Conveniences, by which it is customary to understand a bathroom and a bathroom, have firmly entered our everyday life. The plumbing market offers the consumer a wide variety and the widest choice of this type of product.
Plumbing Overview
The achievements of civilization can be considered not only the emergence of computers and the Internet, the creation of ultra-precise instruments and unique mechanisms. Toilets of various types, bidets, urinals - all these are also a kind of discovery designed to improve our life and ensure compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards, to protect our he alth.
Classification by source material
The items listed above are called sanitary ceramics. The main materials from which they are usually made are porcelain and faience. Porcelain toilet articles are recognized as more appropriate for their purpose, since their moisture absorption coefficient is much lower than that of faience, and their cleaning ability, on the contrary, is higher. Yes, and in terms of the degree of operational strength, sanitary porcelain has established itself as a more durable and durable material.
Classification bytype and size
With all the variety of models and types of toilet bowls, they are divided into three main types: compact, monoblock, “for installation”.
1. Toilets-compact, perhaps the most famous and common model in this line of sanitary products. Its main advantage is ease of installation, compactness and space saving. And this is very important given the not too spacious dimensions of standard city apartments, especially those built back in Soviet times. Another plus of the toilet-compact model is that it consists of a separate tank and bowl-seat. This design allows for the failure of one part to replace it with another. For example, the toilet is leaky - a new one is bought, but the tank remains the same. There are problems with the tank - we replace it without touching the toilet. This saves money and the energy spent on repairs, and the entire toilet-compact system has served us for decades.
The undoubted advantage of this type of plumbing is that repairs can be carried out without breaking or damaging the walls. In addition, modern plumbing is connected and mounted in such a way as not to disturb the aesthetic appearance of the room: hoses, pipes and other auxiliary elements are securely hidden and decorated. This is very convenient, especially with this option, when the bathroom is combined with a bath.
The modern toilet-compact boasts another important innovation, extremely cost-effective - a dual flush system. Two buttons are installed on the tank, and if necessary, water from itdrained completely or half. Such a design is very relevant with the current water tariffs and installed meters for monitoring the consumption of water resources.
2. Monoblock toilet bowls look good in the interior of a bathroom or a bathroom. They are also compact, aesthetically beneficial, because when installed, all the "extra" details are masked, hidden and not visible to the prying eye. However, the cistern and compact toilet are inseparable, and if something happens to one item, everything has to be replaced. Given this shortcoming, manufacturers are trying to produce products of this line in such a way that it is distinguished by special endurance during operation.
3. The system “for installation”, perhaps, from the point of view of aesthetics and space saving, is the most ideal option. Only the toilet-bowl itself will be visible, hanging on the wall at a height convenient for you, and a smartly decorated large drain button. The whole system is hidden in the wall. True, during repair work it will have to be disassembled, but usually such structures function without complaints for many years.
4.
And, finally, another type of toilet that has firmly and thoroughly entered our lives is a dry closet-compact. Such a toilet is simply indispensable in places where there is no central sewerage: in summer cottages, household plots, in rural areas, in cities on busy streets, in summer cafes and terraces, on beaches, etc. Dry closets such as peat. They are hardy in different weather conditions, frost-resistant, and used aspeat filler neutralizes all unpleasant odors and promotes the processing of waste into compost. The market offers a large selection of different types of these toilets from the most prestigious manufacturers.
Some details
Equipping a bathroom in your home, you need to take into account some subtleties. For example, you need to know that all models of toilet bowls are divided into two groups according to the type of water drain: vertical and horizontal. What kind of drain in your apartment can be understood if you pay attention to the sewer pipe: it protrudes from the floor and the diameter is wide - which means vertical; protrudes at an angle from the back wall of the bathroom - an oblique type of drain; also protrudes from the wall, but at a right angle - the drain is horizontal.
