Toilet for installation: a modern and comfortable solution for a bathroom

An installation is a structure that primarily performs an aesthetic function, as it allows you to hide water and sewer pipes, as well as a cistern. In addition, there are a number of other advantages to installing such a system. Unlike a conventional device, in order to choose a toilet for installation, it is necessary to study a number of important issues.

Installation: what is it? Advantages and disadvantages

The installation is used in cases where it is necessary to install a floor-standing or suspended plumbing fixture in such a way as to mask its functional part in a niche. Several years ago, such systems began to gain popularity, due to the undeniable advantages of their use.

Consider the advantages of installing a wall-hung toilet with installation, including:

• visual appeal. After installing the installation, it is lined with materials that match the overall style of the bathroom. In addition, individual structural elements that are in sight can make non-standard design decisions;
• area expansion effect. Which is achieved by masking pipes, a cistern and the location of a compact plumbing fixture by weight;
• use of top quality fittings. The characteristics of the auxiliary elements that are used in such structures are due to the fact that the individual components of the working system are mounted in a hidden method.Due to the difficulty of carrying out repair work, companies that produce such products try to minimize the risk of an emergency;
• efficiency and economy. Toilet bowls, built into the wall, are equipped with tanks, in which water is supplied under a certain pressure. The pressure during flushing is quite strong, and the water consumption is strictly controlled by the system, which allows you to reduce financial costs;
• lack of noise in the cistern, which is masked by the installation;

• the ability to adjust the height of the toilet;
• the possibility of self-installation of the system.

Note! Today, there are several types of designs and many modifications, which allows you to purchase the most suitable option for a particular room.

Disadvantages of a wall-hung toilet with installation

Any design has its advantages and some disadvantages. Let's consider the main disadvantages of such a system:

• arrangement installations for wall-hung toilet Is a rather difficult event. For its implementation, it is recommended to have certain knowledge and practical skills in this area;
• to hide the tank, you will need to make a niche in the wall;
• another disadvantage is the inaccessibility of communications, which complicates the repair of the structure in the event of a leak or other emergency;

• rather high cost of the system as a whole.

If necessary, you can always use the services of a professional who will perform an effective installation toilet installation... The price of this kind of work is quite high, however, the possibility of a poor-quality installation is excluded.

What is included in the installation system?

Today you can buy an installation complete with a toilet. The complete set of this system includes 3 main components, which will be discussed below.

Installation... This structure is made of steel material, which is equipped with an anti-corrosion coating. The hydraulic piping of the plumbing fixture is fixed to the frame itself. And also special connecting elements - couplings are mounted on the skeleton of the structure.

A toilet cistern is connected to the system, which is a very important component. How it will function depends not only on the efficiency of the system, but also on its operational life. Therefore, tanks for these purposes are made of high quality plastic, which eliminates the possibility of corrosion and leakage. The flush valve gasket is made of reinforced rubber or silicone.

Note! Modern quality standards take into account the noise level of the cisterns, which should not exceed 17 dB.

Toilet... Installations are versatile designs and differ in compatibility with various plumbing devices. Therefore, there are no problems with the installation of both wall-mounted and floor-standing toilets. However, in the second case, the tank of the device must be able to be installed in a closed way.

Today, the range of hanging toilets is represented by many models that differ in material, shape, color and other design features. The most popular are products made of porcelain or faience. If necessary, you can purchase a device made of acrylic, metal, or even a glass model.

Before purchasing this device, it is highly recommended to read on the specialized forums about the various wall-hung toilets.Consumer reviews will help you choose the right model.

Flush button... As a rule, much less attention is paid to this element when choosing an installation kit. However, it is the flush button that controls the operation of the system. There are several modifications of this part:

• with "flush-stop" mode;
• with two flush options;
• contactless.

In the first case, it is possible to stop the flush by pressing the panel again. The second modification allows you to adjust the amount of consumed water and has two modes (normal and economical). Non-contact models operate on infrared rays and are the most expensive.

Flush plates, like toilets, can vary in design and color. Thanks to this, it is possible to select the required model for any bathroom interior.

Varieties of installations: photos and characteristics

Today, there are two main types of installations.

