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;

The choice of water outlet depends on the sewerage scheme, it can be:
- oblique;
- vertical;
- horizontal;
- universal.
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 shape of the bowl is very important:
- with shelf (dish-shaped) - there is protection against splashes, but this option is not too hygienic;
- visor - with a slope to the wall, the most convenient to use;
- funnel - the drain is located in the center, it is convenient in terms of hygiene, but the water splashes.
The flush system is another significant nuance:
- cascade type - water comes in a stream from one hole, wasteful and requires frequent cleaning;
- circular type - water flows in two directions, washing the entire bowl, is quite hygienic, water is consumed less, such systems are more expensive;
- shower type - water supply points are located along the entire perimeter, even more expensive, but very practical and comfortable.
It is also worth deciding which line to the tank will be optimal: side, bottom or rear. After the approximate requirements for the toilet model are formed, you can study the assortment.
