Various plumbing fixtures and appliances have undergone many changes over the years. For instance, the faucet has been modified and re-modified in many since it was introduced many centuries ago. Now we have touchless hands-free faucet that turn on and off by detecting motion. Another plumbing fixture that has undergone a lot of improvements over the years is the toilet. We now have very many different types of toilets featuring all kinds of improvements. Many people still use the floor-mounted two-piece gravity feed toilets. But some people have now installed the wall-hung toilet due to space limitations in the bathroom. Eco-friendly homeowners that are undertaking bathroom remodeling are now opting for the pressure-assisted dual-flush toilet instead of the gravity feed toilet to conserve water. 
The Japanese are renowned for their many technological inventions. They have played a major role in developing the modern toilet. Modern toilets have many luxury features. They are also of very high quality, which means that they require less DC plumbing repairs. Let us now look at some of the luxury features that are found in modern toilets.
Comfort Height Toilets
Most of us are used to the standard toilet bowls, which are 14-15″ in height. But now we have comfort height toilets that reach 17-19″ in height. Comfort height or seat height toilets are more comfortable to use. They are highly recommended to people with mobility issues. Comfort height toilets are regarded as luxury toilets because they are installed as a matter of preference. They are more costly than standard height toilets but people like them because of the additional comfort.
Hands-Free Flushing
Many modern plumbing fixtures are touchless or hands-free. This means that you do not have to operate them manually. They turn themselves on and off automatically after detecting motion or sensing usage. One of the most amazing luxury features in the modern toilet is hands-free flushing, often found where commercial plumbing is necessary. This toilet does not require you to flush it after use. It just detects you are done and flushes away the waste. This is a very hygienic toilet. It prevents the spread of germs when people are flushing the toilet. It’s also very convenient because you simply walk away after use without even having to look at the toilet bowl.
Heated Seats
Toilet bowls are usually made of ceramic. Toilet seats are usually made of plastic. The plastic can get really cold especially during the cold weather. One luxury feature in modern toilets is heated toilet seats. The seat remains heated throughout meaning that you will use the toilet comfortably without feeling cold. This toilet requires a power source to heat the seat.
Bidet Functionality
One very common feature in most Japanese toilets is the bidet. The bidet is a cleaning mechanism that is designed to clean your body after using the toilet. You do not have to use tissue paper in this kind of toilet. The bidet will clean you and even dry you up using warm vapor.
Automatic Overflow Protection
Most modern toilets have automatic overflow protection. This toilet cannot overflow because it’s fitted with this mechanism that prevents this kind of plumbing problem.
Toilet Bowl Nightlights
Some modern toilets have toilet bowl nightlights to guide the user at night. These nightlights will help you use the toilet properly even in the middle of the night.
Self-Cleaning And Self-Deodorizing Features
And last but not least, many modern toilets have self-cleaning and self-deodorizing features. This helps to keep the toilet clean and fresh at all times.
