What is a short projection toilet?

Projection is the distance from the wall behind the toilet to the front edge of the pan. A short projection toilet has a shallower pan, so it sits closer to the wall and takes up less floor space. It works just like a standard WC. You simply get more room in front of it, which matters when the toilet shares a tight space with a door, basin or shower tray.

Who are short projection toilets suitable for?

Anyone short on floor space. They’re a popular choice for downstairs cloakrooms, en-suites, loft bathrooms and small family bathrooms where the door swings close to the pan. If you need a higher seat for easier sitting and standing, a short projection comfort height toilet gives you both. Kitting out a whole small room? Our cloakroom suites and toilet and sink combination units are worth a look too.

Types of short projection toilets

Most toilet styles come in a short projection version. The right one for you depends on your plumbing, how much boxing in you’re happy with, and the look you’re after.

Short projection close coupled toilets keep the cistern on the pan. They’re the simplest swap for an existing toilet, with no boxing in needed.

Short projection back-to-wall toilets sit flush to the wall, with the cistern hidden in a back to wall toilet unit or boxed-in wall.

Short projection wall-hung toilets fix to a concealed frame, leaving the floor clear. They’re usually the shallowest option and quicker to clean around.

Short projection comfort height toilets raise the seat by a few centimetres, so sitting down and standing up take less effort in a compact space.

Short projection rimless toilets have no inner lip around the bowl, so there’s nowhere for germs and limescale to build up.

Short projection traditional toilets bring classic curves and period detailing to a smaller footprint, suiting cloakrooms in older homes and heritage-style bathrooms.

How far does a short projection toilet stick out?

Standard close coupled toilets usually project around 650mm to 700mm from the wall. A short projection toilet typically brings that down to around 600mm, and wall-hung pans can be shallower again. That might not sound like much. In a narrow cloakroom, though, 50mm to 100mm can decide whether the door clears the pan or catches it. Check the projection figure in each product’s specification before you order.

How do you measure for a short projection toilet?

Start at the finished wall, after any tiles or panelling. Measure to the nearest obstruction in front of the toilet, such as an open door, a bath edge or the opposite wall. Take away the projection of the toilet you like. Ideally, you’ll have around 600mm left to stand and sit comfortably. Then check the width of the space and where your soil pipe sits. For a short projection wall-hung toilet, make sure the wall can take a concealed frame too.

Can you replace a standard toilet with a short projection toilet?

Yes, in most cases. The soil pipe is the main thing to check. Because the pan sits closer to the wall, the outlet may land in a different spot, so you might need a shorter or offset pan connector. A short projection close coupled toilet is usually the simplest swap. Moving to back-to-wall or wall-hung means concealing the cistern, which is a bigger job. Check your flooring too, as a smaller footprint can leave an untiled gap.
