Rating of the best floor standing toilets in 2020

Each house has one important room, which is visited by all residents and more than once a day. This "small house" inside a large one should be equipped no less cozy and comfortable than other rooms. Of course, we are talking about the toilet. To make it as comfortable as possible, you need to choose the right "seat" for it. And what it will be depends on several factors:

• Combined or separate bathroom;
• What area is provided for the toilet;
• Condition and location of communications;
• Requirements for the design of the premises and the wishes of the owner.

We will tell you about the best outdoor models in this material.

Types of toilets and their differences

A familiar bathroom classic: a floor-standing toilet

The most common type that everyone has become accustomed to since the last century. If there are no problems with the area, many more often opt for the familiar floor-standing toilet, which is simple to use and extremely easy to maintain. Installation does not cause unnecessary trouble, because all the component parts are visible and do not require any special assembly work. In addition, in the event of any failure, the breakdown is immediately visible and can be easily eliminated without violating the integrity of the walls and interconnected structures. Changing the old one to a new one does not require additional repair work in the room itself, because the repair in the toilet room will not suffer in any way.

Manufacturers, taking into account the great demand for this type of construction, offer the product in different color options, so it is not a problem to choose a “chair” to match the color of the overall environment. Also, when choosing, you should pay attention to how the drain tank is attached:

• With special bolts;
• Monoblock (one-piece cast structure);
• Separate fastening for parts that are then connected by a tube.

Toilet for a minimalist design: wall-hung

This type of toilet bowls can be called in a sense new, because they appeared at the end of the last century and immediately gained popularity, both among apartment residents and in private houses, as well as in office buildings. This design has advantages and disadvantages to be aware of.

• Perfect for small bathrooms or for combined with a bath or shower;
• Fits well into the overall minimalistic design of the room;
• Due to the wall mounting, cleaning on the floor is easier. There is nowhere else to accumulate dirt, there is no back wall for collecting dust;
• You can make any floor, even with the most expensive coating - there is nothing to spoil it with if the toilet is hinged.

• The hinged design of the toilet bowl provides for the concealment of the cistern and the adjacent components in the wall, this destroys the main sanitary principle of the availability of communications;
• The installation of the toilet and the renovation of the premises are closely interconnected, since it is necessary to create a place for the hidden parts, although the end result is very pleasing to the eye.

Intermediate model - wall-mounted toilet

A plumbing innovation has become a side-mounted toilet, which has combined some of the characteristics of its "brothers", namely: just like the floor-standing toilet, the bowl of this toilet is attached to the floor, but at the same time, like the suspended one, this design provides for concealment tank and all related parts with an additional decorative panel. There is only one plus here - the panel of the attached toilet bowl will hide any flaws on the wall, if any arise during installation. The disadvantages are the same: inaccessibility of communications, difficulties in the event of breakdowns. True, if a door is again made in the panel, then the severity of these shortcomings can be alleviated.

Before the final choice of a "chair" in the main "office" of the house, it is worth weighing all the pros and cons, comparing the accompanying factors, so that later there are no unpleasant surprises, both during installation and later during operation.

Comparative characteristics: floor-standing VS suspended

One way or another, the repair time in the bathroom comes at some point in every home. In everyday life, much importance is not attached either to the type of toilet bowl, or to the method of its installation, especially its cost. Many do not even think about the fact that when deciding on a toilet model, difficulties may arise. To avoid them, you need to figure out in advance which toilet is better for a particular case.

Parameters	Floor standing toilet	Wall hung toilet
Design features	A familiar look for everyone, but there is a choice of color and size.	Suitable for lovers of laconic minimalism in design.
Footprint	You need a lot of space for installation (not suitable for small bathrooms).	It does not require a large area and creates the illusion of additional space, plus it does not take up space on the floor.
Complexity of installation	During installation, there are no special difficulties, no additional manipulations associated with the walls of the room	For installation, you need to disassemble the wall and create conditions for placing hidden parts of the structure, it is best to do this during the complete reconstruction of the bathroom.
Height Standards (Floor to Bowl Rim)	Universal construction height 35.5 cm, the comfort height can be individually adjusted.	Universal construction height 35.5 cm, during installation you can easily adjust the height according to individual characteristics
Service	More laborious cleaning, this is due to the placement of the structure on the floor	There are practically no difficulties in maintenance
The cost	The price range is quite wide, but in comparison with other types, there are more models at an affordable price	More expensive than classic designs

There is a myth that a wall-hung toilet is not suitable for people with a lot of weight. This is speculation, since it can easily withstand up to 400 kg if properly installed.

But, at the same time, over time, the suspended one may be subject to more frequent leaks and other breakdowns, which are associated precisely with the method of installation in the wall than the classic floor model.
