About Sterling
Sterling is a Kohler Company subsidiary brand (acquired by Kohler in 1984), positioned as the volume tract-builder and value-residential plumbing line. Manufactured in Wisconsin alongside Kohler products but engineered to a different price point — Sterling toilets, faucets, and showers are stocked at Home Depot and Lowes as the "Kohler-quality without the Kohler price" alternative. The toilet line includes the Stinson, Karsten, and Riverton series — primarily two-piece elongated 1.28 GPF models for new-construction spec houses.

About Rimless-Bowl Toilets toilets
A rimless toilet replaces the traditional under-rim water-distribution holes (where bowl-cleaning water enters during a flush) with a single curved jet that delivers water around the bowl from the front. No under-rim space means no hidden hideout for bacteria, mineral buildup, or grime.
On a traditional toilet, the rim of the bowl has a hollow underside containing 6–12 water-distribution holes that direct flush water down into the bowl. That under-rim space is impossible to see (you have to physically lift the bowl seat and bend down) and very difficult to clean.
