• There are mounted modifications of corner toilets. When installing such products, it is important to consider that not every wall can easily support the weight of both the toilet and the full drain tank, as well as the person sitting on the device. If the basis in the room is made of drywall, then such equipment will have to be abandoned.

• During installation of a corner toilet, certain difficulties may arise. First of all, this concerns the nuances of the sewage system to the corner.

The range of modern corner toilets allows you to choose the best model for customers with any request and budget. Let us consider in more detail what varieties of such interesting plumbing can be found in stores. They differ in several basic criteria.

Choosing the optimal model of a corner toilet for a bathroom, it is important to consider what material it is made of. The operational characteristics of the product, as well as its service life, depend on this parameter. Modern manufacturers supply devices made from the following materials:

• plastic;
• china;
• faience.

Plastic models should not be afraid. Thanks to modern technology, acrylics make good quality toilets. They are additionally reinforced with fiberglass, a special resin. The result is simple and lightweight models that have a non-porous structure and a sufficient level of strength.

Beautiful porcelain toilets are recognized as one of the most durable and reliable. Such products are characterized by a long service life, resistance to mechanical damage. This plumbing looks more expensive, more aesthetic. White clay is used as the basis for the production of porcelain toilets, supplemented with special additives in the form of minerals of natural origin (feldspar, quartz).

In the role of the final coating, classic glaze is used.Due to this content, the structure of the material becomes minimally porous, and therefore it is difficult to maintain it. The main disadvantage of the products in question is their high price.

Earthenware toilets are rightfully recognized as the most popular and widespread. They are bought most often. Plumbing made from earthenware passes through the firing before the final stage of glazing. Due to the indicated production steps, Strong and reliable toilet models with minimal porosity. Mistresses do not have to constantly look after such products.

You can meet a little less on sale exclusive toilet models made of such expensive materials as bronze, natural or artificial stone, steel. These varieties cannot boast of great demand, therefore they are produced in limited quantities.

The type of bowl is another important criterion that you should pay attention to when choosing a suitable corner toilet. The convenience of plumbing operation, volume, volume of spray at the time of flushing depends on this parameter. There are 3 main types of bowls on the market.

Corner toilets with a shelf have many disadvantages. Since all stool products from the very beginning do not leave the stage of the device, a characteristic fetid aroma will have to be preserved in the bathroom, which will have to be fought. In addition, after washing off in the lion's share of cases, you have to work with a brush to get rid of all residues. A bowl with a shelf forms a water lock, in which liquid always takes place.

In the case of using water of poor quality due to the deposition of urinary salts, in the end there is a characteristic plaque, rust may appear. The owners will have to deal with such problems on an ongoing basis, using specialized means for cleaning the toilet. The water consumption of the described products can not be called economical. Their only advantage is that they almost never form a spray when flushed.

Such options differ in that when using them, you have to use the brush in very rare cases. A monoblock of this type is considered more hygienic and economical in operation, since there is no need to spend a lot of water to drain. There are practically no unpleasant odors, but at the moment of washing off enough spray is formed.

In products with a slope, a slope of the front or rear wall is provided. Due to this, similar toilets got their name. Due to the special structure when using this type of toilet repulsive aromas almost do not remain, because all waste is immediately sent to the water (due to inclined walls). However, a brush should be wielded here very often.

It is extremely important to consider the type of sewer outlet. There are 3 types.

• With the release of a horizontal view. It is relevant in the case when the bell of the sewer riser is located 5-10 cm above the floor.

• With a vertical branch. The optimal solution for a room where the sewer line goes towards the floor. With this type of arrangement, tangible space savings are achieved. But finding a sewage line of this type in standard apartment buildings can be found in exceptional cases.

• With oblique release. One of the most common and common options. It was he who was introduced to the market first. Models of this type include a bell, located at an angle or in maximum proximity to the floor.

The choice of consumers includes such categories of corner toilets as:

• floor;
• outboard.

Simple floor options are classic. They do not have special requirements for installation.

It will not be possible to hang such a device on a drywall base - the gypsum board will not withstand the impressive weight of the sanitary structure.

