In one popular cartoon there is such a phrase: "What technology has come to." Technology has evolved a lot, but plumbing does not stand still. What a person does not come up with to improve his life and provide himself with the most comfortable conditions! In this case, it came to the toilets. It would seem, well, what can be done with it? It turns out that you can do a lot, for example, to develop an attached toilet. Such a model would be appropriate in combined large bathrooms, and in small toilet rooms. By integrating a washbasin like this, you can create the perfect design for your own bathroom.
What does an attached toilet look like
The floor standing toilet bowl is a rather interesting design with a hidden and in some cases external drain system. At first glance, this is too complicated a scheme, but if you look a little, then everything looks simpler. To better understand what this type of plumbing is, you need to use the example of a familiar hanging toilet. For hisinstallations in the wall introduce a strong frame, inside which a tank with fittings and all other communications are advantageously placed. And the sink itself is integrated onto strong studs sticking out of the wall. The entire structure, with the exception of the toilet, is hidden in the wall.
The attached toilet is placed on the floor, and not hung with studs. Thus, there is no need to use a strong frame. The installation for such a model is a tank hiding in the wall and connecting cold water to it. Separately, you need to connect the sewer. Thus, we can conclude that the side-mounted toilet is a kind of hybrid of hanging and floor models.
Benefits of the innovation model
Toilet bowls attached floor have a number of advantages over old models of sinks. So, the main advantages can be considered such positions:
- All communications, including the drain tank, are hidden in the wall. This allows the user to create an almost flawless bathroom design.
- The side-toilet occupies much less free space. It is several times shorter than the floor accessory, and therefore additional space will appear in the room.
- Due to the fact that there is no need to hang the toilet from the wall, there is no need to purchase a heavy and expensive frame. Thus, the overall design is economically more profitable.
- Taking into account that the tank is hidden in the wall, instead of it you can attach a heated towel rail, a shelf or anyanother thing. In a word, the user can use all the free space in the bathroom as he sees fit.
Disadvantages of the attached structure
Despite all its advantages, the side toilet has some disadvantages. So, the sink itself will be inexpensive, but its installation, tank and other necessary communications will cost a penny. As a result, everything together can be very expensive. A hidden tank and the same communications are very expensive to repair and maintain. Replacing or repairing the drain system is rather inconvenient and troublesome.
The attached toilet bowl does not have the advantages that suspended structures have. Since the attached model is mounted directly on the floor, there is no free area under it. As a result, the room becomes more crowded and not so voluminous.
Materials from which side-toilets are made
The side-mounted toilet with a hidden cistern can be made from liquid or natural stone, faience, porcelain and other materials. So, of all the materials that exist today, faience is considered the most practical and cheapest. It's also incredibly durable.
The more expensive option is porcelain. In terms of strength and density, it is several times superior to glazed faience.
Today, side-mounted toilet bowls made of liquid stone are considered incredibly popular. Due to the fact that polymer concrete includes color additives, the sink can imitate the texture of natural stones.
Although infrequently, side-toiletsmade from natural stone. The cost of a model made of such material is quite high, and consumer characteristics are low.
For public spaces, stainless steel products are often chosen. Such metal does not break and is easy to clean.
Features of flush tanks
Bottoms for side-toilets differ from systems for conventional sinks in that they operate silently. In addition, they are distinguished by a stylish design and ergonomic design. The operation of installation systems makes it possible to integrate the built-in toilet bowl anywhere in the bathroom room. This design is characterized by hygiene. After all, the standard flush tank is the main dust collector in the toilet room. In built-in models, all the elements that are most exposed to dust settling are hidden in the wall. Therefore, the absence of dirt is guaranteed.
User opinions
In general, the side-mounted toilet with a hidden cistern has positive feedback from consumers. They love the compact design and especially how well it fits into small bathroom spaces. By integrating such a bowl, you can increase the space, making it more stylish. All users who have installed such models at home note this fact. People also like the huge selection of materials from which such plumbing is made. You can choose an offer that suits you moreeverything, and not be content with what you have.
