In one popular cartoon there is such a phrase: "What technique has reached." The technique has developed greatly, but the plumbing does not stand still. What can a person not think of in order to improve his life and provide himself with the most comfortable conditions! In this case, it came to the toilet. It would seem, well, what can be done with him? It turns out that you can do a lot, for example, to develop a flush toilet. Such a model will be appropriate both in combined large bathrooms and in small toilet rooms. By integrating such a sink, you can create the perfect design for your own bathroom.
What does an attached toilet look like?
The floor flush toilet is a rather interesting design with a hidden, and in some cases an external flush system. At first glance, this is too complicated a scheme, but if you look a little, then everything looks simpler. To better understand what this type of plumbing is, you need to use the example of a familiar hanging toilet. To install it, a strong frame is introduced into the wall, inside which it is advantageous to place a tank with fittings and all other communications. And the sink itself is integrated into the strong studs protruding from the wall. The entire structure except for the toilet is hidden in the wall.
The attached toilet is placed on the floor, and is not suspended using studs. Thus, there is no need to use a sturdy frame. Installation for such a model is a tank hiding in the wall, and connecting cold water to it. Separately, you need to connect the sewer. Thus, we can conclude that the attached type toilet is a kind of hybrid of suspended and floor models.
Advantages of the Innovation Model
Attached floor toilets have a number of advantages over older sink models. So, the following advantages can be considered the main advantages:
- All communications, including the drain tank, are hidden in the wall. Thanks to this, the user can create an almost impeccable design of his bathroom.
- The attached toilet bowl occupies much less free space. It is several times shorter than a floor accessory, and therefore additional space will appear in the room.
- Due to the fact that there is no need to hang the toilet against the wall, you do not need to purchase a heavy and expensive frame. Thus, the overall design is economically more profitable.
- Taking into account that the tank is hiding in the wall, you can attach a heated towel rail, a shelf or any other thing instead. In a word, the user can use all free space in the bathroom as he sees fit.
Drawbacks
Despite all its advantages, a flush toilet has some disadvantages. So, the sink itself will cost inexpensively, but its installation, tank and other necessary communications will fly into a penny. As a result, all together can be very expensive. A hidden tank and the same communications are very expensive to repair and maintain. Replacing or repairing the drainage system is rather inconvenient and also troublesome.
The attached toilet does not have the advantages that suspended structures have. Since the attached model is mounted directly on the floor, under it there is no free territory. As a result, the room is made more crowded and not so voluminous.
Materials from which flush toilets are made
An attached toilet with a hidden cistern can be made from liquid or natural stone, earthenware, porcelain and other materials. So, of all the materials existing today, faience is considered the most practical and cheapest. Moreover, it is an incredibly durable substance.
A more expensive option is porcelain. In strength and density, it is several times superior to glazed faience.
Today, toilet bowls made of liquid stone are considered incredibly popular . Due to the fact that color additives are included in polymer concrete, the sink can imitate the texture of natural stones.
Though infrequently, but toilet bowls are made from natural stone. The cost of a model made of such material is quite high, and consumer characteristics are low.
For public spaces, stainless steel products are often chosen. Such metal does not break and is easy to clean.
Features of drain tanks
Tanks for flush toilets differ from systems for conventional sinks in that they operate silently. In addition, they are distinguished by a stylish design and ergonomic design. The operation of the installation systems makes it possible to integrate the built-in toilet bowl anywhere in the bathroom room. This design is characterized by hygiene. After all, the flushing tank in standard execution is the main dust collector in the toilet room. In the built-in models, all the elements that are most exposed to dust settling are hidden in the wall. Therefore, the absence of dirt is guaranteed.
User opinions
In general, an attached toilet with a hidden cistern has positive feedback from consumers. They like the compact design and especially how well it fits into the small rooms of the bathrooms. Thanks to the integration of such a bowl, you can increase the space, making it more stylish. All users who have installed such models at home, note this fact. Also, people like a huge selection of materials from which such plumbing is made. You can choose the offer that suits you the most, and not be content with what is.
