Introduction: Affordable Luxury in Modern Bathrooms

Upgrading a bathroom often means balancing style, functionality, and budget. In Canada, many homes — especially older houses and condos — use a 10-inch rough-in for the toilet flange. Since most modern toilets are built for a 12-inch rough-in, homeowners either pay for plumbing alterations or hunt for specialty toilets. The HOROW T37 offers a practical middle ground: modern features, compact design, and an attractive price point under $1400.

Why Choose a Toilet for a 10-Inch Rough-In?

The challenge of small-space bathrooms in Canada

The term rough-in describes the distance from the finished wall behind the toilet to the center of the drainpipe. Historically, many Canadian builds — particularly those in urban centres — used a 10-inch rough-in. Today’s 12-inch standard leaves homeowners with two options: redo the floor/plumbing to accommodate a 12-inch fixture or source a quality 10-inch toilet. Re-plumbing can cost thousands; for most homeowners, replacing the fixture is the smarter option.

Why the HOROW T37 fits the bill

The HOROW T37 was engineered to solve this issue. It’s compact, powerful, and styled to match modern bathrooms — all while keeping installation simple for 10-inch rough-ins and remaining affordable.

Key Features of the HOROW T37

• 10-inch rough-in compatibility: Designed specifically to sit correctly on a 10-inch flange without expensive plumbing changes.
• One-piece sleek design: Seamless silhouette that’s easier to clean and visually modern compared to two-piece models.
• Dual-flush system: Light flush for liquids and full flush for solids to save water and reduce utility costs.
• Comfort height: Elevated seat height for easier sitting and standing — ideal for seniors and taller users.
• Soft-close seat: Prevents slamming and adds a premium touch.
• Durable ceramic construction: High-quality glaze resists stains and keeps the bowl looking new longer.
• Budget friendly (under $1400): Premium features without the typical premium price tag.

Benefits for Canadian Homeowners

The HOROW T37 delivers multiple benefits for Canadian buyers:

1. Cost-effective upgrade: A modern toilet solution without expensive plumbing work.
2. Space saving: Compact footprint designed for smaller bathrooms and older builds.
3. Water efficiency: Dual-flush reduces water consumption and aligns with sustainability goals.
4. Low maintenance: One-piece design eliminates many dirt-trapping crevices.
5. Improved accessibility: Comfort height makes life easier for seniors and limited-mobility users.

HOROW T37 vs. Other Toilets

HOROW T37 vs. Standard two-piece toilets

Compared to basic two-piece models, the T37 offers a sleeker look, better hygiene (fewer joints to clean), and is purpose-built for 10-inch rough-ins where many two-piece models won't fit properly.

HOROW T37 vs. premium smart toilets

High-end smart toilets often include bidets, heated seats, and electronic controls and can cost $2,000–$6,000. The HOROW T37 focuses on core features — design, water efficiency, and comfort — at a lower cost and with fewer electronic components to maintain.

Installation Guide (Basic)

Tools you'll need: adjustable wrench, screwdriver, wax ring (or wax-free seal), toilet bolts, level.

Step-by-step

1. Turn off water & remove old toilet: Shut off supply, flush to empty, disconnect supply line, remove bolts and lift old fixture.
2. Inspect flange: Repair or replace the flange if damaged and make sure bolts are straight.
3. Place wax ring: Position a new wax ring on the flange (or use a wax-free seal for easier future removal).
4. Lower the HOROW T37: Align drain with flange and lower carefully onto mounting bolts; press down to seat the wax ring.
5. Secure: Tighten nuts evenly — do not overtighten to avoid cracking ceramic. Use shims if needed for level.
6. Connect water supply: Attach the fill line and turn the water back on. Check for leaks at the base and supply connection.
7. Test: Flush several times (both light and full flush) to ensure proper operation and seal integrity.
8. Attach seat: Install the soft-close seat and confirm it closes smoothly.

Tip: If the flange is set too far back (or forward), or if you’re uncomfortable with the steps above, a licensed plumber can complete the job quickly — but the HOROW T37 is intentionally designed to minimize the need for costly plumbing changes.

Common Questions

Does the HOROW T37 only work with 10-inch rough-ins?

It’s designed specifically for 10-inch rough-in installations, which avoids the need for re-plumbing. Some installations can adapt, but standard use is for 10-inch spacing.

Is professional installation required?

No — many homeowners install it themselves — but hiring a plumber ensures correct sealing and leveling, especially in older homes.

How water-efficient is it?

The dual-flush saves water by offering a reduced volume flush for liquids and a higher volume for solids; this typically reduces household toilet water usage compared to single-flush older toilets.

Is it available across Canada?

Yes — HOROW products are sold by authorized online retailers and through various eCommerce stores; check seller shipping terms for your province.
