Geberit toilet installations: features, types and sizes

For many years plumbing in the form of a toilet has not changed, it has always had a standard look, universal dimensions and a well-known shape. However, modern technologies dictate a different approach, namely functionality in everything. Built-in elements allow you to hide all the unaesthetic components; only the drain button and the bowl remain in a visible place. Everything is hidden in a special wall or box.

The advantage of such designs is their versatility, they can be built into different rooms and spaces. Your own style in the interior, a free approach, the possibility of quick installation, as well as affordable costs - these are the requirements that apartment owners make for modern renovation in the toilet. The intelligent system from Geberit makes it possible to develop flexible solutions for any room.

A toilet installation is a metal structure with equipment and other special elements attached to it, for example, a flush button. It contains enough elements to make the unit look good. The system is designed so that you can experiment, place it in a place convenient for the client. Manufacturers have developed a wide range of different models for any wallet and a variety of models. The system consists of a number of elements that form an integral apparatus.

The body is the main component. It is made of steel, which is first coated with an anti-corrosion agent.The toilet harness is fixed to the installation, then all the fittings are installed, including various fittings. A drain tank is attached to the body.

A wall-hung toilet is the second important design element. As a rule, it always comes with the installation. Such products have a universal and easy-to-adjust mechanism. This makes it possible to form a frame for any wall-hung toilet. When choosing a particular design, it must be remembered that quality directly affects the operation of the unit. There is definitely no need to save on such a thing. You should choose products reliable and proven manufacturers... I am also glad that the choice does not stop only at white, which allows you to develop your own unique style and design.

The drain button is the third thing that must be taken into account when forming a particular installation. It is taken out to the wall, installed above the barrel, you can choose another location, because the system allows. The main thing is that it is convenient to use it. When choosing this accessory, it is important to pay attention not only to the design, but also to the drain mode. It is advisable to choose the option in which there are two buttons, since this significantly saves water.

In general, the installation has the following advantages:

• beautiful appearance, respectively, this is reflected in the overall design of the room;
• it is convenient to clean the room;
• takes up little space;
• good sound insulation;
• warranty period - from 10 years.

The Geberit brand has many obvious advantages. The main ones are: ease of maintenance of equipment, as well as the use of structures made of high quality and reliable materials.

Here are a number of advantages of the installation from the manufacturer Geberit, namely:

• the structure is made of steel;
• toilets are being tested - a load of up to 500 kg is installed on them;
• the tank is made of HDPE, it is a one-piece, seamless tank;
• the unit is 100 percent sealed;
• the flush elbow is welded three times;
• functional units have comfortable access;
• spare parts under warranty will supply 25 years;
• the device is easily installed.

It is worth noting such negative aspects in using the installation as:

• high price;
• complex installation;
• it is difficult to immediately understand that there is a leak, since all hoses are covered with false panels;
• legal component - utilities do not allow the riser to be closed, so you have to get the approval of these services so that there will be no problems in the future.

All components of a particular design depend on the type. There are two types in total.

• Block installation is considered the most budgetary. It is mounted in a special niche, then the fittings that hold the toilet are fixed to it. The hole is closed during installation with a special box, then there is finishing in accordance with the design of the room.

• Frame installation is the most expensive and difficult to install. The frame consists of steel coated with a special anti-corrosion solution. All other elements are attached to this frame. The dimensions of the frame are as follows: width - from 50 to 60 cm, height - from 850 to 140 cm, depth - from 15 to 30 cm. The main advantage of the frame version is that installation can be carried out in any conditions and premises. Fasteners and models are selected in accordance with the room in which they will be located.

There is and combined option. It starts working when the structure is fixed horizontally and vertically. It is often referred to as the angular configuration. They are used in small rooms, they use a corner that was previously unclaimed, thereby freeing up more space for useful things. The type directly affects the configuration of the bathroom itself. The advantages of the frame type are adjustable elements, which make it possible to adjust the dimensions and dimensions of the niche itself. Even a narrow design can look harmonious in a small washroom.

The standard sizes of built-in toilets include the following:

• height - from 35 to 45 cm;
• width - from 30 to 40 cm;
• depth - from 50 to 60 cm.

It should be noted that the dimensions vary from model as well as purpose. There are toilets for children and there are for adults. Some companies have gone further and developed bowls for the disabled. Every year more and more designer models appear. They are made to order, they can be of individual sizes. The shortened installation (82 cm) is used when the installation space is limited by the height. For example, when the toilet is placed under windows, it is also called a low installation.

The drain tank does not look like a standard one. It is made from a different material, and also differs in its compact size. The width of the innovative plastic tank is 9 cm, width - 50 cm, height - from 55 to 60 cm, volume - 3-5 liters. Before installing, it is necessary to take into account the size of the box itself. You need to measure everything carefully before buying. If the design does not fit, then it is important to check all the dimensions of the niche prepared for it.

The dimensions of the installation depend on its type. The frame has the following characteristics:

• depth from 15 to 30 cm;
• height from 85 to 140 cm;
• and the maximum width can be up to 60 cm.

It is necessary to say about such parameters as:

• the distance from the floor to the sewer pipe, that is, its central point is 230 mm;
• fasteners are located at a distance of 17 to 24 cm.

Toilets have the smallest dimensions, in which the block type of placement is used. They differ from the previous version. Here the depth will be from 10 to 16 cm, the length will be one meter.

It must be remembered that most situations involve dividing the cistern as well as the toilet. In this case, they are mounted separately. The last element is fixed against the wall itself. The wall-mounted installation comes with several fixings to the load-bearing wall. It is suitable for loads up to 410 kg, which means that it is strong.
