Let's be honest, the comfort in the washroom largely depends on the toilet. This porcelain or ceramic accessory plays an important role in the daily life of any person. From a well-chosen toilet a lot will depend. It should fit all family members, but at the same time, it should not take up much space in a limited space.
What role does the material play
Modern technologies make it possible to make a toilet bowl from almost any material. But, despite this fact, the classical approach is still popular. There are several reasons for this. Among the wide variety in the assortment, the consumer may prefer the following products made according to all international standards:
- Faience has an affordable cost, classic forms, but a limited service life.
- Porcelain copes much better with the negative factors of operation, the service life is calculated in decades.
- Stainless steel is suitable for public toilets and high-tech style.
- Cast iron, practically not used in practice.
- Natural stone, too expensive for mass production.
Important: the first two options are quite suitable for an apartment or a private house. Even in this case, the consumer still has a fairly large choice of toilet bowls. You can focus not only on the physical dimensions, but also on the methods of installation, connection to the sewer. Polymer toilet bowls are not popular, as they are quite difficult to care for.
Mounting and mounting options
It is not enough to buy a toilet bowl that is attractive in appearance and comfortable to fit in a house or apartment. It must be securely fastened so that in the course of daily operation there are no technical problems with it. The classic form is installed on the floor and attached to it with special bolts. But, recently, the suspended structure is gaining popularity:
- occupies a minimum of space in the room;
- much easier to maintain hygienic cleanliness;
- convenience in everyday use;
- Perfectly combined in a combined bathroom.
The only drawback of the suspended structure is the fact that it requires fastening to a load-bearing wall. An insufficiently thick wall partition will not physically withstand the loads that family members will create for the installation. But, the industry produces special steel frame structures that can approximately equally distribute the load both on the wall and on the floor in the area where the installation is attached.
