How to choose a floor standing toilet paper holder?
The owners of many houses decide on such a step as combining a bathroom with a toilet, so it is very important that all the things in them are located strictly in their places, creating comfort. An ergonomic arrangement has always been considered appropriate, because this way you can increase the space of the room.
One of the attributes that helps to optimally equip the bathroom space is the floor holder for toilet paper.
Features of choice
In order to dwell on a particular design option for this element, it is necessary to take into account not only its appearance, but also other features. The most important factors are the lifespan and the material from which the toilet paper holder is made. As for the appearance, there are a huge variety of models, each of which has a certain functionality.
Manufacturing material
These products can be made of metal, plastic, wood and other materials. Each of them has its own specific appearance, which should emphasize the interior of the room. Giving preference to this or that material, it is also necessary to take into account the properties with which it is endowed.
- For example, plastic has a low weight, it can be easily attached to any surface next to the toilet or sink, and it will not be difficult to clean it from dirt. Among its disadvantages are the high rate of fading, as well as the minimum resistance to stress, which leads to breakage if handled roughly.
- Richly decorated looks very stylish and truly unique wood holder. These models are perfect for connoisseurs of natural materials.
- Fans of presentable holder options pay special attention to metal models, which are preliminarily subjected to chrome plating or special spraying. These elements can last many times longer than plastic counterparts, but you need to take into account the conditions that can have a negative impact on them. For example, at high humidity, the deposition is destroyed, thereby losing its beautiful appearance.
Many designers recommend opting for stainless steel toilet paper holders. This design has an increased service life, but at the same time its price becomes overpriced when compared with other materials.
Endowed with special originality forged products that often consist of several fragments. All sorts of decorative elements are used to decorate them, which help to give sophistication to the appearance of the room. During the manufacturing process, the product is covered with a patina or painted with black enamel.
Manufacturing options are possible and from more unusual materialsin, for example, porcelain, however, there are a number of problems that the user of such a holder may face:
- high cost of the product;
- difficulty in manufacturing;
- minimum resistance when exposed to load.
According to the location of the rolls, all holders are made in two possible versions:
- horizontal;
- vertical.
Types of structures
Floor holders are recommended for installation in rooms of a sufficiently large area, where there is space for such accessories. Structures of this type are manufactured in two types:
- standard;
- multifunctional.
The standard holder is a stand that holds the roll of paper. Most often, these models are made of metal. The holders are practical, they can be easily rearranged to another place if necessary, they do not have a rigid attachment to the floor. The disadvantage of this model is the lack of protection against splashes of water that can get on the fixed roll of paper.
The holder of the multifunctional sample is a stand that is equipped with elements for fixing the brush, and also has a place for storing additional rolls of toilet paper. Among the advantages are compactness, the possibility of simultaneous arrangement of several items in one place and ease of movement if necessary.... Also, such structures can have a place for the location of the air freshener.
Models that resemble a basket in their appearance are considered very popular. Such products are most often made of durable metal, since they imply the placement and storage of several rolls at once, a brush, an air freshener, etc.
The classic option for most interiors is a rod on which rolls of toilet paper are strung. This creation looks great and is extremely presentable. A modification of such a product is a stand-holder. In this case, spare rolls are put on the core, and there is an opportunity to put a mobile device or other gadget on the additional shelf.
There are also products that are equipped with magazine racks. Currently, such models are losing demand, because the more popular and practical are those that are equipped with the latest technological progress, namely designs with built-in clocks, speakers or even a player.
