How to choose a toilet - video
According to modern trends in bathroom design, most toilets are installed in bathrooms without an external tank, and in general they are not installed, but “suspended.” Hanging models look more compact, are easier to maintain, and easier to clean floors. Wall hung toilets are more modern. And even almost all toilet manufacturers in classic style They also offer hanging models.
And here the question of choosing an installation for the toilet arises. It is necessary to choose a high-quality frame, a high-quality flush cistern, since these are the parts that are embedded in the wall, and then replacing the installation system is only possible by breaking the wall. We offer an overview of the most quality manufacturers installations, and flush keys are also included with the installations. If manufacturers rarely change internal parts, then flush keys, which were popular last year, are no longer produced in 2018. But the flush key is a part that can be replaced later if you want some updates in your bathroom .

No one can doubt the necessity of such a sanitary and hygienic device as a toilet. This delicate piece of plumbing is primarily made from porcelain and sanitary ware, although a glass or gold toilet will be made if you have a considerable amount of money. The toilet must match the sewer line, so when choosing, it is better to consult with a plumber which model is suitable - there are vertical, horizontal and oblique ones. The pipe can go into the floor or wall. Depending on the fastening, the tank is divided into compact and monoblock. The main thing you should pay attention to when choosing a toilet is the water drainage system. This will help avoid future problems such as discoloration, rust, unpleasant odors, splashes and noise.
A bidet is installed additionally in those bathrooms where space allows. In Muslim countries, guests will be more surprised by the absence of this item than by its presence. There is nothing shameful in hygiene procedures; it is even convenient. You can buy a bidet with an upward fountain or a model with a rotating spout head next to a faucet, which is more common. If the area does not allow you to install both a toilet and a bidet, then these two items can be combined into one. The first device is equipped with a double tip seat - for women and the whole family. It is worth trying the hygiene procedure once to understand the benefits of this device.
