Toilet bowl with installation which to choose

The choice of modern plumbing in our time is so great that when coming to a specialized store, it's easy to get lost in the models and designs of various items and devices. Therefore, intending to do repairs in the bathroom, it is best to understand the purpose in advance and arrange the necessary devices and accessories for it to immediately assess the possibility of their connection to the water supply and sewerage system.

Toilet bowl is a necessary appliance for sanitary ware, which usually changes during the overhaul without fail. There are two main types of toilet designs - traditional, that is, floor, and less common, but rapidly gaining popularity suspension option. The usual, all-familiar and time-tested device is installed on the floor and there is no doubt among users about its reliability. But when choosing the second option very often there are questions and one of them - a toilet pendant with an installation which to choose, so that it is reliable and durable.

Advantages of the

It should be noted that the suspension structure has a number of advantages over the traditional toilet. To such expressed advantages it is possible to carry:

• There is an opportunity completely to hide in a wall or decorative box all sanitary communications which often break aesthetics of registration of a toilet room.
• Suspension design eliminates the fastening of the toilet seat to the floor.
• In addition, the floors under the toilet are completely free, and this accordingly entails the following benefits:

- it is possible to install a "warm floor" system throughout the bathroom floor without resorting to complex bypass pipe, cable or heating mat configurations;

- the process of laying ceramic tiles on the entire floor is much simpler, eliminating the need for complex cut-outs in this brittle material;

- if the tile is already laid on the floor surface, you will not have to think about how to fix the floor toilet on top of it, without damaging the cover;

- the owners have the opportunity to unhinderedly clean in all corners of the room, which is very important for maintaining cleanliness in the bathroom;

- the advantage is also the compactness of the design, which allows to maximally use the small area of ​​the bathroom;

• The installation of a hanging toilet is the reduction of the noise level from the drainage of water, as the tank is built into a wall or a box.
• The system, as a rule, assumes two levels of intensity of a drain of water that helps to save considerably on its payment for water consumption.
• And, of course, the aesthetic side of the question remains extremely important - the hanging toilet bowls really look very advantageous.

To determine the choice of the suspension option, it will not be enough to get information about the toilet bowls themselves - it will be necessary to first understand what installation is and what it can be.

What is an installation and its design features

are installed. The installation is a frame system built into a wall or a decorative box on which all the elements of a hanging toilet bowl are fixed and a drain tank, Valves, water and sewage pipes, other devices or mechanisms. The design features include the following:

• The drain tank installed in the installation is made of plastic, not ceramic. This is done from the considerations that the polymer is always lighter than a ceramic product, which significantly reduces the load on the carcass system. And the external data of the tank does not go into calculation - it will not be visible anyway.
• The tank designed for this system differs from the usual one in that the drain button is on the front panel, while in traditional tanks, it is placed on top of the tank.

• . In the outboard system, the design of the drain button differs from the conventional tank in that it consists of two sectors, one of which provides a full drain of water from the tank, and the second - only half or even ⅓of the total. This is especially important in cases when water has to be paid for according to the water meter's readings.
• After complete installation of the structure, only the drain button and the toilet itself, attached to the weight, will enter the bathroom.
• There are two ways to fix the installation - only to the surface of the wall, or to the wall and the floor. Both mounts are reliable enough to withstand a weight load of up to four hundred kilograms.
• Suspended systems can have a set of toilet bowls with various modern shapes and a convenient system of water distribution when draining, which greatly facilitates the care of the bowl, and also retains its "new" appearance for a long time.
• It is very important to know that the dimensions of a niche or a box for plumbing installation should ideally match the parameters of sanitary elements. Therefore, when planning the acquisition of such a system, the place of its installation must be measured beforehand. There are models equipped with sliding upper drains, set to the desired width, but in this case the load on the wall will be significantly increased.

