Floor-mounted toilet bowls can also be divided into other categories such as: types of flushing systems, types of toilet construction, and type of drainage. All these elements influence how well a toilet bowl will function in the bathroom. After eliminating non-functional systems, you can move on to choosing a suitably looking toilet bowl.
Types of flushing systems
Toilets connected to water tanks have two types of flush mechanisms: start/stop and a two-button system. The first option allows you to control the appropriate amount of water during flushing. The first press causes the water to start flowing, and the second stops the water flow, which can be done at any time. Meanwhile, the two-button system. The first button releases 3 litres of water from the tank, while the second releases 6 litres of water.
Both systems allow for water-saving. The first system allows for more savings as you decide how much water will be used. In the second case, the ranges are fixed, and each time you press the appropriate button, a certain amount of water will be used. It is worth analysing these two options. The second option helps control savings when there are small children in the family who will use the small button to save water. Saving water is a very important topic nowadays, so it's worth starting to think about it, even in such mundane activities as daily morning routines.
Toilet construction
Toilet bowls can be divided into several categories: floor-mounted toilet with a rim, rimless, shelf type, or deep flush. The choice depends on what you expect from a floor-mounted toilet. The bowls are always made from high-quality components, differing only in shape, which is related to the specifics of use and cleaning of the toilet. It is very important to determine your priorities, which will help you choose the right toilet bowl for your bathroom.
A rimmed toilet is a basic solution, but it accumulates bacteria and residue. A rimless toilet is a modern solution for toilets, as it doesn't have a rim around the bowl or any other built-in edge, making them easy to clean. A shelf-type toilet eliminates splashing during use, as waste doesn't immediately fall into the water but instead lands on a shelf, which stops the whole process. A deep flush toilet does not have a shelf, and waste immediately enters the system and is flushed directly into the sewer. Manufacturers are releasing more and more shape options, so everyone can find something for themselves.
Type of drainage
Floor-mounted toilet bowls can also be divided by types of drainage. There are three options: horizontal, vertical, and universal. To make a choice, you must determine how the drainage is installed to which the floor-mounted toilet will be connected. This step is very important to avoid any later complications. Such important matters should be determined at the very beginning of bathroom arrangement, which facilitates further finishing decisions.
Horizontal drainage - the toilet is termed the Poznań bowl. This option should be chosen if the drainage is in the wall. Vertical drainage - here, the toilet is referred to as the Warsaw bowl. This is the case when the drainage is in the floor. Meanwhile, universal drainage fits both possibilities, although it is less frequently chosen. It is worth making a decision by specifying your needs and installing the floor-mounted toilet in such a way that it stands stably and fulfils its function for years.
