better for Families

If you’ve got young children (or don’t want to clean up after them constantly), a rimless toilet will make life simpler and more hygienic.


🔧 Is It Easy to Replace My Old Toilet?

Yes—most modern rimless toilets are compatible with standard plumbing. Whether you prefer a wall-hung look or a close-coupled option, we stock a wide range designed to work in existing setups with minimal fuss.
