It is necessary to have information such as the dimensions and size of the installation space, the location of the sewage outlet, new designs and models of sanitary ware, knowing the types and features of products available in the market, etc., to choose the most suitable model of sanitary ware. In the following, we will go into more details to choose sanitary ware according to its type, which includes the toilet, vanity, and Iranian toilet.
Choosing the right vanity
As it was said, for example, based on the dimensions of the space that we have, according to the opening direction of the bathroom door and the radius of rotation of the door, it is possible to estimate the dimensions of the sink to a large extent, on the other hand, the location of the faucets and other components of the bathroom such as The bowl or toilet should also be considered. Corner vanity models or cabinet vanity models can be of interest for small spaces. Sometimes the location of the water outlet and the connection of the faucets creates limitations in choosing the height of the vanity, which can be solved by changing the plumbing to a surface, or the vanity model should be replaced with a suitable height.
As mentioned, the location of the sewage outlet should also be taken into consideration, and for example, in the cabinet models, the location of the elbows and the sewage outlet should match the installation plan implemented in the bathroom. Many luxury models of imported wash basins can be found in the market, which are designed based on the standards of implementation of facilities in producing countries such as China and Turkey, and in order to use this type of sanitary porcelain products, it is sometimes necessary to make changes in the piping plan and or forced cutting or unusual changes in the vanity cabinet.
Today, there is a wide variety of sanitary ware in the market, which are designed based on the place of use. There is an example of a half-base vanity in the market, which is very suitable and popular for public toilets. The half pedestal sink bowl is completely similar to the pedestal sink in terms of shape and dimensions, with the difference that the base of this type of sink is designed in such a way that instead of being placed on the floor, it is installed on the wall by retaining fasteners and screws. The great advantage of half-stand sinks is taken into account in the cleaning of the bathroom. In this way, according to the distance of the base of the sink from the ground, cleaning from under the sink is done simply and easily, and in public environments such as parks and stores, toilet cleaning is done easily. Of course, this does not mean that half-base sinks are not used in residential buildings, in many residential units nowadays, half-base sinks are used, but similarly, in residential buildings, under-cabinet sinks without base are a more suitable and beautiful alternative. Because this model of products, in addition to being installed on the wall and far from the ground, their cabinet space in residential buildings and its appearance are more important.
Choosing the right Iranian toilet
Iranian toilet or toilet bowl is one of the types of common sanitary ware in Iranian buildings, and the products available in the market do not differ much from each other. When buying and installing an Iranian toilet, in addition to paying attention to the appearance of the model, it is necessary to pay attention to the dimensions of the installation site, especially the height of the model compared to the location and also the drain of the product.
If we take a closer look at the Iranian toilet from a technical point of view, we will find that the medical models of the Iranian toilet, in the part where the legs are placed, have a slight slope towards the front, which is designed to reduce the pressure on the knees and subsequently Prevents back pain. When buying an Iranian toilet, we should pay attention to the way and place of water exit when using the siphon.
The drain or so-called rim in Iranian toilets is a channel on the peripheral edge of the toilet bowl that cannot be seen. The water needed for washing flows through this channel and enters the toilet bowl. Recently, models have been introduced in the market in which the water outlet is completely covered and the water comes out through small holes on this cover. The advantage of this design is to prevent the accumulation of contamination in sanitary porcelain and to prevent the nesting of insects such as cockroaches. Paying attention to the type of drain in Iranian toilets is one of the important criteria when buying these products. The drain or rim in Iranian toilets is a channel on the peripheral edge of the toilet bowl that is not visible. The water needed for washing flows through this channel and enters the toilet bowl. Iranian toilets are equipped with two types of drains:
- Closed rim or so-called closed rim
It is an advanced type of cistern in Iranian toilets. This drain, which is mostly found in modern Iranian toilets, is in a form where holes are installed along the drain channel at specific intervals so that the water circulates after entering the drain channel and then through the holes with regular intervals, in a uniform and cascade manner. In the environment of the current bowl and the washing process should be done more hygienically. The presence of regular holes along the channel in the closed drain, in addition to causing the volume of water to flow evenly around the toilet bowl and to completely wash all surfaces inside the bowl, also prevents the accumulation of waste and insects in the toilet bowl.
- Open rim or open rim
It is a simpler type of cistern in Iranian toilets. This drain, which is mostly found in older toilets, has an open channel without regular holes, and the water flows to the depth of the bowl immediately after entering the drain channel.
Another point that should be taken into account when buying an Iranian toilet is the shape and distance of the grooves in the place of ablution
Buying a suitable toilet and its types
In addition to beauty and high quality, a good toilet should drain the largest amount of impurities in the toilet bowl with the least amount of water consumption in the shortest time, without sound, without discharge and with sufficient suction power. Emptying and washing in the toilet is done in different ways. “Drip”, “Whirlpool”, “Waterjet” and “Turbojet” drainage methods are the four common methods that can be seen in most of the toilets today.
Paying attention to the drainage system of the bathroom toilets is one of the important criteria when buying these products. In order to familiarize customers with this standard, 4 types of common drain systems in all types of toilets are mentioned below:
- Wash Down Flushing System
In the drip drainage system, water is directed from the water tank to the inner edges of the bowl and then exits through the holes installed at specific intervals, and washing is done from top to bottom. This system is often designed in two-piece toilets and its water consumption is relatively high.
- Vortex Flushing System
In the vortex drainage system, the water is directed into the toilet seat through the water tank duct and then enters the toilet bowl, and is drained by the rotation and vortex that it creates inside the bowl. Although the volume of water used and the draining time in this system is more than the drip systems; But washing and draining silently is one of its merits.
- Water-Jet Flushing System
Waterjet discharge system is one of the new types of discharge systems with Rim-Jet shooting method. In this system, in addition to the downspouts of the drip system, water is directed through a channel from the water tank to the Rim-Jet shooting, which is embedded in the depth of the bowl, and at the same time, by the water that comes from the top of the bowl (same as the drip system) for washing. The bowl flows, double pressure is created and emptying is done in a short time and with a smaller volume of water than other systems. Using two-time flushing mechanism (emptying in two modes of low water volume and high water volume) and low noise during emptying are the advantages of this system.
- Turbo-Jet Flushing System
Turbojet exhaust system is another type of modern exhaust system with Rim-Jet shooting method. The function of this system is the same as the waterjet system, with the difference that instead of a normal gutter (similar to a drip system), two simultaneous rim jet washing channels are installed on the top of the bowl. In this system, emptying is done simultaneously with washing the bowl and using strong water pressure from three rimjet channels (one in the depth of the bowl and two at the top of the bowl) in a shorter period of time and with less water consumption than other systems.
Paying attention to the size of the toilet seat is one of the most important points in its installation that should be taken into account when buying. The distance from the center of the siphon outlet to the wall behind the toilet is called Ax. There are two types of “normal” and “quiet” doors in the bathroom toilets available in the market. Note that you may pay more for soft-close doors when buying, but you will realize the advantages of this soft-close door model when you use it. So, in the case that the toilet has a normal door, sometimes you have to give up opening and closing the toilet door, because the sudden contact of the door with the opening of the toilet and the pollution caused by it will lead you to the conclusion that Always keep the door open.
