The toilet bowl with a shelf

Manufacturers produce toilets of the most different materials, shapes and designs, and although the eyes are confused by the choice presented in the stores, everyone is sure to find the most suitable option for themselves.

The toilets are divided by form:

• with a slope or canopy;
• with a funnel;
• with a shelf.

Toilets with a shelf, or as they are also called, plate toilets are considered an obsolete model, but if you want to buy them, it is not very difficult. It is easy to recognize them - in the bowl of these toilets there is a horizontal ledge. The main advantage of plate toilets is that you can sit on them quietly, and no trouble in the form of splashing will not bother you. Useful shelf and if you dropped the toilet bowl of any thing, say, a phone - to get it will not be a problem.

However, this is where the advantages end, and then there are disadvantages:

• Plate toilets are not economical water consumption.
• Often you have to use a scrubber, because the shelf is easily and quickly polluted.
• Water that remains on the shelf over time leads to unaesthetic streaks.
• From the bowl of the toilet you will often reach unpleasant aromas of washed off products of life.

Toilets with a shelf used to be common everywhere. However, today manufacturers produce other more convenient models, for example, toilets with a visor. Instead of a traditional shelf in these toilets provided slope, and it can go both in the direction of the back wall, and from it. This slope and saves a sitting person from the splashing toilet bowl. Such a toilet bowl does not sin unpleasant odors and does not require frequent use of the brush, because the waste almost does not pollute the walls of the product.

But most often manufacturers today give preference to the toilet bowl with a funnel. As can be judged by the name, in shape resembling a funnel, they easily draw all the waste into the sewer system and there is almost no need to use a toilet brush. These toilets are also characterized by low water consumption, you will not feel from them and unpleasant odors, but at the same time, the main and very unpleasant disadvantage - it's splashing and splashing, which this unit can throw the person sitting on it. And the splashes appear not only during the process of coping with natural needs, but also during the flushing of waste.

Toilets both with a shelf and without distinguish depending on the type of installation:

• Floor-mounted
• Suspended
• Monobloc

Floor standing toilets are a classic of the genre. They are most often and can be found in modern restrooms. The distinctive features of such toilets - cheapness and ease of installation. To install such a toilet, you do not need additional devices, which will be needed, for example, if you have chosen the hanging type.

If you are worried about the safety of the floor or you decide to equip your home with a warm floor, then you should pay attention to the suspension models. In addition, such models will free up more space on the floor in your restroom. They are attached to the wall with a rigid frame, and the cistern is placed in a niche of plasterboard in the wall. These models create a sense of lightness, airiness in the room, and therefore, if you avoid bulky - this is a great option for you.

Floor toilets also come with a compact cistern or cistern of such toilets can be hidden in the wall. But if you have a large restroom, you can not be too small and buy a monoblock with a very original design, which will decorate the room with its appearance alone.

Toilets with a shelf can be found in both domestic and foreign manufacturers. Most often they are produced by Polish companies. Quality models can be purchased from Czech, Swedish, as well as Bulgarian manufacturers of toilets. The prices for the toilets depend on many factors. But the most important ones are the material from which the toilet bowl is made, and the "promotion" of the brand.

The Italian manufacturers Jacuzzi, Catalano, Hatria, you can choose toilet bowls of unusual colors and shapes. Finnish Ido produces non-standard ranges with armrests, backrests. Among the Polish and Chinese there are many quality porcelain products at an affordable price. Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian companies produce relatively inexpensive, affordable toilets of acceptable quality, often from imported parts.

These toilets will last a long time, without causing complaints at its work. Among them are earthenware and porcelain models. Earthenware - budget analogue of porcelain, but their quality is lower and accordingly they need to look after them more carefully. But porcelain ones have an attractive appearance, they do not fear the caustic cleaners that have to be used for cleaning, besides, thanks to the fine-pored surface they stay clean longer.
