Hello,

we are currently building a new house and need to specify the heights of the bathroom fixtures.

Toilet: 41cm (16 inches) from the top edge of the ceramic (without the seat) to the finished floor level (recommended by Geberit)
Washbasin: 90cm (35 inches) from the top edge of the basin to the finished floor level (recommended by Laufen)
Shower valve mixer: 110cm (43 inches); this results in a showerhead height of 210cm (83 inches)
Bathtub faucet: 20cm (8 inches) above the top edge of the bathtub

I am 183cm (6 feet) tall, and my wife is approximately 175cm (5 feet 9 inches).

I hope you can share your feedback and experience regarding these fixture heights.

Thank you.

Yes, I think 42 or 43cm (17 or 17 inches) is the ideal height for the toilet.

We are currently leaning towards 42cm (17 inches), but does anyone have arguments in favor of 43cm (17 inches)?

We believe that 42/43cm (17 or 17 inches) is the best compromise between comfort and health.

90cm (35 inches) for the washbasin should be fine (85cm (33 inches) is the standard).
