When equipping a bathroom, carefully choose plumbing, carefully consider models that fit perfectly into the space of the room (it, as a rule, does not pamper its dimensions). And do not forget about your own convenience and comfort of your loved ones. The dimensions of the toilets play a decisive role when choosing equipment for the toilet. Among other important criteria, it is necessary to note the reliability, strength and durability of faience.
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, which, by the way, differ for models with a solid cast shelf and without one, is not all. Indicators vary depending on the design features, age, specific manufacturer.
Now let's learn more about each item.
Let's start with the age sign. There are children's products. They are lower, and their length is less (a little more than 40 centimeters). Such devices are installed in specialized children's institutions (kindergartens, schools), but if the size of your bathroom allows, 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 in the toilet a special stand for legs and a small circle disappears.
The sizes of toilets for the elderly and people with physical 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 equip the room with convenient handrails, which make it easy to rise and fall on the toilet seat.
As for the unified products, here diversity reigns. The dimensions of the suspended and floor structures are slightly different. Hanging equipment is usually shorter. Although here the dimensions of the toilet are divided: shortened, standard, elongated.
Attached products have similar characteristics. The absence of a visible tank, which is mounted in a wall or a niche, makes such structures more compact visually. Although their length also varies. There may be devices with a length of 60, 65, even 70 centimeters.
But nevertheless, despite the enviable properties, suspended and attached structures are still not the most popular. Let's talk about the most common option, such as a compact toilet. The dimensions of this device must be considered with the whole cast shelf on which the drain tank is attached. For this reason, the installed compact “eats” so much free space.
Responsible step
With factors affecting the size of the toilet, we figured out a little. Therefore, 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 we measure the room itself. Of particular importance is its depth. The length of the plumbing device is calculated from the value of the latter, 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, pick up shortened models. It is better if these are suspended structures or structures with a separate tank mounted on the wall.
