Views
Duravit toilet bowls are available in several types, which differ in the way they are installed and flushed.
According to the installation method, the products can be divided into two types.
- Floor standing... These models are fixed to the floor and can be installed at some distance from the wall. They have an external cistern and take up a lot of space. But it will not be difficult to establish them. It is enough just to fix the toilet to the floor using the screws that come with the kit.
- Hinged... This type of plumbing is fixed to the wall. The entire drainage system is hidden in this case. Such models look quite aesthetically pleasing, there are no unnecessary elements and clutter.
- Attached. This type of toilet bowl combines the first two models. Plumbing of this type is fixed to the floor, but at the same time, the entire drainage system is hidden in the wall. Installing such a toilet is much easier than the previous type, while it also does not clutter up the room.
According to the method of flushing, several types can also be distinguished.
- Compact... The most common model in our country. The cistern is installed directly on the toilet itself.
- Separated. Here the flush tank is attached to the wall and connected to the toilet with a pipe.
- Without storage tank... Here the toilet is directly connected to the water supply.
- With hidden cistern. Here the drain system is installed in the wall and closed with false panels.
Subtleties of choice
When choosing a Duravit toilet, there are several aspects to consider that will greatly simplify installation, save space, and be comfortable for the whole family. First you need to decide on the type of toilet itself. So the standard model, which is fixed to the floor, is not suitable for everyone.People who are taller than 180 cm should still prefer wall-mounted models, since they can be placed at any height. Also, the choice of model in this case depends on the size of the premises. Standard floor-standing models usually take up more space than pendant models.
Next, you need to determine the way to drain. It also depends on several factors. First, from the technical ones. For example, from the pressure of water in your room. So with a weak supply of cold water, a toilet without a flush barrel will not work at all. Also, for example, in small rooms it is not always appropriate to hide part of the room with a fake wall. Secondly, the choice depends on the stylistic solution of the room.
So in a classic interior a compact toilet is perfect, in a loft style a toilet with a separate flush system will be appropriate, and in a modern high-tech - with a hidden drain mechanism.
Toilet bowl shapes are also important. So rounded shapes are more appropriate for rooms decorated in the classics, but angular ones are more suitable for modern interiors. Toilets brand Duravit also presents models specially designed for people with disabilities, as well as a smaller series for children. Considering these nuances, you can easily pick up a toilet for yourself, which will not only be ergonomic, but also perfectly fit into the interior of the sanitary room.
