Buying a western toilet seat for a new bathroom or a renovation isn't just about picking whatever looks good in the showroom. Flush type, trap position, seat material, and installation type all affect how the toilet performs for years — and how easy it is to keep clean. Lorazzo has just launched its commode collection, starting at ₹9,900, built specifically for Indian bathroom plumbing and daily-use durability.
This guide walks through what a western toilet actually is, the difference between a one piece toilet and a two-piece unit, how wall hanging commode models differ from floor-mounted ones, and how to check S-Trap vs P-Trap compatibility before you buy — so you can make a confident, informed decision.
What Is a Western Toilet Seat?
A western toilet seat, also called an English toilet seat, is a sit-down commode — as opposed to an Indian-style squat toilet. It consists of a commode seat (the bowl and tank) that sits at chair height, paired with a hinged lid and seat ring. Most modern Indian homes now install western-style toilet commode units for comfort, accessibility, and ease of cleaning, especially in households with elderly members or young children.
One Piece Toilet vs Two-Piece Commode
The one piece toilet design molds the tank and bowl into a single ceramic unit, with no seam between them. This has three practical advantages:
- Fewer joints for dirt, moisture, and bacteria to collect in
- Easier daily cleaning since there's no gap between tank and bowl
- A lower profile, modern look that suits contemporary Indian bathrooms
A two-piece commode has the tank and bowl bolted together separately. It can be marginally easier to repair a single part, but the joint tends to trap grime over time, which means more scrubbing effort long-term.
Lorazzo's new launch uses one piece toilet seat construction across the range, fired at 1200°C for a stain- and scratch-resistant ceramic finish.
Wall Hung Commode vs Floor-Mounted Commode
A wall mounted commode — also called a wall hung commode — is installed with the tank concealed inside the wall, and the bowl projects outward, leaving the floor beneath it completely open. This style is popular in compact or premium bathrooms because:
- It makes floor cleaning faster and more thorough (no base to mop around)
- It gives the bathroom a sleeker, more contemporary look
- It generally requires a wall mounted commode with flush tank built into the wall cavity, which needs to be planned during construction or major renovation
A floor-mounted, one-piece commode, by contrast, doesn't require any wall modification and can be installed as a straightforward replacement in an existing bathroom — which is why it's the more common choice for renovations rather than new construction. If you're evaluating a wall hanging commode for a new build, factor in the concealed cistern installation cost and the fact that it needs professional plumbing work at the framing stage, well before tiling.
S-Trap Commode vs P-Trap Commode: Check This Before You Buy
The "trap" refers to where the commode's outlet pipe connects to your bathroom's drainage line, and this is the single most important spec to check before ordering:
- S-Trap commode: The outlet points downward into the floor. This is the standard configuration in the vast majority of Indian homes and apartments.
- P-Trap commode: The outlet points backward into the wall. This is used only in bathrooms specifically plumbed for wall-set drainage.
S-Trap and P-Trap models are not interchangeable without replumbing the outlet. Before you buy a commode online, measure your existing outlet position and match it to the trap type — this single check prevents the most common return request in online toilet seat purchases.
What's Included in Lorazzo's New Commode Launch
Lorazzo's new collection covers two price points:
- UNO™ One-Piece Ceramic Commode — starting ₹9,900: A compact, everyday one-piece western toilet seat with a soft-close UF seat, siphonic dual flush, and S-Trap outlet. Built for homeowners who want a reliable upgrade without a premium price tag.
- Intelli Smart Commode — ₹38,500: A one-piece smart commode with an adjustable-temperature seat and multiple wash modes, on the same 1200°C ceramic body and S-Trap configuration.
Both models are backed by a 10-year warranty on the ceramic body, support up to 450 kg, and include the seat cover and installation kit in the listed price — so the number on the product page is the number you pay, with no hidden installation add-ons.
Understanding Western Toilet Seat Price in India
Western toilet seat price in India generally varies based on three factors:
- Construction — one-piece ceramic units cost more upfront than two-piece models but reduce long-term cleaning and maintenance
- Flush technology — a siphonic dual-flush system, like the one used across Lorazzo's range, is more water-efficient than older single-flush designs
- Added features — smart functions such as heated seats and wash modes push commode price toward the premium end of the range
Lorazzo's current commode price range runs from ₹9,900 for the everyday UNO™ model to ₹38,500 for the feature-rich Intelli Smart Commode, giving you a clear choice between a straightforward upgrade and a hotel-grade bathroom experience — without compromising on ceramic quality or warranty coverage either way.

Final Thoughts
Whether you're comparing a wall hung commode for a new build or a straightforward one piece toilet seat replacement for an existing bathroom, the decision comes down to three checks: trap type (S-Trap or P-Trap), construction (one-piece vs two-piece), and flush efficiency. Lorazzo's new launch is built around the S-Trap, one-piece configuration that fits the vast majority of Indian homes, starting at ₹9,900.
