Oskol Ceramics: Features and Model Overview

The choice of plumbing is one of the most important stages of repair and arrangement of an apartment. In addition to aesthetic qualities, it should be very comfortable and durable. Among domestic firms that produce a wide range of toilet bowls, Oskol Ceramics is in high demand. The products of this company are popular, in stores and on the official website you can see many variations for every taste.

The brand’s catalog contains not only traditional white toilet bowls of various shapes, but also colored ones: red, green and others. Their characteristics are quite diverse.

By the type of toilet bowl can be:

• outdoor - a traditional look that is mounted to the floor;
• added - It is placed on the floor, but the tank is hidden, built into the wall;
• outboard - This is a type of built-in plumbing, which not only hides the tank, but also includes the design of hanging the bowl.

In addition, toilets are divided into adults and children. There is also a suburban variety of this plumbing.

Another important point is the material of use:

• faience - the most budgetary and durable, the most common, but due to porosity it is difficult to clean;
• china - its foundation, like that of faience, is clay, but quartz is also added here, they are more durable, clean well, but the price is much more expensive;
• plastic - lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for summer cottages.

The choice of water outlet depends on the sewer scheme, it can be:

• oblique;
• vertical
• horizontal
• universal.

Another parameter is the type of tank, in compacts it comes in a set, but often the bowl and tank are purchased separately:

• the compact is connected to the bowl and is included;
• the tank of the angular type is designed for installation in the corner of the bathroom;
• monoblock design is represented by a cast product;
• mounted - connected to the pipe and placed high;
• recessed - hiding in the wall.

The shape of the bowl is very important.:

• with shelf (dish-shaped) - there is protection against splashes, but this option is not too hygienic;
• visor - with a bias to the wall, the most convenient to use;
• funnel - the drain is located in the center, convenient in terms of hygiene, but the water splashes.

Flushing system is another significant nuance:

• cascade type - water comes in a stream from one hole, uneconomical and requires frequent cleaning;
• circular type - water flows in two directions, washing the entire bowl, is quite hygienic, water is consumed less, such systems are more expensive;
• shower type - Water supply points are located around the perimeter, even more expensive, but very practical and comfortable.