In addition, the following varieties are distinguished:

• attached - these options are placed near one wall, while they rely on the second wall, often supplemented with a round bowl;
• standard, triangular - compact models, placed in a corner in the direction of the bowl to the central part of the room.

Most angular toilets are small in size. This is due to the need to save square meters in the room, the formation of a neat interior ensemble. But this does not mean that buyers will not be able to find larger models for their home. Most often, products having such dimensional parameters as:

• width - from 34.5 to 37.5 cm;
• depth - from 72.5 to 79 cm;
• seat height - from 37 to 43 cm.

The corner toilet tanks are mostly compact and designed for a volume of 6 liters. These parts are sold both separately and in a kit, fastened with a bowl (such as a monoblock).

Experts advise buying only branded high-quality toilets. The range of such products allows you to choose the perfect option for every taste, color and budget.

Today, many people prefer angular toilets. Despite the apparent simplicity of choosing these plumbing devices, it is important to pay attention to a number of basic criteria in order not to buy a model that turns out to be completely inappropriate. Let us consider in detail what characteristics and parameters should be taken into account in the search for the optimal angular toilet.

• Design. First you need to decide which toilet bowl you need. If in the bathroom there are strong capital walls, then you can choose a suspended structure.If the room does not have such reliable foundations, then only the classic floor version remains.

• Production material. Pay attention to this criterion - it is one of the most important. From the material involved in the production of the toilet, its life and all characteristics will depend. Porcelain models are considered ideal, but they are expensive, so many people prefer more affordable, earthenware specimens. What to choose, each buyer decides for himself.

• The size. Before you go to the store to buy a toilet, you should measure the area of ​​the room in which it will be installed. For spaces that are small in size, you should select compact format products. If the toilet is large in size, then the toilet for it can be selected large. The main thing is to pay attention to how a person will sit on this plumbing device in accordance with the layout and parameters of the room (the user should not rest against the wall with his feet).

• Design. The toilet interior should not be overshadowed. Despite the fact that this is not the room where guests gather, it should still be harmonious, attractive. It is important to choose a toilet suitable for the overall color environment. The classic solution is a snow-white version. Beige and black models are also popular. If desired, you can pick up a color copy, but it should be entered into a room with a more relaxed finish on the walls and floor.

• Firm. As mentioned above, an angular toilet should be purchased only if it was produced by a well-known company with a good reputation. Experts recommend buying products made by foreign brands - they are always guaranteed, they are made from high quality materials. Foreign products are famous for their durability, reliability, but they cost more than domestic options. The toilet bowls of Russian manufacturers are also of good quality, they are cheaper.

• A store. To buy high-quality and reliable angular-style toilet bowls should only be in trusted, specialized stores that have a good reputation in your city. Products must be accompanied by all necessary documentation, quality certificates, which are worth familiarizing with.

A correctly selected corner toilet can become a harmonious part of the bathroom. It is important to select this piece of plumbing based on the style and color of the environment.

• Classic snow-white toilet with a high tank will harmoniously look in the corner of the bathroom, the walls of which are decorated with beige and blue tiles. On the side of the toilet, you can install a suspended white sink, hang a large square mirror above it. The atmosphere will be simple, discreet, but very neat.

• A small bathroom can be finished with large white or cream tiles, and a waterproof material imitating the surface of a chocolate-colored wood can be laid on the floor. In such an environment, you can put a white corner toilet, and in the corner opposite, fix a hanging white washstand. So that the wall between these parts does not seem empty, you can hang a towel there or separately arrange it with a small tile with a pattern.

• The corner toilet, the cistern of which is built into the wall, can become a spectacular component of the bathroom, trimmed with black and white tiles. You can decorate such a modern and stylish environment with a sufficient number of mirrors of geometric shapes on the walls, as well as inserts on the finish, having natural or plant images.

• A hanging corner toilet in a tandem with the same round sink will look great in a small room, where all the walls are finished with fine black tiles (like mosaics). In such an environment, the floor must be made light, for example, gray or snow-white. You can “brighten up” the interior ensemble with high mirrors on the walls, bright yellow towels on special holders.
