The arrangement of the bathroom is now carried out on a par with other rooms of the house or apartment. The owners are trying 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 occupy a prominent place among suppliers of sanitary ware. How does it differ from the products of other firms or enterprises of one concern?
Roca Product Benefits
Roca faience sanitary ware has an interesting, attractive design, ergonomic and reliable. Entire designer collections are available that can decorate and make any bathroom comfortable.
Roca manufactures its plumbing products in various configurations. These are separate products (bath, shower, toilet, bidet, urinals, wash basin, faucets) and sets of these products. Having bought them, you can equip your bathroom in one style. Although they are combined with products from other leading companies.
In some areas, the company's specialists apply unique technologies. This is the so-called “hot” enamel bathtubs.
Roca products have an optimal ratio of price and quality, which attracts buyers from many countries. In the price range, they are located between the expensive Laufen products 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 to equip the bathrooms of hotels and offices.
The company has enterprises and representative offices in many countries of the world. This contributes to the growth of demand and popularity of its products.
True, the products manufactured in Tosno (St. Petersburg) cause a large number of complaints. Either the toilet bowl is crookedly cast, then the tank does not cope with the task, then the color of the individual parts quickly changes from snow-white to yellow.
Toilet equipment
Roca produces toilet bowls:
- Floor standing.
- Outboard.
- Attached.
The toilet bowl has a double release. Seat with a micro-lift system that allows you to gently raise and lower the cover. When buying a toilet, you can choose seats with a soft lifting system, as well as ordinary ones.
Stainless steel mounts securely connect Roca covers, seats and toilets. But the reviews indicate that not all models are reliable. 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 people with a lot of weight.
There are complaints that the toilet with a Roca micro-lift creaks strongly. This, of course, is not a bed, but it still causes irritation.
Many models have anti-splash function. This is a special shelf inside the bowl, which traps the water and does not allow it to form splashes.
Roca installations
The owners try to hide from the eyes 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 to install the toilet not near the wall, but in the right place for the owner. Any wall-hung toilet with a Roca installation is compatible.
Types of tanks
Roca toilets have tanks with one or two drain modes. The first is traditional, with plenty of water. The double drain 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 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 full, 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 fill with water from a bucket.
Environmental Standards and Safety
Roca is constantly improving its production technology. They are made from environmentally friendly materials. They contain no harmful components. Much attention is paid to product safety, especially bathtubs.
Toilet bowls Roca Victoria
Products in this series have classic shapes. This includes a floor-mounted with a horizontal flush system and a Roca wall-hung toilet. There are two types of bidets: hanging and floor. The seat and cover complete the kit. The traditional design allows the use of the Roca Victoria toilet in the toilet rooms of offices.
Reviews are not particularly flattering to evaluate these models. It is noted that after flushing, the contents are smeared along the walls. Instead of the anti-burst function, a strong burst effect is obtained. The paper is washed off after a few taps. And everything that happened by chance (paper clips, nails) remains lying until the moment when it is stretched out by hand. Although, perhaps this is not so bad. After all, unnecessary items can clog the sewer. Yes, and valuable things that sometimes get there will not be washed off, as when using the "old reliable" toilet.
Toilet bowls Dama Senso
A kit called Dama Senso also has a traditional look. Its seat is very durable and repeats the shape of the toilet. Fasteners are presented as reliable and durable. There is a hanging toilet Roca (console) and floor options. But customer reviews indicate that the microlift mounts crack in a month or three. Repairing them is almost impossible. Some craftsmen manage to replace some parts, making the lid work. But not everyone can do this. Although there is a possibility of improper handling of the micro-lift cover. If it is forced to raise or lower, the lid will break.
There are complaints that yellow stains appear on the surface of the bowl, and it quickly gets dirty.
Toilets Roca reviews collect and positive. Many people like high quality earthenware. 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 practically no ordinary smell of sewage. These are the reviews of those buyers who are fortunate enough to get a high-quality, well-glazed toilet.
At the same time, there are complaints about the unpleasant odor that Roca floor toilet makes even after thorough cleaning. This is due to the fact that the bowl at the drain is poorly covered with glaze. Urine soaks faience, and getting rid of the smell is almost impossible. Unless with the toilet.
You can try to remove the tank and explore the junction. If there is a casting defect, you need to fill it with silicone. For many, such an operation helps to get rid of the smell.
Toilet bowl Roca Gap
Buyers like the look, shape, color scheme. Convenient landing and rising. But during operation, it turns out that the Roca Gap toilet has a very bad flush. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the tank is incorrectly adjusted.
Other models
One of the latest Frontalis collections has a rectangular compact toilet bowl that balances a rounded-out cistern.
In the product kit called Element, all lines are rectangular. The bidet of this brand looks the most interesting.
But not all Roca products are rectangular in shape. Semicircular and oval bidets and toilets are complemented by rounded sinks.
The original color scheme distinguishes Roca toilets from the Khroma series. Interesting design decisions are inherent in the Meridian and America models.
Installations
Good reviews come about the Roca Hall toilet with installation. Consumers say that the installation is rather complicated, but reliable. Easy to rinse and clean. Some consumers complain that the button on the installer breaks.
Reviews
A certain part of customers complain that the inside of the seat becomes yellow after several months of use. The place of discharge is poorly processed by the coating, so it becomes rough.
Customer reviews say that sometimes there are models with incomplete equipment (lack of gaskets) or with some kind of suspicious through holes in the front called technological sellers. But to understand why they are needed is not possible.