Blocky... The installation of such a system allows you to position the pipes and the toilet bowl behind the false wall and cladding. Due to this, the usable space of the room is saved. In this case, the installation of a wall-hung toilet is not recommended, since the installation of such a device requires a main wall. Installation of a floor-standing plumbing fixture is the best option for a block system, since all the load falls on the floor.

The design itself is a flat plastic tank, reinforced with fittings, which is completed with special locking elements. The use of such an installation is recommended in the case when the bathroom already has a niche necessary for the installation of the tank.

Frame... This structure is located in the wall and consists of steel elements that support other components of the installation. The frame version is great for installing a hanging toilet. In some cases, other devices are attached to it (for example, a sink).

Helpful information! The installation of a frame-type toilet is completed not only with standard fittings, which include fasteners for the toilet, but also with a system for draining water. Separately, it should be said that sewer outlets may also be part of the frame structure.

Toilet installations: installation options

The choice of the location of such a system is a serious event, on which not only the appearance of the bathroom depends, but also the convenience of its use. Consider the types of installations, depending on the installation location.

Corner... In this case, the frame is mounted, as the name implies, in the corner of the room. This arrangement allows you to save as much as possible the usable area of ​​the bathroom. Experts recommend using a corner toilet installation in confined spaces.

The installation of a corner installation for a wall hung toilet is also recommended to increase the structural strength. This is because the load of the structure is shared between the two walls.

Double-sided or partition wall... The peculiarity of the location lies in the fact that the installation is mounted on any surface that serves as a partition. This allows you to have a toilet on one side and another plumbing fixture (for example, a bidet) on the other.

In-line... An installation of this type is a long frame on which several plumbing fixtures are located. The linear method is convenient, however, it is suitable only for rooms with large dimensions.

Height limited... It is used in cases when it is necessary to organize a bathroom under the window.

Toilet installation: dimensions

The main factor that you should pay attention to when choosing an installation is its dimensions. Consider the standard dimensions of a block-type structure:

• width - 50 cm;
• depth - 10-15 cm;
• height - 1 m.

In turn, the frame version has the following standard dimensions:

• width - 50-60 cm;
• depth - 15-30 cm;
• height - 0.8-1.4 m.

It is recommended to select the height of the toilet installation individually, depending on the conditions of a particular room. For example, for installation under a window, the installation size should be 0.8 m.

Helpful information! In houses made of wood, experts advise installing smaller and wider structures. This reduces the load on the wall made of wood.

Consider the standard sizes of hanging toilet bowls:

• length - 50-60 cm;

• width - 30–40 cm;
• the depth of the bowl is from 30 to 40 cm.

The above dimensions are standard and are used in most cases. These sizes of toilet bowls with installations are ideally suited to the human anatomy and maximize comfort.

Last but not least, consider the standard sizes of cisterns:

• width - 50 cm;
• thickness - 9 cm.

The length of the cistern varies, depending on the height of the installation, as does the capacity of its tank. Today you can find tanks, the volume of which ranges from 3 to 9 liters.

How to choose a toilet installation: an overview of manufacturers

Today there are many companies that are engaged in the production of installations. Depending on the quality, consumer reviews and other factors, the most popular ones can be distinguished:

• Geberit;
• Ideal Standard;
• Grohe;

Each of the above brands is engaged in the production of built-in toilet bowls of the highest quality. The main differences between them are design features and price.

Characteristics and cost of installation for the toilet Geberit

The company is located in Switzerland and is engaged in the production of installations that occupy a leading position in the sanitary market. Embedded systems from this manufacturer are popular due to the fact that they are of high quality. This brand offers the opportunity to buy a Geberit installation with or without a toilet bowl.

Built-in structures "Geberit" consist of durable steel material, which has a corrosion-resistant coating. Geberit installations can have a service life of up to 10 years with normal use. In the event of failure of individual elements of such a system, it is possible to repair the installation of the toilet in the nearest service center, which are found in all large cities of Russia.

