PRODUCT FEATURES

Our Aachen 178 is a fantastic toilet with many unique qualities that make it worth your while. Let’s check them out:

Comfort Height

Our Aachen 304T is an excellent choice for anyone who is tall, elderly, or living with mobility issues. This is because it as a comfort height toilet, meaning the pan is higher than the average toilet’s, making it easier and more comfortable for some people to sit on.

Dual Flush

Like all of our close coupled toilets, our Aachen 178 features a dual flush system. Durovin’s dual flush system allows you to perform either a small 3 Litre flush which is excellent at flushing liquid refuse, or a more powerful 6 Litre flush which is adept at flushing physical refuse. By utilizing this choice, you can save both water and money by using as little water to flush as possible.

Large P-Trap

Durovin’s toilets are the best at shifting refuse for another clear reason as well. All of our toilets feature an enlarged P-Trap. This means our toilets can flush larger quantities of refuse simultaneously, lowering the risk of clogs and damage. Toilets with an enlarged P-Trap, like the Aachen 178, are extra safe and reliable, making them perfect for any bathroom.

Ergonomic Shape

The Aachen 178 is ergonomically shaped to provide you with maximum comfort. It’s rounded pan shape means your legs wont chafe or ache while you are sat on the toilet. This comfortable experience, means you don’t have to worry about the amount of time you spend on the toilet, making it very practical.

3 Layer Glazing

Durovin’s toilets also feature three layer glazing. Which helps protect your toilet from germs and bacterial buildup, making it inherently more hygienic than typical toilets, while also making it easier to clean. If you want a hygienic bathroom, you need a toilet from Durovin Bathrooms.

Soft Close Toilet Seat

On top of everything else, our Aachen 178 comes with a soft close, quick release toilet seat. These specially designed toilets seats close quietly and softly, to avoid loud noises and damage. They can also be removed, replaced and reinstalled extremely easily thanks to their quick release hinges. This makes them easier to clean and to swap out for different designs. These excellent toilet seats with extra functionality are the icing on the cake that really make Durovin toilets like the Aachen 178 shine.

Rimless Toilet

All of our toilets are Rimless Toilets, which means they don’t need the old fashioned toilet pan rim to flush and instead use high powered water jets to hygienically and safely flush. The rim can act as a shelf for water, build up and germs which is difficult to clean. This makes the rimless toilet naturally more hygienic and also easier to clean.

Comfort Height (445mm) vs Standard Height Toilets

Standard toilet pan height in the UK ranges from 390–410mm (pan rim to floor, without seat). Adding a standard seat (approximately 20–25mm), this gives a seated height of 410–435mm. For most average-height adults (5'4"–5'10"), this requires a knee flexion angle of approximately 95–105° when seated — comparable to a standard chair.

Comfort height (also called ADA height in the US or accessible height in UK standards) refers to pan heights of 430–460mm. The Aachen 178's 445mm pan height, with the included soft-close seat (adding approximately 20–25mm), delivers a seated height of approximately 465–470mm , within the 450–475mm range recommended in BS 8300:2018 for accessible WC pan heights.

Why comfort height matters in practice:

User Group	Benefit of 445mm Comfort Height
Elderly users	Reduced knee and hip load when standing from seated; less strain on quadriceps
Post-surgery patients (knee/hip replacement)	Elevated height reduces extreme joint flexion prohibited in early recovery
Users with arthritis or joint pain	Less force required to achieve standing posture
Taller adults (6'+)	Standard height creates uncomfortable knee angle; comfort height corrects posture
Pregnant women	Lower centre of gravity makes standing from low seat more difficult; raised height reduces effort

Height comparison:

Toilet Type	Pan Height	With Seat	Seated Posture
Standard toilet	390–410mm	410–435mm	Knees above hips — traditional
Comfort height (Aachen 178)	445mm	~465–470mm	Knees near hip level — ergonomic
Accessible WC (BS 8300:2018)	440–460mm	450–475mm	✅ Recommended accessible range

Building Regulations reference: UK Building Regulations Part M (Access to and Use of Buildings) and BS 8300:2018 specify a toilet seat height of 450–475mm for accessible WC facilities in new-build and renovated homes. The Aachen 178 at 445mm pan height + seat meets this specification, making it suitable for accessible bathroom planning under Part M without an additional height-raising frame.

Rimless Toilet

The lack of a flushing rim makes cleaning and caring for the toilet much easier, and it also reduces the consumption of cleaning agents.

When it comes to the bathroom, the toilet is a major part of the toilet and the key element to completing the bathroom. This is where high quality products is important and the product choice is crucial.

FAQs

What type of waste outlet does the Aachen 178 have?

The Aachen 178 has a P-trap outlet — a horizontal waste connection to a soil pipe in the wall behind the toilet. This is the standard outlet type for most UK bathrooms. Confirm your bathroom has a horizontal (P-trap) wall waste connection at the correct height before purchasing. If your existing toilet uses an S-trap (vertical floor outlet), the waste pipe will need to be re-routed before the Aachen 178 can be installed.

How much water does the Aachen 178 use per flush?

The Aachen 178 uses 3 litres for a half flush (liquid waste) and 6 litres for a full flush (solid waste). Both comply with UK Water Regulations 1999 (maximum 6 litre flush). Replacing a pre-2001 single-flush toilet (9–13 litres) with the Aachen 178 can reduce toilet water consumption by 55–65% — approximately 18,000–27,000 litres per year per household.
