Bathroom fixtures for real‑world home projects: how to choose an extra‑tall toilet, a 56–60 inch frameless door, and a 60×36 curbless base

A practical guide to picking the right bowl shape and seat height, confirming rough‑in and door opening fit, matching finishes, and understanding curbless shower tradeoffs—using Simple Project’s Botanic Noir bundles as concrete options.

The short answer

If you’re building a modern bath with an extra‑tall toilet and a 56–60 inch frameless sliding door, start with fit. These bundles use 12-inch rough‑in bowls, 1.28 GPF, and a 56–60 inch x 75 inch ANSI‑tempered single‑slider. Elongated bowls are more comfortable for most adults; round saves space. Note: 20.5–21.8 inch “extra‑tall” seats are for comfort and exceed ADA’s 17–19 inch range. For roll‑in goals, a 60×36 inch curbless base can be recessed for a near‑flush threshold; plan to keep the final threshold ≤1/2 inch and confirm clear interior dimensions with your local code/installer. Choose matte black, brushed gold, or brushed nickel hardware to match your faucets and pulls. If you want the 60×36 base included in the box, look at these brushed‑nickel bundle variants: Simple Project | Botanic Noir Bathroom - Oak / Black Elongated / Brushed Nickel & 60X36" White, Simple Project | Botanic Noir Bathroom - Oak / White Round Bowl / Brushed Nickel & 60X36" White, and Simple Project | Botanic Noir Bathroom - Oak / Bone Elongated / Brushed Nickel & 60X36" White.

Start here: the 5 fit checks that make or break the install

Before you pick finishes, confirm these basics.

  • Toilet rough‑in: Measure from the finished wall to the closet‑bolt center—these bundles are 12-inch rough‑in, which is the most common in U.S. homes.
  • Seat height needs: Extra‑tall bowls here measure about 20.5–21.8 inches to the seat. That’s easier for tall users and some with mobility needs but sits above ADA’s 17–19 inch range for public/common‑use accessibility.
  • Bowl shape and room depth: Elongated bowls are roughly 18.5–19 inches long for more seating surface; round bowls are about 16.5–17 inches to save floor space in tight layouts.
  • Shower opening: The single‑sliding frameless door fits 56–60 inch openings at 75 inch height. Verify wall plumb and allow for the hardware’s adjustment range.
  • Curbless planning: The 60×36 inch side‑drain base can be recessed to a near‑flush threshold. To target ADA‑friendly thresholds, plan for ≤1/2 inch finished threshold and confirm clear interior dimensions with your inspector/installer.

Toilet choices: extra‑tall comfort vs ADA height

All bundles pair a modern, extra‑tall gravity toilet with the vanity and door. Key details:

• Elongated options (Black/Bone/White) list about a 20.5 inch seat height, 12 inch rough‑in, 1.28 GPF, and a soft‑close seat. The round White option is about 21.8 inches to the seat with a 12 inch rough‑in at 1.28 GPF.

• ADA reference point: the ADA 2010 Standards specify 17–19 inches to the top of the seat for accessible water closets in public/common‑use spaces. These extra‑tall bowls sit higher and are not in ADA range. In a private home, many users simply choose what’s most comfortable for daily use.

• Space planning: choose elongated if you have the depth; choose round in very tight powder rooms.

    Shower door fit and safety: what a 56–60 inch slider really means

    The frameless single‑slider in these bundles is specified to fit 56–60 inch openings at 75 inch height and uses 5/16 inch (8 mm) ANSI‑certified tempered glass—similar to what big brands list for this class of door. Practical tips:

    • Measure at the base, mid‑height, and top to check for out‑of‑plumb walls; most systems provide a bit of adjustment to true the glass.
    • Tempered glass is designed to meet ANSI safety standards; always follow the installation guide for anchoring and glass handling.
    • If your alcove is a true 60 inches, expect some panel overlap by design; confirm the minimum/maximum overlap shown in the door’s install guide.

    Curbless 60×36 base: plan the recess, protect the threshold

    The optional 60×36 inch curbless base has a low profile (about 1 inch) and can be recessed so the finished threshold is near flush. To pursue accessible goals:

    • Target a finished threshold ≤1/2 inch (beveled) where required by code for roll‑in showers.
    • Confirm clear interior dimensions after walls/curb/door hardware—ADA roll‑in layouts reference 36×60 or 30×60 inch minimum clear sizes depending on configuration.
    • Coordinate framing, drain height, and waterproofing early so the platform recess and slope are correct.

    Finish and upkeep: matte black vs brushed metallics

    Matte black, brushed gold, and brushed nickel are all available across the bundles. Darker ceramics and matte blacks look striking but tend to show water spots and mineral residue sooner than white or brushed finishes. A simple maintenance routine goes a long way:

    • Keep a squeegee in the shower to knock down spots after use.
    • Wipe fixtures with a soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads and harsh in‑tank cleaners that can damage finishes and seals per common manufacturer guidance.
    • If you have hard water, a mild vinegar solution helps loosen mineral deposits—rinse thoroughly afterward.

    Which bundle fits your project? Real‑world scenarios

    Match a configuration to your space, users, and finish plan.

    All bundle options in this group (quick reference)

    Each includes the rattan‑style vanity (about 29.3 W × 17.9 D × 32.7 H), an extra‑tall toilet, and a 56–60 in frameless single‑sliding door; select variants add a 60×36 in white base.

    How these specs compare with familiar benchmarks

    • Seat height: Many mainstream “comfort/chair height” bowls land in the 17–19 inch range (aligned with ADA guidance). These bundles intentionally go taller (about 20.5–21.8 inches) for users who prefer a higher seat. Decide based on your household’s comfort and any accessibility requirements.

    • Flush efficiency: 1.28 GPF aligns with the EPA WaterSense efficiency ceiling for tank‑type toilets. If you care about MaP performance scores, note that some retailer listings for extra‑tall models cite “1000 g” as a marketing claim; 1000 g is the MaP test’s published maximum score. Always verify current MaP listings if that metric matters to you.

    • Shower doors: The 56–60 inch width range with ANSI‑certified tempered glass mirrors common frameless standards from well‑known brands in this size class.

        What buyers liked (from public discussions)

        From broader homeowner discussions about these categories (not specific to one brand/model):

        • Extra‑tall seating can make standing up easier for tall users and some seniors.
        • Frameless sliders with thicker (5/16 inch) tempered glass feel more substantial than thinner glass.
        • Matte‑black and black ceramics earn compliments for a modern look when kept dry and wiped down.

        Quick spec notes you’ll want handy

        • Vanity: about 29.3 W × 17.9 D × 32.7 H rattan‑front style.

        • Toilets: extra‑tall; elongated about 20.5 inch seat height; white round about 21.8 inch seat height; 12 inch rough‑in; 1.28 GPF; elongated listings note soft‑close seat.

        • Shower door: frameless single‑sliding; fits 56–60 inch openings at about 75 inch height; 5/16 inch ANSI‑tempered glass.

        • Optional base: 60×36 inch curbless, ~1 inch profile; recessable; non‑slip surface; includes flange kit.