Installation of such a design involves the location of the drain tank behind a false wall. As an additional protection against noise, the installation is equipped with additional thermal insulation, which makes it possible to achieve almost silent operation of the drain valves.If required, you can purchase a Geberit installation with or without a toilet bowl.

Note! Geberit produces not only installations for various sanitary fixtures (bidets, washbasins), but also devices for non-contact flushing. Also in demand are sensor faucets, which are among the best on the sanitary ware market.

The cheapest installation "Geberit" with a toilet bowl in the kit costs about 16,000 rubles, and more expensive models will cost 20-30 thousand. The price of a system without a plumbing fixture ranges from 9 to 13 thousand rubles.

Features of installations Ideal Standard

Plumbing equipment Ideal Standard is produced by a German company that has established itself well among consumers. The value for money in this case is the most equivalent. Another advantage of the Ideal Standard brand is the variety of the model range - if you wish, you can purchase a non-standard, designer model of a wall-mounted toilet bowl with installation.

Embedded systems from Ideal Standard are best suited for installation in small spaces. This is due to the fact that they are all compact in size. Corner models of installations "Ideal Standard" are in special demand among consumers, which allow turning a hard-to-reach area of ​​a room into a functional and efficiently used point.

The designs from this company have other advantages, among which one can note the quiet operation of the flush valves and the economy of water consumption. The price of hanging toilet bowls with the Ideal Standard installation ranges from 12,000 to 37,000 rubles, and a built-in system without a toilet can be purchased for 7-10 thousand rubles.

Installations from the company Grohe

Constructions of this type are produced in Germany and are distinguished by their modern design. And also many buyers note another advantage of these products - ease of installation. All Grohe systems have the ability to adjust the height, which is very convenient and allows you to select the most comfortable location of the plumbing fixture, taking into account the height of the person.

The ease of installation of Grohe installations is due to their low weight. The individual elements of the system frame are reliable and durable. Due to their excellent performance, such structures are installed not only in private premises, but also in office buildings. Grohe built-in systems are suitable for installation in any part of the bathroom due to their practicality.

Saving water consumption, soundproofing when flushing, wear resistance, as well as a long service life predetermine the financial costs when purchasing such systems. The cost of the Grohe installation complete with a toilet bowl varies from 13,000 to 29,000 rubles. And the price of the system without plumbing is 7-15 thousand.

Characteristics of toilet installations Tece

Products of the Tece brand are produced in Germany and are distinguished by high quality and non-standard solutions. In the production of modules, high-quality steel is used, which is treated with anti-corrosion compounds (zinc and paint). Tanks in such designs are made of durable, wear-resistant plastic.

Helpful information! Separately, it should be said that the buttons and control keys for Tece systems are presented in various variations. Such an assortment of shapes and colors cannot be found in other companies that produce this equipment.

Installation of the Tece installation is simple, and the attractive design allows you to decorate the bathroom.Modules from this company are produced according to their own technologies and are rightfully considered unique. The cost of a complete set from this manufacturer ranges from 19,000 to 30,000 rubles. And the price of installing a toilet bowl without a device varies from 9 to 23 thousand rubles.

How to choose a toilet installationresting on the installation site

Each bathroom has its own individual characteristics and limitations. Depending on them, the optimal place for the installation is selected. In addition to standard modules with toilets, there is a choice of more specialized ones (for example, partition walls).

Standard models of installations are traditionally installed in bathrooms, which have no restrictions on the height, width and depth of installation. The flush plate is installed frontally (on a vertical surface) in standard systems.

The most common dimensions for standard modules:

• height - 112 cm;
• width - 50 cm;
• depth - 12 cm.

When installing a toilet installation under a window or roof slope, you must pay attention to the size of the system. Many buyers think that in such a situation there is a need for self-adjusting the dimensions of the frame for a specific installation location, however, this is not the case. Today, many companies are engaged in the production of modules with a shortened frame (80 cm). Among them, the most popular are Geberit, Grohe and Tece.

Corner installations are traditionally used in rooms with limited free space. Also, such modules can be purchased if there is no possibility of installing the system in another part of the bathroom. The sizes of corner toilets for installation can be very different, therefore, before installing them, it is recommended to carry out all the necessary measurements of the place. The minimum area required for the installation of such a device is 2 m².

