First, I'll define one-piece and two-piece toilets. Both toilets flush body waste.

One vs. two-piece toilets

One-piece vs. two-piece toilets

Bowl, pedestal, and tank make up a toilet. The toilet's foundation sets its height. The toilet bowl collects waste and flushes it down the drain. The tank holds water and provides pressure to flush the toilet.

If the toilet and tank are joined, it's a one-piece toilet.

Two-piece toilets have a separate toilet and tank that are attached with fittings.

Here are 10 toilets. Let's compare.

Price

Price is important when buying anything. One-piece toilets cost more than two-piece. One-piece toilet production is more complex than two-piece. One-piece toilets cost double two-piece toilets. Two-piece wins.

Accessibility

Both toilets have similar styles. As seen in the two toilet versions below, the design is the identical, but you can choose a single-piece or paired closet. Design-wise, they're identical.

Appearance

The one-piece toilet has no joint or gap between the tank and body, unlike a closet toilet.

Weight

single vs. two-piece toilet weight 3

One-piece toilets are meant to retain the ceramic tank during the firing cycle, thus they're heavier. A single-piece toilet weighs 40 kg (88 Pounds). Two-piece toilets weigh 25 kg (55 Pounds). When comparing solid mass, a toilet piece wins.

Optional Mounting

One-piece toilets are heavier than two-piece, so they can't be hung on the wall. Coupled closets can have wall-mounted and floor-mounted models, whereas one-piece closets only have floor models. Two-piece toilets are the only option for wall-hung models.

Size

One-piece and two-piece toilets are similar in size. Two-piece toilets are easier to move because the toilet and tank are separate. Both toilets are 400mm tall (15.7 Inch).

Functionality

Both toilet models are functional. Depending on the toilet's flushing mechanism and design. One-piece and two-piece toilets are equivalent.

Installation

Two perspectives on installation:

One-piece toilets are easier to install than two-piece toilets. Since toilet and tank are connected. No connection needed. Two-piece toilet installation is tricky. Effective tank and toilet fitting prevents water leakage and ensures proper flushing.

2. One-pieces are heavier and harder to move than two-pieces. Two-piece toilets may be moved individually, making relocating easier.

Maintenance

One-piece toilets are low-maintenance due to fewer fittings. Two-piece toilet tank and joint regions may have issues. No joints and no gaps make one-piece toilets easier to clean. Two-piece toilet & tank junction regions must be cleaned.
