Features and variety of models of Laufen toilets

Buying a toilet can be a problem for people who are not ready to choose from a huge variety of models and manufacturers. To choose a product that will delight you not only with its modern appearance, but also with high quality, you need to know the criteria by which you should make a choice. In the article, we will focus on Laufen toilets, a variety of models and features of plumbing from this popular brand.

The company was founded in 1892 in Switzerland. In 1950, the company invented the first combination toilet with a built-in ventilated system. After 2 years, the company began to expand and acquired a plant in Brazil.

The production has about 1,800 employees, and offices can be found in all countries of the world. In 1980, a Swiss company developed a technology for injection molding of ceramics.

Laufen produces approximately 3 million pieces a year. The following types of sanitary ware go on sale under the brand of the company:

• toilet bowl-compact;
• hanging toilet;
• floor-standing toilet;
• wash basin;
• bidet.

Choosing toilets of this brand for your apartment or house, you give preference to Swiss quality and reliability.

In this case, it is worth paying attention to a number of factors.

There are quite a lot of materials for the manufacture of plumbing devices at the moment. On sale you can find products from:

• porcelain;
• ceramics;
• metal;
• natural and artificial stone;
• plastic.

Each of the materials has special properties, but experts prefer Laufen porcelain toilets for strength, reliability and beauty.

The market offers 3 types of bowls, namely:

• visor;
• disc-shaped;
• funnel-shaped.

The dish shape has the advantage that thanks to it, the appearance of splashes when flushing is reduced... However, due to the constant presence of water in it, salt deposits will accumulate on the surface of the product.

The funnel bowl is considered to be more hygienic to use because all waste ends up in a funnel, which is located in the center. However, such bowls have a drawback: when the water is drained, a lot of splashes are formed, but this can be avoided by buying a toilet bowl of a special shape - with a sloping wall. The visor view of the bowl combines the advantages of a funnel-shaped and disc-shaped bowls, therefore it is the optimal purchase solution.

An important point in choosing a toilet is the type of flush. They are:

• straight;
• circular.

With a direct flush, water moves from the cistern to the center of the bowl. Due to the strong flow, such a drain allows you to wash almost the entire surface of the toilet bowl, but not completely, so in some cases a brush may be required. With the advent of circular flush, it is possible to flush silently, while cleaning the entire surface of the product. However, the cost of such products is higher than with a direct flush.

And also currently appeared cistern designallowing use water sparingly so as not to empty the entire tank. There is a possibility of adjustment so that less water flows in.

The range of Laufen sanitary ware includes several lines of toilet bowls, and all series were developed by different designers, which makes them different from each other. This allows you to choose the option that suits you.

One of the most popular is the Pro series. The collection was designed by designer Peter Wirtz.

The most common model in this line is Pro rimless... The product is a wall-hung toilet with a horizontal outlet, equipped with a micro-lift seat.

Not so long ago, a modernized version of this series was released. Pro S... The products of this line have smooth lines and are perfectly combined with the main collection. It was created by the same designer as the original version.

The highlight of the collection is the rimless toilet. Thanks to the original design, it has become more hygienic, since there is no need to constantly clean out the dirt from under the rim, and microbes do not multiply. Thanks to innovative system design EasyFit the product is attached to the wall absolutely imperceptibly, which undoubtedly pleases consumers.
