Cersanit toilets: range overview

In any home, the toilet is installed "seriously and for a long time." This is a rather expensive product, and its installation requires expenditure of effort, time and money. There is a great variety of proposals on the sanitary ware market, however, for several decades, the manufacturer Cersanit from Poland has held a stable leading position.

The Polish company Cersanit declared itself back in the 90s of the last century as a company producing high-quality sanitary ware, as well as ceramic tiles for bathroom cladding, bathroom furniture and necessary components (toilet seat, spare parts, gaskets).

Today the production of the holding is represented in various countries., including in Russia, in the Syzran region. Despite this, the bulk of products are manufactured in China. By the way, this is not advertised on the official Internet portal Cersanit.

The interests of the enterprise in our country are represented by its subsidiary company Rovese Rus LLC, and in 2010 the company bought out the Syzran ceramics plant, where it opened its production facilities, thanks to which the products became available to Russians. In our country, sales are carried out through an extensive distribution network, and already 4 years after the opening of the plant, in 2014 this brand became the most bought among our compatriots.

All products of this manufacturer are of exceptionally high quality., reliability, practicality and durability. Products meet all necessary sanitary standards, are made from environmentally friendly materials and are considered highly functional.

The key to the popularity of Cersanit sanitary ware lies in many factors.

• Almost all users note the aesthetic and attractive appearance of the toilet bowls of this brand.
• The models are compact and ergonomic. Many do not see the connection between modest size and convenience. However, the realities of life are such that most of the Russians have very small bathrooms, in which there is simply no place to “turn around,” which is why the question of purchasing a model that will be both small and cozy is especially urgent for them.

• High quality enamelled finish. This advantage favorably distinguishes the Polish company from numerous competitors, moreover, many of them should have learned the science of enameling from the Poles.
• The fortress of ceramics. The material from which the plumbing is made is solid and resistant to mechanical damage, you can be absolutely sure that with small external influences your "faience friend" will not be covered with deformations. You should not check its strength for strength and run after the hammer - if you hit with a very hard object, absolutely any product can crack.

• A multistage control system throughout the entire production line minimizes the risk of defective products.
• Highly efficient firing technology provides uniform color of the coating and aesthetic appearance. which remains unchanged throughout the entire period of use.
• The application of a special protective coating that prevents the appearance of bacteria and the accumulation of dirt - given the peculiarities of the operation of the structure, this property can be considered quite relevant and important for every family, it is quite easy to keep such a toilet bowl clean and tidy.

Obviously, everyone puts their own interpretation in the concept of “good toilet bowl”: for some, decorativeness is more important, for others - for practicality, and for many, affordability is fundamental. Cersanit represents the optimal combination of price and quality, thanks to which the models of this series can attract the attention of lovers of comfort, order and affordable cost.

The disadvantages of the model range of this brand primarily stem from the correct installation of the toilet bowls. If the technology has been violated, after a short period of time leaks occur, and the toilet simply fails. Therefore, any attempts to install such a toilet on their own can only cause an even greater expenditure of effort, time and money. The situation is complicated by the fact that there are quite a few specialists, as well as service centers, who specialize in working with the products of this Polish brand in Russia, so the elimination of any defect can be seriously delayed in time.

Cersanit products have been known to the Russian buyer for a long time. Having burst into the market of sanitary ware several decades ago, the company has established itself in the leadership position in its segment in a matter of years, confidently pushing manufacturers from other countries. The key to this success lies in the combination of the highest quality, stylish design and competitive prices. This allowed the Polish firm to compete with venerable companies from Germany and Italy.

At the same time, the composition from which the covers for the toilet seats are made deserves separate consideration:

• Duroplast - a special polymer film that firmly covers the entire product. It exhibits resistance to abrasion and minor damage, adheres well to the base material, thereby providing a warm and pleasant to the touch surface.
• Polypropylene - a material that is durable and durable, it does not absorb unpleasant odors, does not react with water and human waste products, and, moreover, prevents the appearance of stains on the coating.

Another feature that unites all Cersanit products is the functionality of the sanitary fittings. Like all the most modern models, the toilet bowls of this brand are equipped with a dual-mode drain and a microlift - a kind of closer that helps the lid slowly lower from the seat, preventing them from falling and bumping.

The wide range of models is another feature of Polish products. Here you can find standard toilet bowls, compact, original and also luxury models. In addition, the product line includes toilets for people with disabilities, which are equipped with additional handrails and stands - and not every brand can boast of this.

Many consumers do not attach much importance to the shape of the toilet, believing that the only parameter that matters is its functionality and smooth operation. However, the modern toilet market offers a wide variety of models that differ not only in design, but also in the principle of construction.

Cersanit toilets are divided into several types.

• Floor standing Are standard, traditional models familiar to Russians. They represent a comfortable seat, located on a low leg, and a drain tank is located behind it, which acts as a reservoir for water accumulation.
• Wall mounted - these models, in contrast to the floor ones, are more complex in execution, they require more labor for installation and installation.Such a product is located directly on the wall and does not come into contact with the floor in any way, so the model is in demand among those users who need free space on the floor. Technically, the design is a metal frame, inside of which the entire part of the device that is not visible to the eye is located, as well as the drain tank. This frame is covered with plasterboard and finished. Installation, as a rule, is carried out during the overhaul in the dwelling, and if we are talking about private home ownership, then even at the construction stage.
• Cersanit toilets come without a rim, distributes an attached version, as well as varieties in which a double drain is equipped. The choice of products is wide, so everyone can purchase a model to their liking.

Today, the catalog of the manufacturer's online store offers two compact models of floor-standing toilets and ten wall-mounted ones. In fact, the assortment list is much wider, it includes products for people with disabilities.