Selection criteria for the

toilet itself. To make the right choice of installation for a hanging toilet, you need to consider some of the features:

• First of all, you need to pay attention to the parameters of the place in whichit is planned to mount the system, because it is for them to be guided by the purchase of the installation. In the event that the desired size of the frame could not be found, it is necessary to purchase a model equipped with movable elements that allow the frame to be adjusted according to the parameters of the niche intended for it.
• If you plan to purchase a kit immediately with a toilet, then special attention should be paid to its design and workmanship. This element of general design is particularly important, and the criteria for its selection will be discussed below separately.
• Having chosen the necessary model of installation, it is necessary to carry out a thorough check of its configuration, since in the absence of separate parts it is sometimes impossible to make a full installation of the structure. The installation kit may include different parts, but it is recommended to purchase a structure with the following elements:

- bearing frame;

- a set of fasteners;

- the drain tank;

- the tank key;

- adapter for flushing knee;

- soundproof materials.

• It is very important to take into account the method of mounting the structure, as sometimes additional fixing parts will be needed to the general assembly.
• It should be remembered that for some models it is very difficult to find a replacement - this factor is also better to think in advance, having studied the feedback of customers. If one of the necessary details is not included in the factory equipment, it is better to immediately pick it up and purchase it together with the installation, otherwise it will be more reasonable to refuse altogether from such a purchase. Do not rely on the seller's words that the missing items in the bundle can easily be found elsewhere. Absolutely not logical - if it is not in the assortment of the store that implements the installation, it is unlikely that it can be picked up in other outlets.
• It is important to determine to which construction the wall will be fixed. If it is a wall, then installation of the installation is carried out with the help of anchor bolts. If they are not included in the kit, they will have to be purchased separately.
• In some cases, the flush button is included, but there is a possibility to choose another model, which is more like the design design or the presence of one or two keys on its panel. Which button is best to choose - will depend on the preferences of the buyer, but the double buttons help save on water consumption.

The main types of installations for the

hanging toilet bowl The installation for the hanging toilet bowl can be one of three types of construction. As they are arranged - it is necessary to understand more in detail.

• Block installation is a plastic tank, enclosed in a strong metal reinforcement frame. In the kit with this system there are necessarily fastening elements for installing the toilet bowl. Block construction is most often built into the wall completely, and it is used not only for hanging, but also for floor toilets.

The best option for the place of its installation will be a ready-made niche in the premises of a combined bathroom or a separate toilet. Quite often, as a niche, the back wall of the toilet room is used, which is then closed with a decorative partition of gypsum board.

This type of construction is mounted exclusively on the main wall of the room.

The positive aspects of a block installation can be attributed to its affordable price.

• The frame construction of the installation is a metal frame with high strength and reliability. Its installation can be carried out on a wall, in four points, either on the wall or on the floor.

To the obvious merits of such a variety can be attributed to the fact that it can be installed to any of the design of the wall. The frame is necessarily equipped with elements for fastening the toilet, drainage system and sewage outlets.

This frame can be fixed to a straight section of the wall or in a corner of the room. In addition, the design is suitable not only for the suspension of the toilet, but also for the washbasin sink, as well as for the bidet.

• Corner frame installations are used if it is planned to install a toilet bowl( bidet, sink) in the corner part of the room in order to save space. They are fixed on the wall or on the wall and on the floor. Their design is quite reliable and stable, but the price for such frames is usually much higher than the two previous fastening systems.

Overview of installation models for

hanging toilets When choosing an installation system for installation in a particular location, its design features must be taken into account. It should be remembered that the frame will be completely hidden in the wall or behind the partition, so there will be no permanent free access to it. And this, in turn, means that it is best to immediately acquire a quality product and reliably perform its installation in order to no longer return to this issue.

And now - the promised reviews, both positive and critical, of those consumers who have already tried these models in their bathroom.

• «Cersanit DELFI Leon» - installation with a hanging toilet, Polish production. Has an affordable price compared to other manufacturers, which even the kit does not include a toilet. The model belongs to the products of economy class, but despite this, it has quite positive reviews.

