HOW TO CHOOSE THE TOILET BOWL

What toilet bowls what they are made of and as their additional functions influence comfort happen, we will tell in this article.

Installation method

One of kinds of toilet bowls — the urinal. Most often they are used in public toilets — at stations, at restaurants or shopping centers. The urinal can be installed and at home if the room space but only as addition to a usual toilet bowl allows.

From little-known types of a toilet bowl it should be noted toilet bowls benches and toilet bowls bidets. The toilet bowl bench represents a wall suspended bench on which it is possible to arrange additional elements and accessories, with the built-in bowl for sitting. The bottom can be sheathed or closed by a low curbstone. The toilet bowl bidet is a toilet bowl and a bidet in one case.

It is possible to meet in use so-called bowls Genoa less often — toilet bowls which are mounted in a floor. Their installation demands big labor costs, but they are convenient in use and cleaning therefore they are still used in public buildings.

The children's toilet bowl differs from usual in the reduced sizes and lower landing. They are bought sometimes in families with small children. Except obvious convenience to the child, it should be noted also hygienic advantages: nobody, except the child, uses this toilet bowl.

For physically disabled people toilet bowls with functions of automatic washing off and self-cleaning of sitting, and also hand-rail and armrests are provided. Its height is, as a rule, higher than a standard toilet bowl. In public toilets the toilet bowl for disabled people can be equipped with an automated control system.

Material

Its cost, compliance to functional purpose and appearance depends on material of the case of a product. Most often toilet bowls make of sanitary porcelain or faience, metal and a natural stone.

Sanitary porcelain and faience differ from of what make ware, the increased durability. This material is most popular and available at the price.

Metal toilet bowls as steel and chromeplated, look strictly and expensively, are successfully combined with any finishing materials, but demand the accessories and fittings made of metal. Metal plumbing fixtures are, as a rule, manufactured to order.

Toilet bowls from a natural stone — there is enough massivna therefore demand strong fastening. Color scale depends on a type of a stone: granite, marble, onyx. The natural stone gives to the room luxury, products from him are also in harmony only with finishing from natural materials — the stone toilet bowl in a usual interior will look quite silly. Besides, the stone is quite fragile: from blows or falling on a toilet bowl of heavy objects on it chips and cracks can appear.

Additional functions

Additional functions and devices, such as the microelevator, anti-splash, anti-mud covering, existence of various modes of washout considerably increase comfort level.

The microelevator working by the principle of the autocloser allows to avoid loud cottons at opening/closing of a cover, and also prevents premature shaking of fastenings of sitting.

Function of anti-splash is implemented in several ways. The horizontal shelf at discharge detains splashes, but at the same time on it dirt because of the fact that the space behind the shelf becomes remote therefore the unpleasant smell appears accumulates. Besides washout in a toilet bowl with the shelf requires much more water. The funneled bowl also excludes splashes at operation, but such toilet bowl can be convenient not to all. But it is easy to watch purity of a funneled bowl. The bias of a back wall eliminates spraying of water from discharge, but each campaign in a toilet will demand use of the brush. An optimal variant — existence of the narrow and low located drain channel with a rim around, discharge at a back wall and a smooth bias of a lobby with transition to the shelf flowing to the canal.

Toilet bowls with an anti-mud covering have high hygienic properties. The special covering fills all possible time and microcracks in a surface thanks to what dirt doesn't accumulate and bacteria don't breed.

Washout in toilet bowls is made in two ways: water arrives the cascade or a shower. Models with dual-mode washout, and also the stop system allowing to stop repeated pressing of the button water supply are intended for an economical expenditure of water.