Installations installed in a line are recommended for spacious bathrooms. Thanks to this design, you can easily position the toilet, bidet and washbasin side by side (combined version). Toilets with installations of this type look very impressive and stylish.

Systems that are installed on both sides of the partition are distinguished by their massiveness and high strength characteristics. They can be mounted on false walls made of plasterboard or any other material. The control button in such modules is located horizontally (on top of the partition).

Note! Modules for installation on partitions from Sanela are very popular.

Installations for panel houses Geberit

Separately, it is worth considering the models for panel houses, which are produced by Geberit. Standard systems from various brands are characterized by poor compatibility with sanitary facilities in panel houses. Therefore, this manufacturer decided to release an individual model for installation in standard plumbing boxes for panel buildings.

The problems of installing standard installations in panel houses are associated with two factors, which are recommended to pay attention to:

• insufficient length of the fixing elements, which does not allow fixing the structure to the wall;
• standard fasteners fall on the pipes, which interferes with their installation.

The German company Geberit has solved this problem by developing a special line of Plattenbau installations. These products are intended for installation in post-Soviet conditions.

Wall hung toilet size with the Plattenbau installation is standard, however, the length of the retaining elements in such modules has increased from 20 to 50 cm. And also another change was made to this design - the ability to adjust the position of the retaining bar. The cost of the Plattenbau module varies from 11 to 19 thousand rubles.

Which is better buy toilet: hanging or outdoor?

To answer the question of which toilet is better to buy for installation, it is necessary to make out a number of important points. As mentioned above, both floor-standing and wall-mounted toilet bowls are suitable for installation on an installation. Both of these types differ from conventional plumbing fixtures in that they have a special, "hidden" design of the drain tank. If the toilet is purchased separately from the module itself, then you need to be very careful to choose a device compatible with the system.

For installation, it is recommended to purchase a suspended model of a plumbing fixture, since it has the following advantages:

• the compactness of the hanging toilet allows you to save the useful area of ​​the bathroom, which is an important factor (especially for small rooms);
• the location of the plumbing fixture by weight greatly simplifies cleaning the floor in the room;

• a wide range of models, thanks to which everyone can choose the necessary device for a particular bathroom interior.

It is very important that the toilet is compatible with additional automatic systems of construction. It is best to consult with professionals and provide them with drawings and a technical description of the installation. The wizards will help you with the necessary plumbing device for a specific system.

Helpful information! When purchasing a non-contact flush system, you need to check if its sensors fit the toilet.

Before buying a plumbing fixture, it is also recommended to pay attention to the design of its cover, which can be of two types:

• ordinary;
• with "semi-lift".

Devices of the second type are equipped with a special mechanism that is responsible for smooth closing. This eliminates the frequent collapse damage that occurs.

In terms of aesthetics, wall-hung toilets bypass floor-standing ones. And they also have many other advantages, including: a wide range, economical distribution of water when draining and the ability to adjust the seat height (in some models).

Before buying a particular model, it is recommended to visit specialized sites where you can read reviews about it. Toilets with installation have a rather complex design, so the choice of such a module must be approached with all seriousness.

Toilet for installation: choice of design

After choosing the manufacturer and type of installation, as well as the toilet, you can start determining the shape and color of the plumbing fixture. This stage is quite important, since it determines how organic the finished structure will look in the interior of the bathroom.

As a rule, a standard white color of the bowl is selected. In most cases, this is a safe bet, as a white toilet will look equally good in any interior. However, if you wish, you can choose more exotic options (for example, bright acidic shades).

In addition to coloring, the device can have a certain pattern in the form of flowers or any other elements. It can be ordered individually to match the cladding of the installation. Photos of toilets, which have different shapes and colors, can be easily found on the Internet using your browser's search engine. Visual examination can help ease this difficult choice.

Another important factor that can be attributed to design features is the shape of the device. Depending on this indicator, the following types of bowls are distinguished:

• round;
• oval;
• square;
• square with rounded corners.

The choice of bowl shape depends solely on your preferences and design features of a particular bathroom.

