The arrangement of the bathroom is now carried out on a par with other rooms of the house or apartment. The owners try to pay as much attention as possible not only to the quality and functionality of the products, but also to their appearance. Products of the Spanish company Roca occupies a prominent place among plumbing suppliers. How does it differ from products of other companies or enterprises of the same concern?
Roca Benefits
Roca's faience sanitary ware has an interesting, attractive design, ergonomics and reliability. Entire designer collections are available to decorate and make any bathroom comfortable.
Roca manufactures its sanitary products in various configurations. These are separate products (bath, shower, toilet, bidet, urinals, washbasin, faucets) and sets of these products. Having bought them, you can equip your bathroom in the same style. Although they are also combined with products from other leading companies.
In some areasthe company's specialists use unique technologies. This is the so-called "hot" coating of baths with enamel.
Roca products have an excellent price-quality ratio, which attracts customers from many countries. In the price range, they are between the expensive products of Laufen and the cheaper Jika of the same concern.
A number of interesting technical solutions make Roca products indispensable in bathroom equipment. They can be used for arranging bathrooms in hotels and offices.
The company has enterprises and representative offices in many countries of the world. This contributes to the growth in demand and popularity of its products.
True, the products manufactured in "Tosno" (St. Petersburg) causes a lot of complaints. Either the toilet bowl is crookedly molded, or the tank does not cope with the task, or the color of individual parts quickly changes from snow-white to yellow.
Complete set of toilets
Roca makes toilets:
- Floor.
- Hanging.
- Attached.
The toilet bowl has a double outlet. Seat with a micro-lift system that allows you to gently raise and lower the lid. When buying a toilet, you can choose seats with both a soft lift system and regular ones.
Stainless steel fasteners securely connect Roca lids, seats and toilets. But reviews indicate that they are not reliable in all models. There are plastic fasteners that work for a short time.
Many people like the "monumentality" of Roca toilets, their rectangular shape. This is especially true for overweight people.
There are complaints that the Roca lift toilet creaks a lot. It's certainly not a bed, but it's still annoying.
Many models have anti-splash function. This is a special shelf inside the bowl that retains water and prevents it from splashing.
Roca installations
The owners are trying to hide from the eyes of the various pipes in the bathroom. If they were not previously embedded in the wall, then special devices are used for this - installations. They are used in order to install the toilet not near the wall, but in the right place for the owner. Any wall-hung toilet with Roca installation is compatible.
Types of tanks
Roca toilets have cisterns with one or two flush modes. The first is traditional, with a lot of water. The dual flush mechanism allows you to adjust the jet and make it optimal. After all, it is the tank that consumes a large amount of water. The tank is equipped with two buttons. By pressing one of them, a small one, a certain amount of water is released. When pressed on another, it pours out twice as much. Savings when using such a tank can be 25 liters per day. Although many consumers complain about the quality of flushing. They say that the tank is filled completely, but does not want to drain. Water flows in a thin stream, the button must be pressed up to ten times. Sometimes you have to pour water from a bucket.
Environmentalstandards and safety
Roca is constantly improving the production technology of its products. They are made from environmentally friendly materials. There are no harmful components in their composition. Great attention is paid to product safety, especially bathtubs.
Roca Victoria toilets
Products in this series have classic shapes. This includes a floor-standing with a horizontal drain system and a Roca wall-hung toilet. There are two types of bidet: hanging and floor. Seat and lid complete the set. The traditional design allows the Roca Victoria toilet to be used in office washrooms.
Reviews are not particularly flattering about these models. It is noted that after flushing, the contents are smeared on the walls. Instead of an anti-splash function, a strong splash effect is obtained. The paper washes away after a few clicks. And everything that happened by accident (paper clips, nails) remains lying until it is pulled out by hand. Although, perhaps it's not so bad. After all, unnecessary items can clog the sewer. And the valuables that sometimes get there will not be washed off, as when using the "old reliable" toilet.
Dama Senso toilets
The kit called Dama Senso also has a traditional look. Its seat is very durable and follows the shape of the toilet bowl. Mounts are presented as reliable and durable. There is a wall-mounted toilet Roca (console) and floor options. But customer reviews indicate that the microlift mounts crack after a month or three. It's almost impossible to fix them. Some craftsmenmanage to replace some parts, making the lid work. But not everyone can do it. Although there is a possibility of improper handling of the microlift cover. If it is forcibly raised or lowered, the lid will break.
There are complaints that yellow stains appear on the surface of the bowl, and it quickly gets dirty.
Roca toilets reviews are also positive. Many people like the high quality of faience. Consumers pay attention to the fact that it remains clean for a long time. The toilet seat quickly acquires body temperature, which is very convenient in the cold season. Consumers especially like the fact that the toilet has almost no common sewer smell. These are testimonials from customers who have been lucky enough to purchase a quality, well-glazed toilet.
At the same time, there are complaints about the unpleasant smell that the Roca floor toilet emits even after thorough cleaning. This is due to the fact that the bowl at the drain point is poorly covered with glaze. Urine soaks the earthenware, and getting rid of the smell is almost impossible. Is that together with the toilet.
You can try to remove the tank and examine the junction. If there is a casting defect, you need to fill it with silicone. For many, this operation helps to get rid of the smell.
Roca Gap toilet
Customers love the look, shape, color scheme. Easy to get on and off. But during operation, it turns out that the Roca Gap toilet has a very poor flush. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the tank is not adjusted correctly.
Other models
One of the latest Frontalis collections features a compact rectangular WC that balances out a rounded cistern.
In a set of products called Element, all lines are rectangular. The bidet of this brand looks the most interesting.
But not all Roca products are rectangular. Semi-circular and oval bidets and toilets are complemented by rounded washbasins.
Original color scheme distinguishes Roca toilets from the Khroma series. Interesting design solutions are inherent in Meridian and America models.
Installations
Roca Hall toilet with installation is getting good reviews. Consumers say that the installation is quite complicated, but reliable. Easy to rinse and clean. Some consumers complain that the button on the installer is broken.
Reviews
Certain part of the customers complain that the inside of the seat turns yellow after several months of use. The drain area is poorly treated with a coating, therefore it becomes rough.
Customer reviews say that sometimes there are models with incomplete configuration (missing gaskets) or with some suspicious through holes in the front part, called technological sellers. But it is not possible to understand what they are for.
