Floor-mounted toilets are the most popular type of plumbing. This is a toilet model that is attached to the floor. At one time, this was the only option for installing plumbing. Now, the suspended type of toilets is becoming more and more popular, but due to various circumstances, many continue to prefer floor-mounted models. Thanks to the huge range of toilets, you can choose a model that suits any interior and meets any functional requirements. Let's figure out together how toilets differ from each other, what functions and design features different models have, and how they affect the price. Installation method All toilets, according to the installation method, can be divided into 3 main types: Floor standing Suspended Add-on Floor standing toilets Classic toilets Monoblock toilets Floor-standing toilets are classic models that are placed on the floor and fixed with dowels. The cistern is installed on the bowl, to which the cold water supply from the water outlet is connected. Floor-standing toilets also include a subtype called a “monoblock.” This is a type of floor-standing toilet, but in its design the tank and bowl are a single unit. This solution simplifies installation and reduces the number of potential leak points. Monoblocks are easier to maintain than simple floor-standing toilets due to the absence of gaps between the tank and the bowl, where condensation and dust accumulate. The disadvantages include a higher cost than classic toilets. This is due to the complexity of manufacturing monoblock products. Pros: Cheaper than other types of toilets Relatively simple installation Cons: Bulky appearance Communications are visible Difficulty cleaning around and behind the toilet Wall hung toilets Toilet without installation installation Wall hung toilets are installed on the wall using an installation. All supplied communications are hidden in the wall. Pros: Laconic design No visible communications Easy to clean Cons: Mounts onto pre-installed installation More expensive than classic floor-standing toilets Close coupled toilets This is a modern type of toilet that combines laconic design and easy maintenance. There are 2 types of close-coupled toilets: With hidden tank Tankless (pulse) In models with a hidden tank, the water storage tank is mounted in a niche or hidden in the frame of a prefabricated wall. Installation is simpler than in systems with installation. The bowl itself is installed on the floor. Tankless models do not have a storage tank. Water for flushing is supplied directly from the water supply system. And no installation is required for its use. The flush mechanism is built into the bowl and is powered by electronics that are powered by AA batteries. Tankless toilet Pros: Laconic design No visible communications Easy to clean Cons: More expensive than classic floor-standing toilets
