When equipping a bathroom, carefully choose plumbing, carefully consider models that fit perfectly into the space of the room (it usually does not indulge in its size). And do not forget about your own convenience and the comfort of your loved ones. The dimensions of the toilet bowls play a decisive role in the choice of equipment for the toilet. Among other important criteria, it is necessary to note the reliability, strength and durability of earthenware.
So what do we know about dimensions
Of course, you can find GOST and read in it what the "correct" height, length and width of the product should be. But the standard dimensions of the toilet bowl, which, by the way, differ for models with and without a one-piece molded shelf, are not all. The indicators vary depending on the design features, age, specific manufacturer.
Now let's take a closer look at each item
Let's start with age. There are children's products. They are lower, and their length is less (slightly more than 40 centimeters). Such devicesare installed in specialized children's institutions (kindergartens, schools), but if the area of \u200b\u200byour bathroom allows, then why don't you take care of your own child? So you will be calm for him, the baby in the child seat will be comfortable, and the need to keep a special stand for legs in the toilet and a small circle disappears.
Sizes of toilets for the elderly and people with disabilities are characterized by an increased length. It can exceed the standard and reach 70 centimeters. In addition to specialized plumbing, you will additionally need to provide the room with comfortable handrails that allow you to easily get up and down on the toilet seat.
As for unified products, diversity reigns here too. The dimensions of the suspended and floor structures are slightly different. Hanging equipment is usually shorter. Although here, too, the sizes of toilet bowls are divided: shortened, standard, elongated.
Add-on products have similar characteristics. The absence of a visible tank, which is mounted in a wall or a niche, makes such designs visually more compact. Although their length also varies. There may be devices with a length of 60, 65, even 70 centimeters.
But still, despite the enviable properties, suspended and attached structures are not yet the most popular. Let's talk about the most common option, such as a compact toilet. The dimensions of this device must be taken fromone-piece molded shelf on which the drain tank is attached. It is for this reason that the installed compact "eats" so much free space.
Responsible step
Factors that affect the size of toilet bowls, we figured out a little. Therefore, when choosing equipment for the toilet, we will take into account the composition of our family and the individual characteristics of each of its members. Then, with a ruler, measure the room itself. Its depth is of particular importance. From the value of the latter, the length of the plumbing device is calculated, which should be exactly half as much. That is, we divide the depth in half, we get the maximum length of the product. All models that are larger than this parameter are simply cut off. In the case of a tiny room, choose shortened models. It is better if these are suspended structures or structures with a separate tank built into the wall.
