Which toilet is better to buy
Glazed sanitary ware and porcelain are considered the best materials for toilet bowls. Inside these materials are finely porous, but their surface is very smooth and hygienic - this will not cause any special problems in the care. Porcelain, of course, will cost more, but the enamel on it is kept much safer.
There are stainless steel toilets - they are incredibly strong and durable, they are not afraid of constant contact with water, and the limescale on the steel surface does not linger.
And the most spectacular and, accordingly, expensive toilet bowls are made of artificial stone. After thorough polishing, the material acquires the necessary hygiene, that is, it is easily cleaned of dirt and microbes.
Before buying a toilet, look at the location of the sewer socket in the toilet - the release of the model you like is determined by him:
- if the pipe comes out of the wall parallel to the floor, a toilet with a horizontal outlet is suitable;
- tee mounted on a slope - need a model with a slanting release;