Customers had no complaints about the quality of fasteners and plastic elements. Problems can arise in the event of a breakdown in the mechanism of the tank, which can not be found, and it will be necessary to completely replace this element with a new one.

- it is almost impossible to find spare parts for replacement;

- to the collapsible frame there are adapters made of plastic.

• «GROHE Rapid SL»( 38750001) - this set of production in Germany. It does not include a toilet, so when you purchase it, you need to calculate certain costs for this accessory as well, since it is desirable to select and buy it simultaneously with the installation. However, despite this drawback, reviews about this product are more positive than negative.

The design has a powerful, robust frame with a high-quality anti-corrosion coating. Installation is fixed to the floor and walls.

To the conventional shortcomings can be attributed only one factor - this is a fairly high price, also with the fact that the kit does not include a toilet.

The advantages of this product include:

- quality assembly;

- design reliability;

- easy installation;

- possibility to find spare parts;

Explicit flaws, except for the high price, could not be formulated

• "Wisa 8050" - this installation of the Dutch production is reliable and stable in operation. Frame frame system - a powerful and heavy, so it is quite difficult to attach to the surface of the wall and floor, but if it is mounted in a quality, then in the operation absolutely absolutely there will be no questions.

"Pros" design:

- the presence of a toilet in a set with a lid equipped with a micro-lift.

- high-quality and reliable assembly;

- except direct, the corner variant of installation is made;

- height adjustment is possible, which is very convenient when adjusting the structure.

"Cons" models:

- a fairly high price;

- a rather complicated installation, which is further aggravated by the lack of a set of available instructions;

- the access to the service elements is complicated;

- it is very difficult to find parts in case of unforeseen damage.

• "Jika Zeta" of Czech production has "polar" reviews, and if we summarize them, we can conclude that much depends on the quality of the installation of the structure, but enthusiastic and critical comments - about equally.

Advantages of such an installation:

- complete system, that is, the presence of a toilet;

- fast filling of the tank;

- reasonable price.

- the set includes poor quality gaskets - it is better to immediately change them to others;

- postpayut complaints for not too high-quality flushing.

Buying this model of installation, it is necessary to choose a product of Czech manufacture - only in this case it is possible to get a quality product.

• «Roca Debba A34H998000 » made in Spain. Like other models, it has positive and negative feedback, which also directly depends on the installation of the system and, of course, on the originality of the production. In order not to get a fake of this design, it is recommended to very carefully check the documents that the seller must have. The system can be produced not only in Spain, but also in other European countries, for example, in Germany or Poland, but there are also Chinese parties.

So, to the positive sides, users of this system include:

- aesthetic appearance;

- comfortable seat;

- high-quality and quiet drainage of water;

- the flushing intensity is controlled by a double button;

- the design is convenient in cleaning;

- the toilet does not spray water.

The following are the drawbacks:

- the plastic fastenings of the microlift( if it is installed in the structure) quickly fail, so it's better to choose models with metal elements;

- cracking of the lid plastic was noted.

As a result of all of the above, the conclusion suggests that before buying an installation, especially when it comes immediately to the toilet, it is best to get acquainted with the information on it on the Internet, to study the feedback of users who are already convinced by their own experience as a concretemodel, learned about her characteristic "diseases".

If you buy an installation without a toilet, you should know in advance and how to choose it correctly.

Suspended toilet bowls

Selection criteria for the

The installation fixes the suspended and adjoining toilet bowls. As already mentioned above, the suspension model does not touch the floor, and the adjoining model is mounted on the floor close to the wall. Do not trust the common opinion that the toilet bowls are universal in their design, since they can have different variations.

To determine the choice of this design element, you need to rely on the following criteria.

• Better, of course, to purchase an installation complete with a toilet - then you can avoid finding a completely suitable model of the latter. In the same case, if you have to buy these items separately, you need to make sure they are perfectly compatible.
• Next, you need to draw on the material and shape of the bowl. Toilet bowls can be made of ceramics, metal, glass, polymers, artificial stone, etc. Of course, such a glass toilet looks outwardly interesting, but hardly practical
