Keramag toilets: model range, features and characteristics

Currently, certain requirements are imposed on plumbing fixtures in terms of appearance and sterility. This applies primarily to toilets. Many brands are constantly improving the appearance and properties of toilets, but the flushing principle remains the same. The changes took place with the development of Rimless, which in Russian means "without a rim". She made it possible to choose between standard and new products, which include, for example, the Keramag toilet.

The rimless toilet was created in the early 2000s and was introduced to the plumbing market. Japanese brand Toto. Among the European countries, England was the country of origin of this type of toilets. So, one of the firms in the UK began to produce products with a high degree of hygiene (without a rim) in 2007 for state health care institutions.

Subsequent developments led to the adoption of the latest Rimfree technology. It was first used by the Keramag trademark. This brand established the production of rimless equipment five years ago, and now it is made by many plumbing firms.

If we take the usual toilet bowl and the one without a rim, then at first glance it is impossible to determine which developments were used for their production, because all their distinctive features are hidden inside and they depend on the desire of manufacturers to make plumbing equipment with a long term of use and the most sterile.

For all the engineering and hydraulic advantages, rim equipment has one significant drawback. The rim makes cleaning and cleaning the toilet bowl more difficult, which leads to the formation of dirt and smudges, in addition, germs accumulate here, which causes the formation of unpleasant odors in the toilet.

At the same time, the first option helped in eliminating the problem in part, and the second was meaningless, because the use of strong chemicals for cleaning led to a rapid abrasion of the dirt-repellent coating.

Then the experts concluded that eliminating the very source of the problems is more correct than eliminating the difficulties caused by it. Therefore, it was decided to remove the bezel.

An important goal facing manufacturers and designers is to prevent overflow of liquid over the edge of the product. In standard products, the rim was used as a restrictor; in the Rimfree technology, a special flow divider is used. The system used is very effective, this can be judged by the fact that this technology is used by most firms in the production of plumbing.

Like standard earthenware products, rimless toilets allow you to create an interior that follows modern fashion traditions. Nowadays, manufacturers of toilet bowls offer the following types of products: floor-standing, hanging, attached.

So that after installation, the product will please its owner for a long period, when buying, you need to take into account the advantages and disadvantages of each model.

Floor products. These toilets are the descendants of the timeless classic models. And although their cost is more acceptable compared to the latest models, when choosing them, you need to pay attention to certain nuances.

• The size of the room and the subtleties of the toilet or combined bathroom. A protruding space with a drainage device installed on it will take up to 0.4 m of free area, and this can be very noticeable for a small room.
• The effectiveness of the plum. Due to the fact that the overflow tank is very low, the liquid has insufficient potential energy. This nuisance has long compelled equipment manufacturers to make calculations and simulate hydrodynamic processes. In products developed recently, the problem is exacerbated by the presence of a splitter, which is an obstruction in the path of the liquid.

Floor-standing toilets include the Citterio model, made of sanitary porcelain, with horizontal drainage, no cistern included.

The advantages of such equipment, which seems to float in the air, are immediately visible. This design makes cleaning very easy. In addition, the use of such a model visually increases the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bthe room and makes the atmosphere stylish. There are also disadvantages, it is a rather laborious installation and high cost. Keramag's pendant models include the Renova model. It is characterized by a horizontal outlet and no cistern.

The rimless attachments incorporate all the best features from the previous two models. Users, choosing a product of this type, note the reliability of the design, easy installation, efficient and economical operation of the drain system. The use of the splitter and the reduction in fluid consumption resulted in a reduction in noise, which has been inherent in console plumbing for many years. The Icon model belongs to such toilets produced by the Keramag trademark.

Attached models have the depth required to fully utilize the anti-splash function, which is why users have appreciated the high level of ease of use. The cistern for this type of product is hidden in the wall, and they seem as weightless as hanging products.

The positive characteristics of products manufactured using Rimless developments are:

• hygiene (a product without a rim makes it possible to increase the level of sanitary requirements, because there are no places for intensive reproduction of bacteria);
