Among domestic firms that produce a wide range of toilet bowls, "Oskol ceramics" is in great demand. The products of this company are popular, in stores and on the official website you can see many variations for every taste.

The brand's catalog contains not only traditional white toilets of various shapes, but also colored ones: red, green and others. Their characteristics are quite varied.

By type, toilet bowls can be:

• floor-standing - traditional view, which is mounted to the floor;
• attached - placed on the floor, but the tank is hidden, built into the wall;
• suspended Is a type of built-in plumbing that not only hides the cistern, but also includes a bowl hanging structure.

In addition, toilet bowls are divided into adults and children. There is also a suburban variety of this plumbing.

Another important point is the material of use:

• faience - the most budgetary and durable, the most common, but due to porosity it is difficult to clean;
• porcelain - its basis, like earthenware, is clay, but quartz is also added here, they are more durable, clean well, but the price is much more expensive;
• plastic - lightweight and inexpensive, suitable for summer cottages.

The choice of water outlet depends on the sewerage scheme, it can be:

• oblique;
• vertical;

Another parameter is the type of tank, in compacts it comes in a set, but often the bowl and tank are purchased separately:

• the compact is connected to the bowl and is included in the kit;
• an angular cistern is designed for installation in the corner of a bathroom;
• monoblock design is represented by a cast product;
• hinged - connected to the pipe and placed high;
• recessed - hidden in the wall.

The flush system is another significant nuance:

• shower type - water supply points are located along the entire perimeter, even more expensive, but very practical and comfortable.