Helpful information! Models that have traditional, rounded shapes are much more convenient to wash than non-standard products with sharp corners.

Experts advise buying toilets, the design of which assumes a gentle slope in the direction of the exit. And also much easier, in terms of care, are the models that do not have a rim.

How to choose a button by type of flush: tips and photos

The flush type determines the purpose and operating conditions of the button. For example, for installation in private homes, conventional keys or flush-stop models are most often used. In the second case, it becomes possible to independently regulate the amount of flushed water, which saves money.

Devices that have two flush options are also very popular with consumers. In this case, there is an automatic regulation of the amount of flushed liquid. Typically, the settings for each of the modes depend on the brand that manufactures the product. Thus, for large and small flushes, an individual lower or upper threshold is determined, which affects the efficiency of water saving.

The amount of liquid used in a large flush ranges from 4.5 to 9 liters. The volume of the drain tank also has a huge impact on this indicator. Manufacturers most often sell products with a standard setting, which involves flushing 6 liters of water.

With a low flush, the amount of fluid used varies from 2.5 to 4.5 liters. The standard setting in this case is 3 liters. In order to independently adjust this indicator, you must use the instructions that come with each device.

It is imperative to take into account the fact that the flush plate and the installation must be of the same brand. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to achieve compatibility of these elements. It is also worth mentioning that in some cases the flush button does not even fit into other lines of systems and is combined with only one, individual frame structure.

You can buy a toilet installation, which includes a button with two flush options, in a specialized store or order online.

Benefits of choosing proximity keys

Separately, it should be said about the contactless models of flush buttons. Due to their design and operational features, these devices are an excellent option for installation in public toilets. The system, which is triggered by infrared sensors, avoids the need to touch the panel surface.

Proximity buttons installed in public places allow not only to ensure the hygiene of the use of plumbing, but also to correctly distribute the water consumption. Of the disadvantages of such devices, one main one can be distinguished - they may not work. This happens in rare cases if the infrared beam hits a cold object or mirror surface.

Note! Such flush buttons are very popular when decorating bathrooms in a modern style. They are combined with high-tech and minimalist interiors.

Today you can find contactless devices that are equipped with additional functions. For example, they are able to freshen the air and remove unpleasant odors by distilling the air through a carbon filter. When the filter becomes dirty, the system reports this and it is replaced, which is easy to do with your own hands.

Buy installation with a toilet included: benefits

In order not to make mistakes when choosing a system that includes a plumbing fixture, it is recommended to carefully familiarize yourself with the kits from all existing manufacturers. And also weigh all the pros and cons of buying a certain set.

There are undeniable advantages of purchasing a kit (installation and toilet):

• the main plus of buying such a set is the complementarity of individual elements. This means that you do not have to waste time choosing the appropriate components of the installation complex;
• the second advantage of buying a complete set is that all the necessary parts are available. Among them: a frame, a drain container, a toilet, a seat, a flush button. In some cases, the manufacturer supplements such a set with insulating material;
• large companies often assemble such sets themselves, including individual elements of different brands in them. For example, the installation may be from one well-known manufacturer, and the toilet from another. Such products are sold in most cases as promotional products. Thus, it becomes possible to purchase a ready-made kit at a discount. And also it should be said that often additional elements are attached to such sets as a gift (for example, noise insulation).

The purchase of an installation with a toilet bowl in the kit also has one drawback - the lack of variety in the model range. In most cases, well-known companies release a limited number of sets that are popular with consumers.

Where can you buy such a set? You can buy a wall-mounted toilet bowl with installation in a set in stores that specialize in the sale of plumbing equipment. In addition, there is the possibility of placing a corresponding order via the Internet. In the second case, you can save money, since many online stores often hold various promotions and offer products from different brands with discounts.

How to install a toilet installation: recommendations

The first thing that needs to be done before starting the installation of the frame structure and the plumbing fixture is to choose a suitable place in which this complex will be located. There are two basic rules to be guided by when choosing a location for the installation and the toilet:

• the plumbing fixture and frame structure should be located as far as possible from the front door;
• the complex is mounted in the immediate vicinity of the risers to simplify the connection.

