Retro toilets: style features and manufacturers overview

Some consumers prefer diversity in everything. For example, do not resort to the usual method by installing a classic white toilet-compact in the bathroom, but install a retro model that will bring new motifs to the room.

The times when only standard models could be found in stores were long over. Now the market produces the most diverse products that are ready to meet the needs of even the most sophisticated consumers. The main thing - when choosing a model you need to consider a number of nuances.

Everyone knows that the best is the long-forgotten old. So in the case of a retro toilet - the hanging flush system may already have sunk into oblivion for most people, but there are those who prefer to return to the past and create original motifs in their interior. But everything has pros and cons.

There are advantages in the hanging drain system.

• The model has an attractive appearance and can be in harmony with a variety of design ideas.. The consumer has the opportunity to independently choose the coating of the connecting pipe: it can be bronze, gold, silver. Preference for a particular color is given depending on the chosen interior style. Gold and bronze, for example, are great for retro or classic, chrome for high-tech or minimalism.
• The pluses include intensive drainage - that is, due to the elevation of the reservoir, the pressure in the connecting pipe and the flow rate of the water can be increased.

Please note: this solution is ideal for apartments and houses whose residents do not tolerate a sufficiently strong water supply, after all, the mentioned features of the product compensate for the unpleasant situation.

• Another plus - the tank at the top saves space. You can choose a narrow tank if the space is completely limited. In addition, the tank can be adjusted to the desired height.
• The advantages include a huge selection of models - it includes a large gamut of color variations and a variety of species. You can purchase a design with water regulation and independently control its flow.

Do not forget that cons is an important aspect in installing a floor toilet with an upper tank. The product is more expensive than the classic, due to the connecting pipe. It is she who, after installation, can increase the cost of the work done to install the structure. The most expensive models are designer ones made to order. Although the barrel raised to the top will free up some space, the design is still considered more voluminous than conventional models. If you have a habit of placing a cabinet for storing trifles over a normal toilet, then with the installation of a high tank you will have to forget about it.

Please note: if the choice fell on a hanging retro toilet with installation, then you should know that it is difficult to repair, so it is better to buy a model from trusted companies. Replacing the installation can never do without a full repair in the toilet, because when you install a new model, the wall is almost always built up. The installation of a conventional toilet takes several hours, and with the installation it can take several days.

The consumer can choose the material that meets his requirements, because each of them is different, but overall has good performance. Tanks mounted under the ceiling are perfectly suited to the retro interior style, but they are distinguished by a high price. The final amount also depends on the material of the product.

It is made of white clay, the composition of the product is different increased strength thanks to feldspar and quartz included in the material. Its dense structure provides resistance to various impurities - just walk with a damp cloth and the toilet will look like new. Besides, reduced risk of unpleasant odors coming from the sewer.

A sufficiently dense material is a porous ceramic. This feature is explained by white clay, which is part of the composition. Clay has a high coefficient of water absorption. In order to minimize this property of faience, the toilet bowl is coated with a special coating in several layers.

Due to the additional processing increases the life of the product, in addition, its appearance is improving. The surface becomes glossy due to processing. Earthenware is lightweight, the material is durable and resistant to aggressive household chemicals. But, when choosing a faience toilet, you should pay attention on domestic manufacturers, since imported models are more expensive.

This material is practically indistinguishable from the previous ones. Its feature is its inexpensive price, which is suitable for almost all consumers. Plastic is quite lightweight, products from it are easy to install, in operation such a material is practical, but can be subjected to temperature as well as mechanical stresses.

To get a high-quality model that will last a long time, going to the store, you need to pay attention to all the nuances. When buying a particular model, consider: the simpler the design, the easier it promises. For example, curly toilets accumulate dirt in themselves, which is not very convenient, because this creates problems with cleaning. If finances allow, then you can buy an original retro toilet, for example, with heated seats or backlight.

It is worth paying attention to the method of flushing. The fluid moves in two ways: with circular and vertical discharge. The first is a uniformly flowing fluid from different holes located around the circumference of the bowl. This method is good in that all the walls are properly washed. But there is one feature - for this design you need a perfectly flat floor. With a vertical drain, water flows along the back wall (it all depends on the characteristics of the connecting pipe). In this case, the container must be cleaned periodically, resorting to the use of detergents.
