Bowl shape
The overall shape of the toilet bowl.
The choice of this parameter largely depends on the aesthetic preferences of the user and the overall design of the bathroom; however, the shape of the bowl is quite practical. So, in our time, the most common is
semicircular models, where the rear edge of the bowl is made straight, and the rest - rounded (oval, egg-like, etc.). This shape not only looks good - it is convenient to sit on, and the absence of angles (at least in front of the bowl) facilitates cleaning and reduces the risk of hitting the toilet with your foot. In addition, material on such a bowl requires less than a rectangular product of similar dimensions - as a result, semi-circular toilet bowls are relatively inexpensive and light.
The rectangular shape, in turn, gives a larger support area, which is important for users of large physique. However, toilet bowls
classical rectangular shape are rare (due to the high cost of production, as well as for some other reasons). Much more common are variations on this topic - the bowls
, with bevelled (rounded) corners, as well as
, with the front end shaped arc.
Water supply
Location of the pipe for supplying water to the toilet bowl. Modern toilets contain
lateral,
rear and
bottom water supply. In the first two types of pipes are located at the top of the tank, and the choice between side and rear supply in practice depends mainly on the location of pipes in the head and, accordingly, the convenience of connection. The bottom line is considered the most modern option: it provides a minimum level of noise when filling the tank, in addition to being easy to conceal, thus ensuring aesthetics.
Some models in our catalogue have combined signs of supply -«side/ bottom» or «side/ rear». This can mean both a versatile device, with the ability to select the type of connection, and a model produced in several variations different type of supply.
Weight
The total weight of the product; for compact-toilet (cf. «Type»), as a rule, is specified for standard equipment - together with «native» tank (empty).
When choosing floor models on this indicator you can not pay much attention, but for a hanging toilet bowl (see. «Installation») weight is quite principial: because the installation (or other attachment) should normally withstand both the design and the user sitting on it.
