Default plastic toilet

According to Larry Jaques :

Do they make plastic toilets for homes?
If not, why?


Durability, sanitization, resistance to cleaning chemicals, ease of
cleaning, ease of manufacture. It would be difficult, if not impossible to
mold one compared to casting with slip.

I can't think of a single reason that plastic would be better.


I vaguely recall reading that the plastic ones also sweat a whole lot,
causing condensation and rot problems for those houses in which they
were tested. The cold water in a warm house would do that after every
flush.


Plastic would be _less_ prone to condensation, not more.`