Helpful information! Experts advise to carefully study the instructions that are attached to each installation complex. Typically, this document contains a detailed description of the installation.

The following activity, which also applies to the preparatory stage, takes into account the application of the appropriate markings at the point of installation of the system. Consider the main stages of transferring the markings to the working surface:

1. First of all, it is necessary to draw the central axis of the future structure;
2. Further, it is necessary to outline the general contours of the devices, taking into account the actual dimensions of the toilet bowl installation and the plumbing fixture itself;
3. And finally, the most important thing is to mark the points that will correspond to the fixing elements. It is very important not to make a mistake at this stage, otherwise the installation of the structure simply will not work due to the mismatch of the fasteners.

On the Internet, you can find standard installation guidelines that apply to installation systems with suspended fixtures. Consider the dimensions that are indicated in such instructions:

• height from frame to floor - 430 mm;

• height from the floor to the point where the flush plate is located - 1000 mm;
• distance from the wall to the front surface of the frame - 150 mm;
• the gap between the drain tank and the wall is 20 mm.

To install a do-it-yourself toilet installation, you will need the following tools:

• pencil or marker (for marking the work surface);
• yardstick;
• building level, which is necessary for even placement of the frame and plumbing;
• drill;
• puncher;
• a set of keys for plumbing;
• special compound for sealing (for example, silicone).

It is very important to follow a clear sequence of actions, as well as to be guided by the instructions that come with the installation complex, and then problems during installation will not arise.

How to install a toilet installation: connection to communications

To connect the system to the water supply and sewerage system, you must purchase the appropriate number of fittings that will serve as connecting elements, as well as adapters. Experts advise buying fittings from materials that are resistant to the harmful effects of corrosion. Such materials include:

• copper;
• Cink Steel;
• polypropylene.

And also it is necessary to choose special clamps made of plastic material, which are necessary for fixing the pipes. Plastic products have the advantage of being rust resistant. It is recommended to calculate the materials and their prices in advance. Do-it-yourself installation of a toilet bowl will save a rather significant amount, since the services of specialists in this case are expensive.

For reliability, a sealing compound must be applied to the joints. Before installing the false box, it is imperative to check the performance of the system. For this, a test run is performed and a visual inspection for leaks is carried out. If there are no leaks anywhere, then you can start installing the box.

Features of the external finishing of the installation

After connecting the installation system to water and sewerage outlets, the resulting structure must be veneered. For this, a decorative panel is used, which can be made of plasterboard or any other material.

Note! The material that will be used for mounting the false box must necessarily have waterproof qualities.Otherwise, it will quickly deteriorate in high humidity conditions.

The frame for the organization of a false box is made of metal profile elements. Fixation of the facing material is carried out by means of self-tapping screws, the selection of which is made, depending on the characteristics of the cladding.

After mounting the false box, its surface can be decorated with any suitable building elements, including:

• ceramic tile;
• plastic panels;
• acrylic paint.

If the finishing of the box will be done using tiles, then experts recommend starting laying it from the drain button.

To install this system, you can use the services of specialists who will carry out an efficient and quick installation of the toilet installation. Prices for work of this kind vary from 3500 to 4500 rubles. (together with the toilet). And the cost of a separate installation of a plumbing fixture with a drain button ranges from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

How to install a hanging toilet: sequence of actions

Consider the step-by-step installation of a suspended plumbing fixture for installation:

1. First of all, you need to adjust the length of the drain tank branch pipe. It should protrude 5 cm beyond the wall.
2. Further, the sewer drain pipe is shortened (in the same way).
3. At this stage, it is necessary to position the pipes at the appropriate points.
4. Then a gasket is mounted on the studs and branch pipes.
5. After installing the gasket, it is necessary to position the plumbing bowl on the studs.
6. Further, the bowl is joined to the corresponding pipes.
7. At this stage, the installation of rubber gaskets and polymer inserts is carried out.
8. The lock nuts are pushed on and then tightened.

The installation of a wall-hung toilet bowl and installation system allows not only to decorate the bathroom, but also to provide comfort and cost savings. Such a kit is rightfully considered a profitable, innovative purchase.
