We understand which parameters are most important when choosing a toilet.
1. Material
People tend to buy a smart phone, a fur coat, or any other items of the most expensive and rare materials. And we are willing to pay for a lot of money. But at the same time they are often indifferent to the fact of what made the objects to which they touch each day is very important parts of the body.
The most affordable option - toilet, faience. It is not the highest service life (about 10 years), but this is not its main drawback. At earthenware porous structure, it is well absorbed in the mud. This toilet will have to be thoroughly cleaned so that it remained longer as good as new. But faience most inexpensive, they are suitable for people who do not want especially to spend money on the purchase of sanitary ware.
Porcelain toilets more expensive, but they are easier to clean and not so much to absorb odors. Such a product will last you longer and throughout the time of use to maintain the original appearance.
Most luxury options materials - marble and stainless steel. They are more reliable. These toilets can be attributed to the premium class. They look stylish and rather expensive.
2. mounting method
The two main ways to mount toilets: floor and hanging.
The most common option - floor. If you ask a random person to imagine and draw the toilet, it is likely he will represent such.
Suspended models - a different story. They are less common and due to the lack legs take up less space. It follows another advantage: it is much easier to clean the toilet room with toilet. In addition, suspension products look much more modern and accurate.
3. rim
Remember the old advertising detergents, which tells of the horrors under the rim of the toilet bowl? What can I say, even in 2019 it remains a problem. Most current models are still made with the rim. And it really is constantly accumulate bacteria, which then fall on the skin and clothing.
4. bowl type
Bowl - the inner form of the toilet. She may be:
- funnel;
- Belleville;
- Visor.
Disc bowl long been considered obsolete: because of the design features of wastes accumulate on a flat platform, this contributes to the spread of odors and difficult cleansing the bowl. More modern - funnel-shaped design. Unlike the diaphragm, it is much more hygienic, but it has drawbacks, namely a high probability of burst. The most common form of bowls - Visor. It perfectly cleaned by flushing, so you will need Yorshik in very rare cases.
5. flush type
Toilet bowls can wash away the contents of two basic ways. The first and easiest - horizontal. Water is the single powerful stream washes away everything in the middle. In this type of flushing bowl not washed thoroughly, and this can lead to contamination.
A more preferred embodiment - circular flush. Whirlpool washes the entire inner surface of the bowl and the contents carries along.
6. Additional functions
In modern devices manufacturers add LED backlight bowl to easily navigate in the dark, heated seats (for additional comfort), possibility of double discharge (for the most successful cleansing of the bowl), and even bluetooth-column (suddenly a certain kind of music helps you to relax). But there are models with really useful features. For example, toilets with bidet functionsTo help make going to the toilet more hygienic.
