Toilets
The toilet is a significant appliance in
households around the world. Not only is it a necessity,
but it becoming a major fashion fixture as well. Toilets
come in a wide range of shapes, styles and colors. They
are typically made of vitreous china and come in both one
piece and two piece versions. A one piece includes the tank
and the bowl which are molded together during the manufacturing
process. The two piece version includes the tank and bowl
which are separate pieces bolted together during installation.
Generally, toilets are installed through
a floor mounted rough-in, but some models can also be wall
mounted. Typically, toilets today use a new standard of
6 liters of water per flush. With today's advanced technology,
certain toilets come with a dual flush mechanism that is
able to flush either 3 or 6 liters, depending on how much
is really needed. In addition, most toilets are available
in a wide range of colors to match your decor. Extra features
include built in fans, automatic bidets and different bowl
sizes. Generally, the bowl of a toilet itself comes in two
sizes, a standard or round rim. However, for additional
length and comfort, you can also select a toilet with an
elongated rim.
As with any plumbing project, if you decide
to use an existing plumbing configuration, you will be saving
your self a lot of money. For more advice on design elements
and layout, it is recommended to speak with an expert.
