There are different types of toilets on the market: an outdoor compact or monoblock with a tank, installation with a hidden tank and a mounted or donning bowl. We suggest which option it is for you.
When choosing a toilet, in any case, you will have to consider the following. If you want to replace the old device without repairing the room, most likely, you will have to limit the model similar to the one that stood before. But if you are going to equip the bathroom (toilet) from scratch or upgrade your bathroom, you can safely take the model of any constructive type. Our task is to tell about the features of each of them.

Outdoor toilets
The traditional usual toilet with the pedestal, which is attached to the floor, is presented in two versions: a compact and monoblock. Compacts are supplied by manufacturers in two types. In the first case, the drain tank is connected in advance with the bowl, the kit is supplied in the package, the reinforcement in the tank is installed at the manufacturer and adjusted to connect. In the second - the toilet and the tank are sold each in their own packaging, to unite them in place of operation. In the monoblock toilet bowl, the tank and the bowl are poured into one design (often monoblocks are free and more expensive). In the domestic market, outdoor models are represented by Azzura factors, Catalano, Ceramice Dolomite, Lineatre, Hatria, Flaminia, Devon & Devon, Twyford, Duravit, Ideal Standard, Jorger, Keramag, Villeroy & Boch, Herbeau, Jacob Delafon, IDO, IFO, Gustavsberg, Svedbergs, Laufen, Roca, Sanindusa, Kolo, Cersanit, Jika, Vitras, Vidima, Santec, Della, Kerama Marazzi, etc.
Traditional outdoor units with an open tank are still popular. They are distinguished by a variety of design, including classic and retro.

note
An important detail that should be taken into account when choosing an outdoor model is a drainage device in the sewer in your bathroom. Vertical is typical for private and old apartment buildings. Spit is spread in houses built in the second half of the XX century. In most modern apartments - horizontal flow direction. The toilet must have a corresponding issue. Note that models with a horizontal release can be adapted to any system using adapter pipes. In attached models, the release system is only horizontal - into the wall.
The design of the classic Pompei model is inspired by the beauty of the ancient city (toilet without seats -10 thousand rubles, along with the dark seat - 19 thousand rubles). This choice will give the bathroom of the battery of elegance out of time and fashion. Photo: Kerama Marazzi

Traditional outdoor toilet bowls are still relevant. Users attracts stability and fundamental. Such a toilet form is less wetting from the point of view of installation. Adherents of traditional solutions, as well as admirers of classical and retro interiors in the modern Sanitary market will be able to find a worthy model of any price category. And the creative delights of designers when creating outdoor devices do not know borders. Forms, design and dimensions will satisfy even the most demanding users. At the same time, the toilet price is more dependent on the material from which it is made (faience or porcelain) installed in the reinforcement tank and seat material. For example, all the collection of kerama maraszi toilet bowls are made only from high quality porcelain clay (10 years warranty), Geberit gives 7 years warranty on the tank reinforcement, the seats are made of high-tech duroplast.

Potted floor toilets
Power outdoor toilets with hidden tanks are popular in modern interior solutions. In their designs, the drain tank is not provided for us, so that the paste the outdoor device looks modern. At the bottom floor monoblock, the tank, as in the case of mounted toilet, is installed in the technical space. Tacks for such toilet bowls have no power frame. They are either mounted for guide profiles, or tinted (if a wall of full-scale brick). Built-in tanks are compact (thickness 8-13 cm). Such models produce almost all firms specializing in the production of plumbing devices: Villeroy & Boch, Viega, Jacob Delafon, Laufen, Vitres, Catalano, Hatria, Grohe, Geberit, Tece, Sanit and many others.

Suspended toilets
The tendency to raise the toilet over the floor formed from the requirements of hygiene in public toilets, over the past two decades has turned into a leading direction in the design of bathrooms and toilets. The essence of the wall (console) toilet bowl is that only a cup and a panel (key) remain visible, and the rest (drain tank, the connection kit to the water supply and sewage systems, the fasteners system) is hidden behind falxt and is in the engineering module - the so-called Installation system. The hidden tank is made of durable plastic placed in the casing (the latter protects against the formation of condensate). Special drainage protects against water overflow with a faulty float. Access to the internal device, if necessary, is carried out through the mounting panel mounted on the wall. Among the attachments of compact models are much more, which is relevant to small rooms. For such cases, models are produced with a depth of 46.5 cm (the length of the point of contact with the wall to the front point of the bowl), for more spacious bathrooms - a depth of 60-70 cm.
Two main trends in the arrangement of a modern bathroom - mounted, or console, plumbing devices and the desire to make an invisible washing tank, eyeliner, stock.

| Benefits | disadvantages | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| The built-in installation system allows you to install the bowl bowl close to the wall, due to which the room is visually, and in some cases it really becomes more spacious. | Installation of falseland will require additional construction work. | ||
| The mounted device facilitates the cleaning of the bathroom, and in particular the floor under the toilet and around it. | Installation of mounted toilet requires additional material costs comparable to the cost of the device. | ||
| The layout of the floor tile is not disturbed. | When installing the built-in tank, it is necessary to install the coarse filters on the supplying tap pipes. | ||
| Hidden tanks have high sound absorbing properties. | The attached device together with the installation frame is often more expensive than the standard floor toilet. | ||
| The toilet on the frame withstands the weight of up to 400 kg. | |||
| The connection process is carried out to the available communications. | |||
| Variety of design, material and colors of the keys. | |||

Solution for a typical toilet
Integrating the mounting module directly in the sanitary wardrobe, you can save up to 35 cm. But for this you will need a special installation module. For example, Geberit Plattenbau (about 13 thousand rubles), designed to upgrade our small typical bathrooms.

Installation system
Manufacturers produce mounting frame modules of two types.
- For mounting on the bearing walls: such a frame is attached to the fundamental wall of full-scale brick or strong concrete (in no case from foam concrete or GVL).
- For installation on nonsensual partitions: If the wall or partition is made of lightweight material, we advise you to adjust the special mounting element, which is attached to the floor at some distance from the wall, and special fasteners additionally fix the frame to the wall. As a result, the entire load falls on the lower legs, that is, on the floor. The support legs can be adjusted, which makes it possible to more accurately set the height of the toilet bowl when installed.
The range of installation elements offered on the Russian market for installation of unitasis is very large. The price of the frame engineering module with a tank in the kit varies in the range of 6500-16,000 rubles.

Is it possible to integrate the mounting module into the capital wall?
Snaps prohibit violate the integrity of capital walls, so build installation with a tank for hidden installation into capital walls in the urban apartment cannot be built. Engineering communications are placed behind Fallest, located in front of capital, or in a specially built niche.

Access to drain fittings is carried out through the tunnel behind the flush panel. But the drainage fittings of tanks of mounted toilet bowls is very reliable. It is also necessary to consider in advance and ways to access the toilet device and communications, so that you don't have to dismantle the wall when an emergency situation occur. With competent installation of problems, as a rule, it does not occur.
