Toilet Roll Holder

Toilet Roll Holder

Toilet roll holders come in various sizes, styles and finishes, as well as multi-purpose designs.

Different Styles

The two main styles are the vertical, unfixed models which you simply place on the floor, and the horizontal type, which you affix to your wall. Vertical models can often hold up to 4 toilet rolls at once, whereas horizontal models usually just hold one. Then within these two main styles there are different features, such as covered models to keep the roll dry and protected (often used in public lavatories) and also easy-tear designs.

Ergonomic Problems

One problem with horizontal models is that the roll can often slide off the holder when you are using it, whereas the vertical model doesn't have this problem. Conversely, the horizontal design is usually at a more comfortable height to use, with the toilet rolls on the vertical model being much nearer the floor and harder to reach. You might also not want to drill into your bathroom wall which is another negative point for the horizontal model. However these are much more popular simply for their ease of use.

Different Finishes

Popular finishes are chrome, wood and brushed stainless steel. These all look great and are very durable and extremely water resistant.

Multi-purpose Models

You can also get toilet roll holders which double up as toilet brush stands, or ones with mirrors affixed.

Prices typically start from below £10 but you can easily spend over £100 for multi-function models or designer holders made from expensive materials.
