Cascade

Cascade is a one piece toilet designed for family bathrooms. A flowing chamfered edge runs from the bowl to the tank, giving Cascade a clear visual identity inspired by the movement of water. The seat has tabs on the outer edges, so hands stay away from less sanitary areas. The concealed trapway is installed without the visible holes and plastic caps found on many other models, which simplifies setup. Cascade is made of vitreous china and uses 4.8 litres per flush. The form also matches the other bathroom products of the same line.
