Keramag toilets: lineup, features and specifications

Currently, plumbing fixtures are subject to certain requirements regarding the appearance and sterility. This applies, first of all, toilets. Many brands are constantly improving the appearance and properties of toilets, but the principle of flushing remains the same. The changes occurred with the development of Rimless, which in translation into Russian means "without a rim." It made it possible to choose between standard and new products, which include, for example, a Keramag toilet.

The bezel-less toilet bowl was created in the early 2000s and was introduced to the plumbing equipment market. Japanese brand Toto. Among European countries, the country producing this type of toilet bowl was England. So, one of the companies in the UK began to produce products with a high degree of hygiene (without a rim) in 2007 for state healthcare institutions.

Subsequent developments led to the introduction of the latest Rimfree technology. It was first introduced by the Keramag brand. This trademark launched the production of bezel-less equipment five years ago, and now it is manufactured by many plumbing companies.

If we take the usual toilet and the one without a rim, then at first glance it is impossible to determine which developments were used for their production, because all their distinctive features are hidden inside and they depend on the desire of manufacturers to make sanitary equipment with a long shelf life and the most sterile.

With all the advantages of engineering and hydraulics, rimmed equipment has one significant minus. The rim makes cleaning and cleaning the surface of the toilet more difficult, which leads to the formation of dirt and smudges, in addition, microbes accumulate here, which causes the formation of an unpleasant odor in the toilet.

At the same time, the first option helped to partially eliminate the problem, and the second was pointless, because the use of strong cleaning chemicals led to the rapid abrasion of the dirt-repellent coating.

Then the experts concluded that eliminating the very source of the problems is more correct than eliminating the difficulties caused by it. Therefore, it was decided to remove the rim.

An important goal facing manufacturers and designers is to prevent the transfusion of liquids over the edge of the product. In standard products, the bezel was the limiter; Rimfree technology uses a special flow separator. The system used is very effective, this can be judged by the fact that most plumbing firms use this technology.

Like standard earthenware products, bezel-less toilets allow you to create an interior, following modern fashion traditions. Nowadays, manufacturers of toilet bowls offer the following types of products: floor, hanging, attached.

In order for the product to please its owner for a long period after installation When buying, you need to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each model.

Floor products. These toilets are the descendants of timeless classic models. And although their cost is more acceptable compared to the latest models, choosing them you need to pay attention to certain nuances.

• The size of the room and the subtleties of the decor of the toilet or combined bathroom. A protruding space with a drain device installed on it will take up to 0.4 m of free space, and this can be very noticeable for a small room.
• The effectiveness of the drain. Due to the fact that the drain tank is very low, the liquid has insufficient potential energy. This nuisance has long compelled equipment manufacturers to make calculations and simulate hydrodynamic processes. In products developed recently, the problem is exacerbated by the presence of a divider, which is an obstacle to the liquid path.

Citterio model made of sanitary porcelain, with horizontal drain, without a tank in the kit, belongs to the floor toilets.

The advantages of such equipment, which seems to soar in midair, are immediately visible. This design greatly simplifies cleaning. In addition, the use of such a model visually increases the area of ​​the room and makes the atmosphere stylish. There are disadvantages, it is a rather time-consuming installation and high cost. The pendant models manufactured by Keramag include the Renova model. It is characterized by horizontal outflow and the absence of a tank.

Accessories without a rim contain all the best features from the two previous models. Users, choosing a product of this type, note the reliability of the design, simple installation, efficient and economical operation of the drain system. The use of a divider and a reduction in fluid costs led to a decrease in noise, which for many years has been inherent in console plumbing. Such toilets manufactured by the Keramag trademark include the Icon model.

The attached models have the depth necessary for the full use of the anti-splash function, because of this, users appreciated the high level of usability. The tank for this type of product is hidden in the wall, and they seem as weightless as hanging products.

The positive characteristics of products manufactured using Rimless developments are:

• hygiene (a product without a rim makes it possible to increase the level of sanitary requirements, because there are no places for intensive reproduction of bacteria);
• ease of cleaning (now there is no need to perform many actions related to cleaning the product, but simply wipe it with a damp cloth);
• profitability (the use of a new drainage system makes it possible to reduce water costs);
• nice appearance (products look more aesthetically pleasing than standard ones);
• environmental friendliness (products containing chemicals hazardous to health are not needed to clean products).

The disadvantages include oversized items or incorrect bowl depth.

The responses to this product are mixed, there are positive and negative.

The positive include:

• flawless look;
• takes up some space;
• reasonable cost.

Among the negative reviews are:

• noisily picks up water and washes off;
