Convenience, by which it is customary to understand the bathroom and the bathroom, has firmly entered our everyday life. The plumbing market offers the consumer a wide variety and the widest selection 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 devices and unique mechanisms. Toilets of various types, bidets, urinals - all this is also a kind of discovery, designed to improve our life and ensure compliance with sanitary standards, protect our health.
Classification by source material
The items listed above are called sanitary ceramics. The main materials from which they are usually made are porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain toilet items are recognized to be more appropriate for their purpose, because their moisture absorption coefficient is much lower than that of faience, and the cleaning ability, on the contrary, is higher. Yes, and in terms of operational strength, sanitary porcelain has established itself as a more durable and durable material.
Classification by type and size
With all the variety of models and types of toilets, they are divided into three main types: compact, one-piece, "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 with not too spacious dimensions of standard city apartments, especially those built back in Soviet times. Another plus of the compact toilet model is that it consists of a separate cistern and bowl-seat. This design allows the failure of one part to replace it with another. For example, the toilet has leaked - a new one is bought, and the tank remains the same. There are problems with the tank - we replace it without touching the toilet. This saves money and the effort spent on repairs, and the entire toilet-compact system has been serving us for decades.
The undoubted advantage of this type of plumbing is that repair work can be done without breaking, without damaging the walls. In addition, modern plumbing is connected, mounted in such a way as not to violate the aesthetic appearance of the room: hoses, pipes and other auxiliary elements are reliably hidden, decorated. This is very convenient, especially with this option, when the
bathroom is combined with the bath.
The modern compact toilet boasts another important innovation, which is extremely economically advantageous - a dual flush system. Two buttons are installed on the tank, and, if necessary, the water from it is drained completely or halfway. Such a design is very relevant at current water tariffs and installed water meter control meters.
2. Monoblock toilets look good in the interior of a bathroom or a bathroom . They are also compact, aesthetically beneficial, because during installation all the "extra" details are masked, hidden and not visible to the prying eye. However, the cistern and the toilet bowl compact are inseparable, and if something happens to one thing, everything has to be replaced. Given this drawback, manufacturers are trying to produce products of this line so 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 - the most ideal option. In sight will be only the toilet bowl itself, hanging on the wall at a height convenient for you, and the elegantly decorated large drain button. The whole system is hidden in the wall. True, during the 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 compact dry closet. Such a toilet is simply indispensable in places where there is no central sewage system: in summer cottages, household plots, in rural areas, in cities on busy streets, in
summer cafes and terraces, on beaches, etc. Such dry closets as peat toilets are especially convenient and beneficial. . They are hardy in different weather conditions, frost-resistant, and peat used as a filler neutralizes all unpleasant odors and contributes to the processing of waste into compost. The market offers a large selection of such toilets of various types from the most prestigious manufacturers.
Some details
Equipping a bathroom in your home, it is necessary to take into account some subtleties. For example, you need to know that all toilet models are divided into two groups according to the type of water discharge: 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 - it means vertical; protrudes at an angle from the back wall of the bathroom - an oblique type of discharge; also protrudes from the wall, but at a right angle - horizontal drain.