Prices for toilets, according to 2017, start at 9.5 thousand rubles - in this category are offered Economy models Trento, Just, Eko, Facile and Parva... In European countries, such models are also considered budgetary. By the way, suspended options belong to the same price group, if only the price of sanitary ware without its installation is taken as the basis for the calculation.

More expensive, but still affordable, models are presented in the collections of Carina, Nano, Senator. Their main difference from cheaper options is stylish design and some additional technical capabilities. For example, an anti-splash system or a lid closer can be integrated here.

Interesting observations can be gleaned from consumer information on the use of toilets by the Polish company.

• Buyers pay attention to the aesthetic and attractive design of toilet bowls. The tank has an original shape, a white polypropylene seat and a comfortable configuration. At the same time, the tank itself is quite ergonomic, you can easily place toilet paper, air freshener and fragrance on it.
• Users note that the models in most cases are quite heavy. However, this only contributes to the improvement of the consumer operational characteristics of the installation. The strength of the material, according to users, speaks of the high density of ceramics, which means the strength and strength of the product, and its durability, wear resistance and resistance to mechanical damage. By the way, this factor is key when choosing any plumbing, not just toilet bowls.

• In most cases, the ease of installation and ease of installation are noted, the tank is attached without any problems, the bowl stands evenly and stably on the support, does not stagger when pressed and does not make sounds when using the item for its intended purpose, and this is very important, since it is unnecessary sound often causes nervous irritation.
• Many users note that the drain mechanism works smoothly, no complaints about its functionality. Even those who have been using models for 2-7 years note that during the entire period of operation they did not need to replace any parts.

• Water flows out of the tank in sufficient volume, intensive flushing and removes all traces of human activity from the first rinsing, thereby significantly saving the total water consumption in the house.
• As for the disadvantages, sometimes there are some additional problems with their installation, however, most often this can be the result of the carelessness of home craftsmen who did not study the issue of installing the structure with their own hands well enough - while fixing the toilet bowl to the surface, many connect it with violations technology and this inevitably causes problems.

• Also, a number of users point to the imperfection of the installation and the need to replace its main elements. Therefore, for reinsurance, it is possible to recommend purchasing individual structural fasteners - in any hardware store they are presented in the widest range.
• A number of users note that over time, plaque develops on the surface of the bowl, so that this does not happen, it is necessary to regularly use special cleaning products that can be purchased at any store.
• Not all Cersanit models have a lid, so in some cases it will be necessary to buy it additionally, and this point also causes customer dissatisfaction.

• According to the masters, the installation instructions are very incomprehensible, this significantly complicates the installation and fixing of fasteners.
• A small percentage of consumers say that a few months after purchasing a toilet bowl from a Polish brand, water began to accumulate in the cistern with difficulty, which led to the need to purchase and install a new valve.
• Finally, many buyers had to replace the duroplast cover with the usual plastic modification during the first two years of use, since the first one was cracked.

Toilets, like any other equipment, fail sooner or later. Most often, the escapement or fittings and its elements, as well as the seat cover, break down. Breakdowns of the latter can be the result of improper installation and deformations that have arisen during the use of the system.

Most often, the first breakdowns make themselves felt after 6-9 years, and this phenomenon is considered normal. However, it also happens that the first problems appear already several weeks after the installation of the structure, and in this case a serious problem arises.

The fact is that despite the constantly growing sales market for Cersanit toilets, the technical support of this product does not keep pace with its implementation. The brand's goods can be bought in almost every region, but there are service centers not in every city, and the very call of the master under the guarantee complicates the too large flow of orders.

Unfortunately, toilets do not break on schedule. Often the problem arises unexpectedly and there is simply no way to wait for the master to come. In this case, you can try to fix the damage yourself with your own hands. Of course, not all problems can be solved with improvised means, but many are quite amenable to home repairs.

Sometimes the cause of problems can be a cracked cuff that connects the cistern and the neck of the toilet, in order to eliminate the malfunction of the equipment, you just need to replace the cracked rubber with a new one. To this end, shut off the main valve and turn off the water supply, and then remove the built-in cistern cover from the surface of the toilet bowl. Next, you need to carefully disconnect the inlet float valve, and also remove the fastening screw. The cuff from the toilet bowl is cut off with a knife, then the tank is set up with a shelf and the branch pipe is fixed to zero with its narrowed part about a third of the entire length of the cuff.

The extended edge of the cuff is pulled over the fixed branch pipe. In this case, it is previously turned inside out. Then the tank is returned to its place, the float valve is connected and the bushings with screws, as well as shelves, are installed, while the nuts should not be tightened very tightly. Only then the cuff is put on the neck of the container. As a temporary measure, when there is no opportunity to go to a hardware store, but there is a problem, a simple pharmacy elastic bandage can help. As a rule, the cuff is wrapped around it and the end of the tape is firmly fixed, prying it under the finishing turn.

As you know, it is better to prevent any problem than to fix it. That is why, even at the stage of buying and installing a toilet, you should focus on some of the operational features - this will significantly reduce the risk of breakdowns in the near future. Pay attention to exactly how the water is drained: it should be distributed in a circle, and if it comes off in any other way, there is a high probability that you have a defective product in front of you.

Before installing the tank and placing it on the base, cover the coating adjacent to the tile with silicone sealant. Otherwise, scratches and chips of the coating may appear. Before proceeding with the cutting of the pipes included in the installation, check the accuracy of the calculations.

If you have no experience in installing a toilet, then it makes sense to turn to professionals., which will carry out all work in strict accordance with the technical requirements. Of course, their services should be paid for. However, remember that a miser pays twice, and any flaw in the installation of the toilet can lead to serious leaks.

• Small toilets look stylish and practical.

• Traditional floor designs blend harmoniously with any interior.

• Pendant models are great in modern interiors.
